We're moving!
And believe us, there's nothing harder
than leaving somewhere you
truly consider home.
We're going to miss all our wonderful friends,
our amazing ward, Ruby's on the pier, all the convenient
shopping, living so close to Disneyland, etc.
***
But we know this is the RIGHT move, at the
RIGHT time, for the RIGHT reasons.
***
And we're excited to be moving to a
familiar place, with family, friends, and fond
memories to make this transition that
much easier.
Ventura California here we come!
Ventura is a hidden jewel along the California Coastline.
It's my roots, beautiful, family oriented, &
a beach town we can actually afford to
buy a home. We'll be staying with my
parents, for a year or so, while we save up enough
dough for a down payment on our dreams.
We know you'll understand, even if you find yourself
on the short end of our stick.
Now leave us a comment. We know it's going to be
a 50/50 toss of love it versus hate this,
but let us know what you think anyway.
And remember, we love you
Huntington Beach, really we do... .
Additional Info-
*Kent will continue on with Secure Net,
just from a different location.
*We're tentatively set to move August 22, 2009.
*We want to enroll Jack in a preschool
for the fall. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Well, it doesn't leave me on the short end of the stick and I'm happy for you! :) Love you.
I am excited for you guys. I know how much you've loved it where you are. Good luck with the move. Now we have a new place to visit you & explore when we come to CA again. Is Kent switching jobs too?
Please tell me you're moving into your parent's ward???!!!!!
That's great Jodi! I might get to see you now if we ever visit Jaron's family. I haven't been there for two years...when Daniel came home from his mission. We'll see though. Have fun with packing and good luck saving for a home. That is exciting!
Yea! You will be in our neck of the woods! We are in TO! We must start a girls night (we have all been talking about it!!)...It is always hard moving, so I know it will be a transition, but you have a very positive attitude which is a big driving force! Look forward to seeing you around!!
Jenn, we'll be in VTA 2nd ward. Wanna hang out?
I think that's great news!! And I'll get to see a lot more of you guys! Yippee!!! Love you = )
anonymous is Auntie Patti!! Couldn't figure out the 'account thing"
I'm sure this is a good thing, but I want more information - why the move now? New job? Transferring within the same job? I'll be watching for more updates! Good luck!
Well I have to say that I'm the first DOWNER comment! We're sad to see you guys go but having just done the same thing (from San Diego back to the OC) I can understand your reasons and motivation for going back home.
Mason is going to miss Jackson SO SO much! Maybe we'll set up a play date at Disneyland some day down the road.
We'll miss you guys! (sniff!)
That is exiting guys! You will be missed for sure. But Ventura is a beautiful and fun place to be. But wholly crap that is quick announce and a month later outta here. Are you selling your condo or renting out or have you sold already. Good luck to you guys. You gotta do what is best for your family. Lets keep in touch. PS the future Augie will miss the future Jill she is the only baby around his age.
Oh it is "Exiting" but it is even more EXCITING which is what I meant to say!
Wow! We'll definitely miss you all, but at least we can see you when we visit Ventura. Let us know if you need anything, and good luck with your move!
We are excited for you guys. Change is always good, And if you guys are feeling too crammed and busy with stuff we totally understand if you don't come for the blessing, don't feel like you have to.
Wowzers. Kent is giving up his daily surfing? Well I have been to Ventura and it is very beautiful and right on the ocean so it seems like a straight across type of move. Now if you were headed to Kentucky or Utah somewhere then I would feel more sorry for you guys. It's all goooooood!
You had ne excited for a minute. I thought maybe you were coming back to Utah. When you do make it up her I want to see you.
You stink and we hate you! But your blog is adorable. Just kidding! Not about the blog,just about the "hate you" part. We'll always love you - as long as you come and visit us. I'm seriously sad though, you need to come over for dinner before you guys go. And I need you to teach an Enrichment class on "Bargain Shopping" before you leave - August 4th, mark it down, I'll call you later to REALLY twist your arm about it. Might as will get all I can out of you while you're still here, right?
Ha! Ha! Since Liz is so "exited" to see you guys go, we'll invite her over for the "Get out of here, Howes!" dinner too. I'll have Brett hunt you guys down at church and schedule it - that's the kind of thing he does at church anyway.
hooray! we can't wait... too bad it's not a move to Vta 1st ward. Hannah will be starting preschool at CPC- community pres. church, it's supposed to be one of the best on the west side of town. my sisters kids go to eastminster sonshine on the east end of town- you probably need to call now find out where you can get a spot. -keely
Spendlove: For the move. (I guess) I might actually run into you now, more than just the 4th of July street parade.
Although, how come we never get together when you go to Scottsdale to see Kent's family? That should change... ;)
How fun! Doesn't really effect me either way. I'm never in CA any more. Good luck with the move!
bummer dude! i am sad to hear this news...but...of course happy for you guys too. How will we ever replace you in our bunco group? hope you know you will still be invited to my san clemente girls get aways!!!!!!!!
:( we'll miss you!!!!
I'm so excited for you guys! Sounds like a good move to me. Good luck with the packing and moving. We still need to meet up at Disneyland one of these days:)
No way!!!
Congratulations! You will be missed, but I'm so excited for you. Good luck!
Who is the happiest grandma in the world???? Meeee...
Having Jack and Jill (and you & Kent,too) in Ventura is my dream come true :)
G-Ma
That's exciting news! I would love to live closer to family and I know how much you love Ventura. I know Rich and I really enjoyed our visit there. Best of luck in you're move. P.S. I'm a horrible blog checker so I'm glad you emailed the info to check your blog or I would have been totally clueless!
We'll miss you and your family, Jodi, but it sounds like a great opportunity for you. Keep up your blog, so we can keep tabs on all the fun things you do. Your kids are welcome in my home of babysitters if you need your hands free while you pack. Call me and we will set something up. Love,
Jen Miller
Congratulations on the new chapter in your family's life! Moving is a hard choice to make but I think it will be very exciting to raise your kids where your roots are from! We will definitely miss you at Bunco! Best wishes to you & your family! =)
Hey, that's good news (for us) because if you're staying with your parents then you'll be our ward! I have no advice for preschools, sorry. We're not there yet.
-Susanna
i am so stuck between being sad and super happy for you. I really love you jodi, so i guess i really am happy for you.
congratulations guys! I'm so excited for you! What a great place to raise your family! I guess next time we come visit, we will come to Ventura!
I am sorry you are leaving so many wonderful friends behind, but they will always be your friends. And now you can meet many more wonderful people who will love you and become friends. Mom and I are so excited to have you all here. And will do our best to help with this relocation. This is an opportunity for our family to work together to accomplish our dreams. We are looking forward to having you all here.
love Dad
