Our BIG announcement???


So what do you think it might be?



Any guesses???


The Wilson's are moving back to UTAH!!! 

Yes it is true.  Shannon's company that he was previously working for in SLC has called him a number of times since we have moved to Oklahoma.  He wasn't interested in pursuing their interest but after about the 4th time of them checking in with him we decided that he should see what the oppurtunity would be.  In the end as we have fasted and prayed and included our children in this decision, we all know that we are to go HOME.  This has been one of the toughest decisions. A roller coaster of emotions.  I am so thankful for the power of prayer and to know that we can be guided in these BIG decisions.  I am thankful for these experiences that Shannon and I can go through "together".  Even though it adds a stress to the marriage it some how brings us closer.  I realize how much I need him and how thankful I am for him. I see the importance of communication and listening and being ONE. Now  this Journey in Oklahoma has to come to an end.  My emotions have been at the surface.  I have had no appetite and a hard time sleeping. I will miss my friends.  I will miss the trees.  I will miss the fire flies. Today I was released from my calling as Relief Society President.  (The Relief Society is an organization in our church for the women.)  I have truly enjoyed this experience and love these SISTERS.  I really wasn't prepared for the emotion that I felt as I knew that I was going to be released.  I couldn't control the tears.  So many of these women have touched me and have made me want to be better.  I am so thankful for their influence and just hope that I can take their attributes and make a difference.  Just as they have made a difference in my life. As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week I will forever be thankful for my OKLAHOMA SISTERS! 
For those of you out West...  we are so excited to see you.  We have missed  you! We are coming home.  See you in just a few weeks...
