News for yous!

Life just keeps getting better. :)

This last Monday I took the kids and we headed to Utah to visit my family.  My little sister just had her baby (my first niece!!) and I was excited to see her.  It was a great week!  The drive to and from Utah, not so great. 

Monday we started out at 9 am and between the bathroom stops and other craziness it took us till 7pm to get to Utah.  Too long!  Ian had to go potty many times, there was a HUGE crash in Frisco (stand still traffic) and it was just plain a long day.  On top of that, Trey was teething (two top teeth) and it was bad.  He's been upset and hurting all week.  (Poor kid, I wish I could make him feel better.) 

On the way home I stopped at a rest stop for a quick potty break and lunch and I locked the keys in the car with Kenya in the car, in her seat.  We were in the middle of nowhere, but thankfully right as I locked the keys in the car, I saw a State Trooper leaving the rest stop.  I was able to get him back to help.  45 minutes later we were back on the road.  Luckily the rest of the day was uneventful and we got home safe and sound. 

In other news, we put the house up for sale on Tuesday and got our first offer on Wednesday.  We accepted it and shortly after we received another offer with two more interested in offering.  We've had people in and out of our house constantly for the last few days, but hopefully that will end soon. :)  I'm amazed and grateful that we've had such luck so far. 

So here's the plan.  Brian has to start work in Cali on May 7th.  The house is gonna close two weeks later and the kids and I are headed to my sister, Elena's house.  She's gonna let us live there till we close on our house in Cali (the one we are hoping to find next week while out in Cali looking at houses).  Brian also finishes his Master's and Graduates the first week of May and Ian finishes Pre-school the second week of May.  Brian and I will also celebrate our 6th year of marriage on May 5th!  Life is busy! 

My hope is that by the end of August we are in our new house, settled, and Ian is in a good kindergarten.  Life may actually slow down a bit, but it may not.  

Busy Life

Life keeps throwing me curve balls.  Just when I think I'm settling into a great routine, things get all wonky again. 

A few months back Brian applied for a job in Palmdale, California without really thinking it would go anywhere.  It turned out that the manager there (someone he's met and worked with) was very interested to get him on their team, so we're off and running again.  Brian's been offered the job in Palmdale, CA and he'll be starting on May 7th.  So, that being said, we are now looking at selling our house and heading out farther west.  Who knows how long I'll be in Colorado getting things settle before I head out and meet up with Brian, but hopefully it won't be too long.

In other news, Trey is now crawling.  He's all over things and into everything!  He's such a cutie and Ian and Kenya love crawling around after Trey.  The three of them have lots of fun together. 

I'm headed out to Utah next week (during Spring Break) to visit my new niece!  I'm so excited to have a niece on my side of the family and so happy for my sister!  From the pictures my little niece looks like a beauty and I can't wait to meet her. 

I know it's not much, but that the focus of our lives right now.  I'll keep ya posted on our crazy move.
