DEAR ABBY*: Why are making decisions so hard? I am at a cross roads in my life where there are many changes and decisions being made. Am I really ready for this? Can I handle these events? Oh Abby, I feel amidst my emotions that I am alone and well..…weird. – CONFUSED IN LOGAN
DEAR CONFUSED: Change is hard. I've never liked change. In fact, I am downright terrified of change. Change should only be something loose that you find in the pocket of your jeans or unexpectedly in the couch. That is good change. The other kind always makes me cry and worry if we've made correct decisions. Fear of the unknown, I guess. Fear of unforeseen elements. 1
DEAR ABBY*: When I read this, you made me feel like I wasn’t alone. I know that with decisions will come change, but I never knew I had a fear of it. I do have a fear of the unknown. My husband and I have dealt with making some decisions in our life right now. Not the good vs. evil decisions like smoking vs. not, OR fruit vs. candy bars. You decide the evil. I am talking about when there are two good choices to choose from like brownies vs. ice-cream, but you aren’t quite sure what to do. Both are good. I am not a freak, and now understand with every decision comes some sort of change whether big or small. I now realize there will always be a tad bit of fear. My husband and I, with much deliberation, have made our decision**. I may cry, but I will look forward and hope for the good change that I might find in my pocket. Thanks for writing your thoughts Abby. We are more alike than we think. – ENLIGHTENED IN LOGAN

yay, congrats! change is so scary. but once you've decided, then it's done and you just get to enjoy the ride.
also, at least you are moving to a place with family. that made our last move MUCH easier.
and just remember, moving is so much easier than babies, right?
wv: peter. weird.
Oh, my goodness, gracias sakes alive! Who knew that our dinner and scum game with you guys last week would be soooo near the end of your Utah chapter? I'm happy for you that you made a decision, but I'm very, very sad that you're moving away.
You see, I don't like change either.
Love you.
At least you have the decision part out of the way! Now you can get ready for the move and do what you need to do! You will be missed, but you will have a great time whereEVER you go in life! You have your best friend right beside you, right??? He'll help you in the transition. I'm going to miss you so much! Are you going to come back for girls camp? Awe, Autumn, I'm trying not to be sad... So congrats on your move!! How exciting! I'm so happy for you both!
Much love, Chell
I'm going to miss you!!!
Why didn't you ask your mother-in-law for advice? What were you THINKING? Just kidding. I'm glad you've made your decision. Sad it is so far away.
Wait...So you're HOME for good?!? As in permanent?! SO EXCITING!! I'm so glad I noticed you have a blog when I was about to respond to you on Facebook! You're so cute and fun, Autumn...I'm so excited your back. Me and Spencer just moved back to WR last December. I definitely enjoyed my time out west too...and I was actually hesitant about moving back home. But it's been the best thing in the world, for us at least. We would love to hang out with y'all sometime!
