Homeward Bound
Many of you slightly older than Generation Y, yes, you who are fondly referred to as Generation X, probably remember this classic feel-good flick: Homeward Bound
Fewer of you will probably remember, (or care to admit that you actually saw it), that there was a sequel made: Homeward Bound 2: Lost in San Francisco
Also known as, "Our pets are stupid...but as owners, we take the cake."All this waxing nostalgia, coalesces with the excitement and down-right giddiness that I feel as I make the following announcement:
That's right...this is not a drill...this is not a visit. I am moving back to Utah and I couldn't be more thrilled. (I don't know how Governor Huntsman feels about it all, but I am sure he is happy to have another registered voter, even during his pandering to the elementary school crowd)
Another huge aspect of my Limbo-esque state that I wrote of last week, was due in part to my waiting to hear on a job I had interviewed for with a company in Provo. It is the same company that my brother works for, but I won't be making ladders.
No, my difficult assignment will be to travel the world 
visiting oil rigs 
and making sure their computer networks and communications are copacetic. 
Now some people might question why I would ever want to get out of the Network Marketing world.
Or trade living in Orange County California 
for the glorious city of Provo. 
However, Utah, 
is my home. That is where my family is, (other than a small off-shoot who are making their way in Spokane, WA).
I am excited to be coming home. I am moving up over Labor day weekend...and as soon as I am settled in, there will be movie nights...oh yes Mark, there WILL be movie nights.

BOOYAH! We'll movie it up like it's 2010!
Welcome back... soon!
Congrats on the job, and the decrease in limbo-ness.
That is AWESOME!! I'm sure I'll probably still see you about once a year, but hey...ya never know, right?!! WELCOME BACK!!
Ha ha... ladders... I thought that too for a while.
WOOHOO!!! I am so happy for you! There is no place like home. The only thing that would make your news better would be if you were moving to Salt Lake County :)
Ladders...LOL! Really what does Noah do?
I'm SOOO happy for you! I'm glad you'll be a little closer to us. I hope that you enjoy the traveling. Love You!
That's awesome Zach! Congrats on your new job. Have fun laboring over Labor day.
sooo... which of the "homeward bound" critters are you, then?
Right on! That is awesome news!
I am so excited Zach I can't wait!-Gabe
Congrats!
But now who will go to dinner with my hubby when he gets shipped off to Cali on a business trip?
I hope you like your new job though! Let us know if you're ever traveling in our neighborhood!
Backpacking? Camping? Running around naked? All those plus movie nights!! Its a great day to be alive.
Yay! It will be fun to have you back here!
Yeah! It will be good to have you back!
Perfect, I've got a girl I want to set you up with.......ha ha just kidding. Really, I'm kidding-I wouldn't do that to you.
Welcome home!
YEAH!!!!! I am excited that you will be closer, and we probably still won't see you much!!! LOL, just kidding... We can't wait to see you!!!!
Yay! Yay! I don't even live in Utah and I'm super-excited for this new move. I figure as I visit Utah about once every six months (give or take a few), I'll probably see you at least once a year, but possibly more. I gotta get my fill of you when I can.
ha ha ha I love the pics here. Congrats on the move.
All I can say is, "YEA!"
When will the "Welcome Back Zach" BBQ be?
Wow, You're coming back to where you belong. I also think you should have added the song by Simon and Garfunkel song entitled "Homeward Bound" It would be fitting don't you think? Well I have to say is.... Welcome back to the Beehive state.
Yay!!! You know you have a standing dinner date at our house - we just got back, too and look forward to seeing you. Let us know when you're in and settled!
Since everyone else is saying Yea! I'm going to pipe in with a Sucker! You are moving BACK to Utah? What is wrong with you? ;).
Running around naked Craig? I missed part of that story.....
Anyway, I won't be joining in. But I LOVE movie nights!

P.S. of course I will be happily joining in on the clothed movie nights... I realized afterwards that that post could have meant nakedness or movie nights.... I will be skipping the nudists' marathons....

Now where the heck am I going to go when I need a weekend break...you can have naked movie nights in my new theater room...projector has been purchased!!!
Yeah for Provo!!!!
Holy comments! Congrats Zach! CAn't wait to see that face of yours a little more often!
Now that you will be back in Utah are up for a blind date?....
Welcome home!
Zach, I love your blog. Sorry I don't comment more. You've been in my prayers through surgery and I'm thrilled to have you in Utah again! I'd sure love to see you and have you meet my family. If you ever find yourself in SLC please let me know! I sure wish you all the best. You deserve it more than anyone I know!
