I hope you settle in well in Utah.
There are a few of us from BE who live in the Salt Lake City area.

Congratulations on making the decision.. Its never easy to decide to make a BIG move. Very best of luck with your new adventure! - My sister has lived in SLC (Park City) for 20 years - so if theres any help you need - please ask.. Are you moving to SLC itself?

Hi Weasy,
Congrats on the big desicion, we've just moved here recently too, I've only been in my house for a few weeks though and so far, have no complaints.

We haven't had any LDS knock on the door as yet, but that could be a fib, as I don't hear the door bell ring if I'm downstairs. Our neighbours are a mixture of people, military, civillians and LDS' and they've all been very lovely and welcoming to us, I'm sure you'll find the same.

I'm north of SLC, but not as north as Dolly....we must get together soon for another cuppa

Hope all goes well with your move...keep us updated.

I'm so jealous. I'm still looking to move back there myself. My visit at the end of April fueled it even more. I didn't manage to find a job quick enough and had to extend the lease on my current house for another six months. I can't see me making the next ski-season now as I had originally wished.

Someone is trying to tell me something though. I keep seeing SLC on the TV, Utah license plates, recently discovered a ex-colleague moved there, last week discovered another ex-colleage from the same work team as the other is thinking of moving there. It's either a prophecy, or someone is trying to piss me off.

Weasy

Thanks all of you. Oldskool, your posts really helped out a lot whilst making this decision, I hope you make it back to SLC.

Dolly and Brandon - whereabouts are you? Samba, I'm pushing for Park City but hubby isn't sure about the commute through Parleys canyon. Otherwise we're looking at Cottonwood Heights and all along that far East Bench.

Most of the canyons can be bad in the winter.
Parleys, Big Cottonwood, Little Cottonwood, and the ones further north near us.

This discussion has been fascinating, I find myself in a similar position. Hubby offered a job in Salt Lake City, we are currently researching areas and schools etc.

I would be so grateful for advice on schools in particular as the kids are my only concern really!

Hi there, this thread has been bittersweet for me as I knew Dolly personally and now she is no longer with us. I do miss that lady so much. Weasy, and here you are finally settled in. It does take time and an adjustment on the way of life but it is a beautiful place to be. Met her as well so the rest of you understand the comment. I am a resident of Sandy, a 'burb of Salt Lake City. I don't have children in school as mine are grown but can offer any info you need on most other stuff. Are you looking at public or private schools? I know some folk that send their children to an excellent private school but it does have it's price $$$$$$ ! Give me a shout if you have any questions. Pam.

PS. Hubs is from Scotland. Heading back for hols in July.

I felt exactly the same when I saw this thread resurrected earlier.

Thanks so much Pam! So sorry to hear about Dolly, I had hoped to get to know her too!
Sandy is one of the places we were recommended to look so I would love to know more about it.
We are keeping an open mind about schools as we have 4 kids but certainly if we can't find an excellent state school then they will go to private schools.
Where in Scotland will you be visiting in July?
