We got some interesting news a couple weeks ago that my dad is going to be transferred by the end of May. My parents have always planned on heading out east to finish his career with CES but they got a call from Salt Lake and I guess it just wasn't in the cards. They are actually being transferred to San Luis Obispo, CA. Anyone who knows my mom though is very aware that she is going to be in heaven about 20 minutes from the beach and of course dad is excited because he gets to work with kids and not be in some stuffy office some where. Dyan and I took the news a little hard as it has just been about a year since we lost Dyan's mom and the news that our only other parents were moving out of state was a little hard. I think it was probably harder as well since we have been talking more and more about when we want to start our family and having mom and dad Abbott close by was always kind of the plan. I learned in the MTC that no growth can happen inside your comfort zone and I have come to see this as the Lord booting me out of my comfort zone once again. The blessings that will come from this transfer though will be something amazing I am sure. Plus we have talked about it and everyone we ask have said that San Luis Obispo is possibly the most beautiful part of California. We are excited to have some place to vacation now with out having to pay for a hotel and with a knowledge that my dad and mom will not point us wrong when it comes to places to see and eat. I don't think that you could ask for a better pair of vacation guides. Till May I guess we will have Dad and Mom might be around till the house sells so no big changes just yet.
