Yes this announcement is a little late but we wanted to fill in all the details. Mike is graduating this April in Manufacturing Engineering Technology ('finally' he says) and we have accepted a job with Honeywell. Mike will be working on aerospace manufacturing projects. He is really excited about the work and thinks that he is going to enjoy it. I am excited (and a little scared) about the move. I am excited and grateful because we both feel that it was the right decision, the job seems to suit Mike, it is a great offer with benefits (I have lots of cavities) and we get to stay in the west. But I feel scared because I have gotten so comfortable in my apartment, with my neighbors and I rarely get lost in Utah Valley anymore! I know, it'll be fine. I actually lived about 1 1/2 hours north of Phoenix from about age 2 to 4. All I really remember about Phoenix is that once a month we went to Phoenix to make a commissary run and that it was HOT. My mom says that it was always about 20 degrees hotter there. A friend of mine shared that she had been to Mesa on the 4th of July and that in the shade it was 118 degrees! Luckily I like heat - but frying alive I'm not too sure about. I think we'll be swimming a lot. 
Right now we are concentrating on where to live. Mike will work the 1st 6 months in Deer Valley (North/Central Phoenix) and then he'll work in Tempe (just east of Phoenix). So far we think we would like to live in the East Valley.
If you ask Annabelle about the move she'll inform you that we are moving to Arizona and there will be a big swimming pool, and snakes and dogs. Hopefully the animals won't be in the pool!
Please share if you have any suggestions! We'd love a second opinion.

That's such great news. Hooray for good jobs and dental care :)
So you picked Phoenix! That's exciting! Don't worry about leaving the comfort of good ol' Provo--you'll make friends so fast (and it sounds like one of them will be the dentist!)
Yahoo! SO it is definelty official... I love the picture of the sunset, looks like you guys are moving to quite the place! What craziness that we are finally to that next stage in life. feels good and a little scary huh?
Congratulations! I'm glad you are going to be staying in the West. That is great news. My suggestion is sunscreen and a misting fan - sorry, can't help you out on the location.
Well good I am glad you are close enough for us to visit (don't expect us between April and September). I am sure you will be welcomed with open arms to wherever you move you guys are so cute! I am very excited for you! If I ever have a business trip to chandler I will have to make time to say hi! Love ya!
I am very excited for you. It has to be such a relief to know where you are going to be after college ends. I have never lived there, so I don't really have any advice, except live close to a pool. And I just moved recently too ya know - and it is hard at first, but just find someone you can ask a bunch of questions to who is in your ward or something, and you will be glad you did. You can just call them when you need to know who a good pediatrician is, or where the cheapest gas station is - kinda a joke - but seriously...that info may come in handy.
Awe... I'm excited for you! But I'm sad your leaving! You'll have to keep an update on your blog for sure!
