How we ended up in Vernal

Long story short, just shortly after Chris and I got married, Clay his old boss came to Chris and asked him about coming back to Expressway and managed his store in Vernal, we took a trip out there one day and to check it out and to see Vernal we were pretty excited about going, so a short while later we moved there. I transferred to the Vernal Checker and we moved into a town home with some pretty fun neighbors, we loved it there, but after about a 1 1/2 Chris's boss asked us to move back to Spanish fork and managed the store there, at the time we had Kylie she was a few months old we were really wanting to come back to Spanish fork so we left Vernal.
We them bought a home in Spanish fork and lived there for the next 7 years, we really loved our home, but in the back of our minds we always missed Vernal, we had a lot of fun memory's there, we had made allot of friends not that we hadn't in Spanish fork, but I think we seemed to relate more or something, anyways an opportunity came up to move back to Vernal with a different company and we took it, in 2008 we moved back, Now let me tell you allot has changed in the 7 years of being gone, the drilling boom was going bigger than before but slowed down after we got there but is better now, the city has grown like crazy, but still the small town feel, we are minutes from the mountains, plenty of places to ride our bikes, and plenty of outdoor things to do, we have really loved it hear and the kids have loved it too. One thing I have noticed about my job is, Auto parts hear are mostly ran my girls and a few men, but with the oil fields there is better money there than at the auto parts store.....
But you got to admit, where else can you go and see the dinosaur in your town.....
