Why we moved South

In August, we will have lived here for 3 years. Boy the time has flown!!!!! Three years ago, we packed up and moved South, and a lot of people thought we were crazy. Since Cam and Michelle started Fitness Ridge(used to be The Body Shop Spa), I wanted to move down here, but I didn't think John would ever move to here. But three years ago, John came to me and said he felt he needed to quit his job, and look for something else, he agreed on coming here and talking to Michelle, Cam, and their business partner Tami. I remember the day, it was 118 degrees, and I remember thinking that I would love to move here and be closer to my sister, but I wanted it to be good for John. He was coaching at American Fork,( a hobby he absolutely loved), he really enjoyed living in American Fork, and always complained about the heat when we came down here to visit. Well, after he talked with them, he was excited, and he told me he loved what they were doing, and wanted to be a part of it, so within a week, he was working for them. John has worked really hard, and he really enjoys it at Fitness Ridge. He is the person people talk to when they call and book their stay. He is able to be reached at any time, and I can't tell you how many times we have been in the car, and John has said, "Quiet!! Dad's on the phone." The kids are actually quiet, why can't I do that? Anyway, it has been a wonderful 3 years, and the last year has been so exciting since the big article in USA today(click here to read) and then the big national exposure on Biggest Loser when a weeks stay at Fitness Ridge was the prize for the challenge (click here to watch the challenge from the show). Then Michelle told me to read this article from Laura (a lady from Access Hollywood who recently came to Fitness Ridge for a week) click here to read. I finally read it today. It took me a while to read this article, because Michelle didn't make a big deal of it, that's just her personality, she is not at all bragadocious, so I will be for her.:) Her partner Tami came to her 5 years ago with an idea, they had an opportunity to start something that a lot of people would have turned away from because of fear of failure, now look what it has become, I think it is incredible. I am so proud of John, he is truly a man of integrity, and humility, he works hard, and so many times guest will tell me how kind and helpful he is. Since all this exposure, now I really don't see John, he is so so so so so busy, but I know he loves what he does, and he loves what he is selling, and believes in it. Fitness Ridge is for everyone, those who want to lose weight, get in better shape, eat better, live healthier, and do something good for their body. Ok, now I'm selling it. :) There you have it, now we will raise our family here. I love it!!!
