Should we move back??

Sarah and Jack are home from Hawaii and it's so good to be back together again! We all missed eachother but it honeslty was SO good to be able to spend some one-on-one time with both kids. I feel like Sunny and I are finally best buddies :) In this episode, we go through our thoughts about leaving Hawaii a year ago and how it's been here in Utah. We honestly really miss it there... and now we're not sure what we're going to do.

We love you guys!

Think about your life in seasons. This is the season to be closer to your family and conveniences. As your kids (and parents) get older, you'll find it might be a better season for you to move back. But for now, embrace your present and love where you are. Gratitude is key! You are very blessed!

[Elizagrace]

I agree with those who advise you should stay close to family in Utah. The reasons you chose to move to Utah were valid and good. The challenges with Derik's surgeries have prevented you from settling in and having stability in your new environment. You may not even realize it. Hang in there and allow yourselves and the kids some steadiness in your new home. Give it some time. Pray about it. GOD bless you!

Remember the crime and thefts. It has not gone away. Take vacations. Stay. Your children need the experience of their grandparents. And the lessons, love and experiences only grandparents can provide.

If I was you I would not move back right now.
You build a beautiful house and have family living nearby. I hope you know what blessing it is to have all 4 grandparents around to help and make memories. My husband and I will have our first kid soon and both our dads already passed. It makes us really sad that our kids will never have a grandpa, but we are thankful for 2 wonderful grandmas.

In you case I would stay in Utah for now. I assume due to your amazing success here on yt you will be able to afford frequent visits to Hawaii. What a life you guys have, just wonderful!

Greetings from Germany!

You will never regret raising your children around family. As a mom that has grandchildren out of state…my heart breaks not being able to see them. Visiting friends can be your adventure and something to look forward to. Family first!

[montieverett]

If you go back be aware that it will be different. People change. Not that you can’t be close, but things never stay the same.

This is time for you to be near your family and for your children to have the memories of grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins. Remember, they won’t be here forever. If you miss the early years, you missed it all.

[dollyhartley]

Personally, I’m a grandma, having family near as we get older is good memories for the grandkids. I still remember things I did with my grandpa and grandma that I cherish. Just a thought. Love to watch your channel.

[surfergirl]

As a kid who went between the mainland and Oahu my entire life - I appreciated being able
To do both.
But family is important to be around. I got to experience best of both worlds .

[gaylacrisler]

I’m so glad you decided to give it some time before moving to Hawaii. You have truly been super busy doing nothing but healing and keeping the kids happy. Sarah has been awesome with the heavy load of caring for a debilitated husband and two wild kids, while Derick has been struggling to be happy while being laid up. Take it easy and enjoy Utah when you’re healed and ready to help.

[bobbiemooser]

You don’t need to keep moving. You just haven’t really settled in with so much going on. Get involved with your community. Get your children involved. Find your purpose for where you are at. I think moving back would be too tempting for Derek to do things that would injure himself again. Love you❤❤❤on rainy days get into crafts, paint, music, games, etc.teach the kids to read, dance, etc. Have some fun!

[ps]

If your family lives close to you now, those are the memories your children need. You can always visit Hawaii to build those memories.i think your children if older would agree, family means the most. ❤❤❤

Surprised your considering moving back to Hawaii already after you just moved into the house you had built. The nature in Utah is just as amazing and beautiful. There's some gorgeous national parks in Utah you need to take your kids to explore. Both of your families are in Utah and your kid's need to grow up knowing and having and developing relationships with their grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins. There's more opportunities for all of you in the states you can visit Hawaii when you want.

Y'all are doing great!! The kids and healthy happy and having a ball. Enjoy this time, Hawaii is amazing, and if I lived there I seriously don't think I could ever leave, but being close to your family especially now while the kids are young, giving them this time to build core memories with the grandparents and extended family is precious.

1. Listen only to Yourselves!
2. Do what You want! Separately and together as a couple 💞
3. Couples Need time apart so props to you both for giving each other space!

[dawnanderson]

Because of my husband’s job we had to live most of our lives far away from our families. We visited twice a year, but nothing ever replaces being close by. My husband’s parents are no longer living and my dad passed away. We’ve lost aunts, uncles, cousins and brothers in law. Time with family is more precious than gold. You never know how long you have and making memories with those you love is so important. Please consider this when making your decision.

[carolynturk-huje]

I am truly so sorry for your dilemma! Having to live in that lovely home that you had custom built, having to be near family, enduring the lovely four seasons, maybe planting a garden with the kids this spring, having top notch medical services for the entire family near by, not to mention saving for the best of both worlds....a vacation home in Hawaii that could be income property when you are not there!?😊❤ P.S. Plenty of "keeping up with the Jones' in Hawaii, new surf boards, new electronic bikes, going away from the Island to other places, etc.

[marcusfernandez]

To be honest, I don't think you should move back. I think being that you all love Hawaii so much, you'll should invest in or buy a home in Hawaii as a vacation home. Being you still have really good friends in Hawaii, while you're not there they can maintain or check up on your house. While you're not in Hawaii, you can use it as an Airbnb. Just my opinion, but I think this is something You, Sarah, Lo, and Tanner should consider.

You can still visit Hawaii as a family during the summer months and come back to Utah. Utah should be your home base though, especially since Hawaii is so unpredictable!

[kitsmith]

Maybe for now while Jack and Sunny are so small you should stay close to family so they can help as they did this time when you left Derik and Sunny and Derik's mom and dad helped. Later when Jack and Sunny are a little older and they need less help, you could move again.
