Home of the grizzly bear, Sarah Palin, the midnight sun, and now the Hymas'! Yes, we are moving! David got an incredible job opportunity that's going to allow him more time with us and more time to do the things he loves. We are thrilled with that. We are not thrilled to be saying good-bye to our friends here who have become our family away from family. We are not thrilled to be moving so far away from our actual family. It has been one of the hardest decisions we've had to make.
So for those of you wondering, here is our plan: We will move all our stuff next week. Me and the kids will then go to Disneyland to soften the blow. We will spend three weeks with family in Utah. Then we will drive for 10 days to get to our new home. It takes 53 hours from Utah to get there. We will try not to kill each other. :)

WOW! I know Dave is going to love this move, how about you? The great thing about you is that you know how to make the best out of ANY situation! You will love Alaska because thats who you are :) Keep blogging so we can share in your great adventures. Let's try to get together when you are in UTAH...a little Whiting reunion. Good luck to you!
I'm glad to see a bunch of posts! I'm so sad you're moving! I'm so happy you got to use your much deserved massage! This blog is going to start meaning a whole lot more when we don't actually see you all the time!
Back to Alaska, wow. I'm excited, yet sad for you at the same time. If you have a few minutes while in Utah i'd LOVE to see you before you go. I don't live far from your parents so I could come up to see you. I'll email you my phone numbers and if you have a chance, call me. good luck on your new adventures.
WHAT!?!?! That was the last thing I expected to see on here Mindy!! It will be so wonderful to have David home more, though. Good luck with the move and we can't wait to see how life is for you guys up there! It will be wierd not seeing Adri, Kyla and Owen in all your pictures!
What! I had no idea. We are going to miss you tons. Let me know if I can help with anything!
A blog post, this means it's real...
What an exciting adventure for you family and how exciting that David will actually be able to be home.
I'm so sad your leaving. I can barley think about it...
Oh no. I don't know what to say. That is so far away and I hate the snow. :( Boo Hoo.
Oh wow! I am sure you will be happy wherever you are! At least I can see you when you visit family in Utah! :)
Well we are thrilled and can't wait! Nia and Afton are counting down the days! Hopefully Ella and Karston will be good buddies to! Can't wait! If you need a place to stay let me know or just show up we have room! Mary
Boo-hoo! Who am I going to be confused with now?!
I'm so sad you all are leaving. Can you buy plane tickets right now to come back down in November and we can go see New Moon together 3 times in one weekend? :)
Sending good vibes for a quick sale on your house!
That is really exciting for your family. You seemed to love it the last go around so hopefully it will be as great this time around. It will be nice to have David more available as well. Good luck on the move. When will you be in UT till. I am getting there around 7/19 but we always seem to cross paths.
I like the "3 weeks in Utah" part. Score. I hope to see you!!! I love you sweetie, Laura
It can't be true!! Berkeley won't be the same with out you!
I'm so happy for you though and I'm glad you update your blog so often so we can keep in touch and watch your kids grow up! Karsten was one of McCords very first friends, we'll always love him and your entire family!!
Good luck with your new adventure!
I can't believe you're really leaving all of us here! How sad! What will we do without the Hymas fam???
Well, you will surely be missed Mindy!! And how exciting that your adventure will continue in Alaska with David at home more than he is now.
I'm excited to keep in touch with you on your blog and to see your big Alaskan adventure play out. We will miss you!!!
OMG!!!!! Alaska.....Wow, you are an amazing wife! I would say,, let me stay here in CA... LOL. Well best of luck
I can't even talk (or type!) :(
I love you guys! See you soon!
WHAT!!?? You're moving? I'm so sad to hear this. You have been such a great friend...arigato! I am really excited for you guys though. I know how much you love Alaska. When is this all going down? I hope you're not moving before I get back to Berkeley. We miss you guys!
Give us a call if you get time while you're here. We'd love to catch up over dinner!
WOW.... WOW....your amazing.. thats all I have, thats it.
Sounds like an adventure. Yes it is always hard to leave friends behind and move farther away from loved ones. I have done this many times, but have always been grateful for the new opportunities that present themselves.
You will love it. And this time we need to come visit you guys for sure!!!
