The rumors are true... we will be moving

We are moving. I'm so impatient...I really should be waiting to blog about this in a week or two, but I've been so excited planning.  Last May Joe applied to Fidelity Investments in Salt Lake City, UT. This was right after I told him I would be happy anywhere on the west coast. (not that I didn't love east coast...it's just with the baby coming and family. It's my 1st choice) He heard from them sometime in Oct/Nov. Set up a phone interview, then they scheduled a 2nd then I believe an in person interview for Dec. He flew up there for 24hours and had the interview. He was so excited about the company and the opportunity this would give him. He was beyond happy when they called him the next day to offer the job! We have been so thrilled and anxious to move forward, the only problem was they train new employees every 3 months or so and Feb. was already filled. That put us back to May!
 
Wait....Baby Brinley comes beginning of June (give or take a few weeks).

Last we heard he may be able to start in April, and in the next few week we will hopefully know an exact date! With my brother getting married sometime around then, my sister leaving for Thailand for a study of board for summer, I have to say I'm trying to do as much planning as now as possible.
Starting with where we want to live?

Joe will be up in SLC next gateway mall, basketball arena, and Temple Square. Our first thought was in the city. Keep us close enough, then when we looked at whats most important to us we want to be near trails, places to take champ and the baby hiking. I guess we want to be near other families (not hard to do in Utah really though). close enough to my siblings to have them over whenever, but most import we don't want to pay what we paid to live in Virginia or what CA would be like. We want simple and easy, no fancy stuff.
So, if anyone has the answer or advice..I'll take it. For right now...we are leaving towards West Jordan area.

P.S. Jan. 29- That night Joe expressed to me that he doesn't want a communte at all now and wants to live as close as possible to work. Thats fine by me....back to looking and researching out. Thanks for all the tips everyone!!!! I've looked into them all.
