mooooving on.

Lets spell this out.
On a whim a few months back
Paul applied for a job at Palo Verde.
A nuclear power plant outside of Phoenix.
He interviewed.
Got an offer.
And after much thought, debate, mulling over, prayer, worrying, etc
we decided to take it.

He will do the same thing he does now.
In fact, his schedule doesn't even change.
But we will be a 6 hour drive from home.
And that is
HUGE!

My kids can ride horses on the weekends.
Go to Grandpa Steves basketball games.
Ride bikes all year round.
Eat at In n Out.
Drink diet Coke with the Aunts.
Go shooting with the Uncles.
Chase lizards.
Run a muck with cousins.
Spend time with Great Grandmas and Grandpa.
etc.

We move at the end of the month.
I cant believe it.
I can believe it.
Im excited.
Im sad.

We found a great home in a great community to rent.
Until our house here sells.
(cross your fingers for us)
We are hopeful.
And looking forward to it all...

Plus I will have a Hobby Lobby and Target 6 minutes away.
oh ya.
