Uprooting to another state can be tough for anyone, but the more roots the family posses, the harder the moving process becomes.

Debra Hall, 46, and her husband Donald, 47, moved from Snowflake, Ariz., to Grantsville in June of 2005. They brought six of their seven children with them, 21-year-old Tanner, 18-year-old Kimber, 16-year-old Courtney, 14-year-old Lyndee, 11-year-old Aubree and nine-year-old Coulter. Debra and Donald’s oldest daughter, Stacie, is married and stayed in Arizona.

While her husband is busy working for the State Department of Environmental Quality, Hall is busy being involved in the lives of her children. Hall enjoys the homemaker life, and says that running her children around to dance lessons is the activity that takes up most of her time.

“I only get my kids for a few years, and while they’re here we keep them busy,” said Hall. She tries to stay involved in all of her children’s activities, including her oldest son’s wedding two weeks ago.

Although the move was hard on the family the first year, the Hall’s have concluded that the move to Grantsville was a good one.

“We’ve been treated so kindly and warmly by everyone, it’s been a really neat experience,” said Hall.

Despite the fact that the Hall family has enjoyed their move, Hall misses what would seem like a minor factor to many people.

“I miss the big library!” said Hall.

Overall, Hall thinks that the move has been a successful one for her family.

“They’ve really adjusted well,” she said.
