Happy Summer! We are enjoying the warm, green and beautiful summer in Colorado Springs. There have been many thunder storms lately which help things cool down a bit in our house with no Air Conditioning. We have been busy painting ALL the brown trim in our house, making it white. This is a HUGE, and semingly never-ending project! Over the 4th of July we went camping at the Rocky Mountain National park area. We explored Grand Lake and the beautiful park.
We just returned from a short trip to California where we explored the options for moving there. After a LOT of prayer and consideration we decided to take advantage of the opportunities presented to us and make the move to California. We will be leaving the Springs on August 10th, and our townhome will go on the market at the end of July. Jen's parents are letting us use their 5th wheel trailer for a while until the house sells. Our friends in Vacaville, have graciously allowed us to use a piece of their property to put our trailer. (Vacaville is 30-40min west of Sacramento)
We are excited about this new adventure and we are actually looking forward to trailer life, as we know we will have a great story to tell our kids. Jen will be working as an office manager for her brother, Bill in his new Allstate office. Scott is still following up with two different Honda dealerships, as they may have openings in the next few weeks for technician positions. We are greatly encouraged by the people we have met in the Vacaville area, and we are excited about possibly being part of a great church there as well.
It is a HUGE move for us, but we know that in the long run it will be well worth it. We desire to be closer to one side of the family, and it has been an extreemely hard decision to decide between moving to Michigan or California. We know that we will have more opportunities to travel to Michigan when we live in California, and we look forward to spending more time with both sides of the family then we would if we stayed in Colorado. The hardest part is leaving Colorado and all the great friends we have made! We will miss it greatly here!
Sorry there aren't many pictures this time...
