Some of the things that we will miss most from McAllen are our Friends.  Here is a slide of Jerica and her friends at Abigail Blalocks Birthday Party and going to the Disney Princess on ice show with Abigail.

As we left our beautiful home in the warm weather of McAllen Texas for Utah on the 26th of October we left with mixed feeling.  We left with excitment to go home and be by family and sadness to leave all the fantastic friends we had made in the Rio Grande Valley.  I am going to try to use my blog to chronical the last 7 years of life as we moved from Salt Lake City to El Paso, then to Dallas, Then to Fort Lauderdale, Fl next off to McAllen Texas and then back to Salt Lake City.  I am going to post family photos that show the activities of all the places and I will Focus on what has Changed in Salt Lake since we left which is a lot and put photos up of those things.  I think the thing that changed the most for me was me.  When we left Utah I was the typical Utah girl next door and I am coming back with many opinions and much knowledge about many envioments, school systems, home construction, many ethnic experiences and having grown in my faith exponentially.  I have 5 additional families to add to my normal family, and more friends than I can count in many countries,states, provinces and who participate in many languages and religions.  I was very sad to leave McAllen and have had a hard time with this transition but I am accepting living in Riverton and love being with family.  So we have started a new life in the beautiful Salt Lake Valley
