3 years ago Hank and I decided to pick up our lives and move to Calgary Canada, it was big leap of faith for us but we figured...why not? It will be adventure!
I never could have expected what Calgary would become for us...it is our home and we have fallen in love with it. The friends we have made, the experiences we have had, the canadianisms we have picked up have all have impacted us so much and made us feel right at home. We knew when we moved up here it would be short term, but now that our journey is coming to an end it is a very bittersweet feeling. While I know the decision to move back to Utah is right for our family at this time I am filled with sadness to leave this chapter of our lives here in Calgary and take on the next chapter!
These last couple weeks have been a complete whirlwind as our plans to move home at the end of the summer so Hank could start the Masters Program at the University of Utah in the fall have been put into superspeed! Hank got offered a job and our house sold and the next thing we know we are getting ready to pack up to move back to Utah. While it is quicker than we wanted we feel very blessed that Hank was able to get a good job in his field of work and couldn't help but feel that things were happening as they should when our house sold a few days later.
While I can't wait to be back home with my family and friends...these next few weeks I will cherish Canada and how it has become a part of me and always will be. Thank you to all of you who have made this my home...I hope you will always let me come back to visit!

We'll miss you but good luck and Congratulations! All the best Emily.
I can't believe you're leaving so soon! It was so nice to get to know you while you were living here. Let us know when you will be visiting! Best wishes in your new adventures!
I can't believe you guys are moving back. That is so exciting! If you move in with your parents we'll just be a couple blocks away at my parents. We're staying here for the summer until we move. We'll have to have a play date with the girls sometime!
Ya, I heard the news. How do you describe being happy for you, but in a quiet way? I'm so glad for the opportunity ahead of you guys, but so sad for me, and for you leaving. I had visions of play dates that will never come...but great for you, and I am happy that life is moving onward and upward for the both of you. We'll miss you!!
I hope you know how loved and supported you are as you and Hank and little B start this new chapter.
you will all be so missed but I am happy for you. you have been such a blessing to me. Thanks for everything.

Lyle says Hank's looking sexy. That's all.
Wow what big news! I will be thinking of you! That is a big change so quickly. I have only been in London for one year and already I am SO SAD to leave so I cannot imagine how you feel leaving Canada. But I know the pull from both sides--a home you have built vs the home you have always loved. I hope all goes well and can't wait to see you!
I've been meaning to comment all week on this. I'm so excited for you and how nice it will be to be around all your family again. Miss B and all her girl cousins will have a blast I'm sure!! It was fate that we sat beside each other that first Sunday (in our wrong ward!!). So glad for our friendship and Calgary just won't be the same without the Nelsons!
