We are here!

Well, it’s official! We are here! 

  
We are now settled into our temporary place and I had my first day of work at my new office. It was a great day and I do think that overall (maybe with some hard days) this is going to be a great opportunity. Here is my new cubicle and great view!   

  

 
Blaine has been doing web-based training these last 2 weeks and will start his first official day tomorrow. He will be able to start using all the knowledge he has gained in the last couple weeks. Hopefully his day goes just as great! Today while he was home, he made sure to take care of his number one concern… Joining a gym! 😉

New Year’s Eve

Today is a day to reflect on the year we are leaving behind in hopes for great things in the year ahead. 

This year, year 2016, I will:

• Be more physically active
• Make Arizonan friends
• BE THANKFUL for this great life I have been given
• Go to church on Sunday’s (not all, but more often) 
• Explore the city we will live in and the other fun areas of the state
• Pray and trust in God’s plan for us to have a family. 

I hope you all have plans for a great year ahead as well! Happy New Year!

Well, we have 4 days to go! I have started packing up all the things we need to take to our temporary apartment……including the necessary items 😉

 

As of yesterday we were all set to pack up and move out of the house next week and close on our house on 1/13 and then close on the Scottsdale house on 1/27. Today I was working from home so that we could have the moving company assess the weight of all our belongings and then had the appraiser coming to complete the final thing to be done on our house before the contract moved forward…….well I got a call from our CA agent and our buyers backed out on the sale of our home.

Honestly, I don’t even have the energy to be upset. Part of me is glad that they aren’t getting this house. This house deserves people who are going to love and care for it the way we have, not shady people who don’t even have a down payment……

The other part I was worried about, was losing the Scottsdale house. However, they are actually glad that we aren’t closing on our house yet, because they were having a hard time finding some where to move. So…..we will go back to the original contract/plan of getting a buyer by February and closing in March. I know it all will work out the way its supposed to, it is just crazy in the meantime.

I am proud of myself that I didn’t lose it today. That is how I know that this move is exactly the right move for us and even though things are chaotic right now it will all fall together…..I may need to be reminded of this when I am missing California and all of you!
