Sappingtons are on the move!

“Coincidental" ….  defined as happening or existing at the same time. 

 After many years of family members staying put, we have possibly set some kind of record with 8 Sappington family members moving – some a few blocks while others are going to new addresses several states away!

Kaytee, Josh, Adyn, Skylar and Thoryn have purchased a ramshackle house on 5 acres of prime real estate in Opportunity, a quiet suburb of beautiful, downtown Anaconda, MT.  The minute escrow closed, the entire Postma family – including Josh’s father Mark – descended on the property tearing down old structures, uprooting shrubs and trees and laying out the footprint for their big new home.

 

Whitney and Alex have decided, since they both work digitally, they can work anywhere, they are going to move to Maine where they believe they can find a bigger house for less money!

 

Stacy and Rick have decided to split … again!  She is living in the trailer in Gunlock until they sort everything out.  We love Rick, so we hope they can find a way to resolve their problems, so stay tuned for more details as they unfold.

 

Kris’s son Zach and his girlfriend Danielle are moving from Pennsylvania to Texas to be closer to her family, and where they will be getting married. 

Our sister-in-law Charlene has recently sold out in Coarsegold, CA and is now settling into a new home in Sun City, AZ.  She will soon be joined in AZ by  her son Tyson and daughter-in-law Tanya who are moving to Phoenix. 

 

David and Jan’L moved back from Denver to St. George last year.  Their oldest son Kaler, is back in Rexburg, Idaho where he is a fulltime student at BYU-Idaho but is applying to BYU-Provo as well as Utah Valley University to finish his degree.

 

Our niece Tiffany, her husband Bob and 5 of their 8 kids are settling into an enormous house on 40 acres in Friant, California where their wild and crazy crew can romp and play in total freedom.  I think a family reunion on their "resort" property is in the immediate future. 

 

Selwin and Brianna, Ayah and Zion have bought a home near the St. George Airport after 4 years living with her family while he got his education – including an MBA – behind him.

 

At church on Sunday, two families announced they are moving ... one to northern Utah and the other to Hurricane ... and on Sunday afternoon, I got an email from one of my favorite Rotarians announcing he and his wife are moving from SLC to Florida! 

Lots of changes in our large family.  Could COVID be to blame for all of this motion?
