After some MAJOR soul searching, lots of prayers, buckets of tears, and heartache that brought me to my knees, I have decided to stay in Texas. I know this decision is what is best for Autumn and I. There were so many factors to consider, and I think moving to Utah would have been the most fun and enjoyable for me. It would have been great to be around friends and a job that I adore. But, once again I've been faced with a hard decision and I feel like I've made the harder but better choice. Not to make it sound like my life here in Texas is horrible, b/c it's not at all. Autumn and I are so incredibly blessed to have all the love and support that we do here.
I also can't thank everyone enough for their love and support and advice. It's so nice to hear other people's perspectives and I appreciated every one's input so much. It helped me more than y'all will ever know. I feel like I am closing a major chapter in my life, which has been so painful to do. I have shed so many tears and had my heart broken all over again, but hopefully now I can gather the broken pieces and start putting them back together. In the meantime, I'm hoping and praying that Heavenly Father has great and wonderful things in store for me and Autumn in the future.
I look back at all of the things that have happened to me in the past 2 years and marvel at all the change and growth that has occurred. I have seen so many flaws and weaknesses in myself. But, I have also seen strength and courage within myself that I didn't know I had. I've learned so many lessons along the way and just pray that I remember them and learn from them and use them to make my future better. Again, thank you to everyone who has expressed their love and support and helped me through this.

OMG! I have been so busy, I missed everything. I caught up with everything and YOU ABSOLUTELY MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.
I know it was a hrd decision but the fact that you made this one shows how much you have grown stronger.
You are such a great person and Autumn is lucky to have you. Please don't ever let Jason influence you. You have been doing the right thing from the begininng. And even then you had so much courage to leave.
In short you are awesome! Now go do something nice for yourself, like a massage, and relax because you made the best decision:)

I am happy you are staying in Texas...even though we havent even been up to Dallas!
DANG!!!
Texas is REALLY far from Idaho. But I agree that it is probably for the best.
OK - I am going to say something really really cheesy now.
Do you know what my favorite part of the gospel is? The absolute and pure knowledge I have that Heavenly Father knows exactly who I am and what I need.
When HE helps you make righteous decisions HE always manages to prove their correctness in ways that completely amaze me and let me know that HE knows ME.
I LOVE IT.
Good Luck.
