It's been officially 6 months since the Gibbs moved to Utah,.... Yes Leah & I have been out there and Ben & Danielle have been here twice... but it's just not enough. Especially not for almost 3 and a 4 year old.
Abbey and Amelia come up in conversations daily, we have a conversation at least 1 a week about how long it takes to get to Utah either by plane (1 long day) or by car (4 long days) ... they are always talking about how we are going to go out there after the baby comes (due in march) and who Ethan thinks should be named Millie and Leah thinks it should be Hannah. Leah has also solved our housing dilema and says that when we move out of this house to find a bigger one, we can buy one down the street from Abbey's new house. There are LOTS of big houses out there by the BIG mountains!
I think it's amazing that even though it's been months since they've played together (Ethan hasn't seen them since they moved) they still talk about each other all the time. I know they seal families in the temple... but do they seal friendships too?
I think GOD knew that our families were meant to be together for all eternity and so we've been sealed/baptised through Kool-aid, snotty noses, lots of laughter, and just as many tears, and our strong faith and trust in each other... or the fact that we know WAY too much about the other to ever let the other get to far away.... for fear that we'd sell the rights to the others story and become a Lifetime Original Movie! ( I think Patrick Dempsey would make a great Ben)
We know adjusting to Utah hasn't been so easy at times, it hasnt been easy getting use to you being gone either! I'm still trying to find Ben a job back here in Ohio! There's been more than just a few days that I've wished I could just walk across the street and find 4 of my most favorite people in the world.... But we also know that everything happens for a reason and We are trusting that The Big Guy knows what he's doing!
For now we'll just keep planing trips to Utah and keep coming up with reasons for you to come back to Ohio!
We Miss you like crazy

Oh my gosh! We miss you too. Just today I put an old (but not used) Target brand diaper on Amelia and she said, "these are baby boys diapers!" The love is in the little things. Our two year olds even remember what kinds of diapers the other had....
