Moving to Missouri!


For those of you who don't see me daily, or talk with me often this may come as a surprise to you, but....we're moving to Missouri! For those of you who see me all the time this is expected. (moving to Hawaii, or Idaho, or Arizona, or....) We've been looking at places to live for the last 2 or 3 years. All I know is that I need to get out of Denver. Don't really know why! After living here almost 15 years I just feel it's time to move on. I am an adventurer at heart and love traveling. If I was still single I would have moved years ago, or never settled in one place for more than a year or two in the first place. But, when you have kids your world revolves around them and stability. I've lived in the same house for 10 years now. Did the stability thing!

Matt got a job in Springfield MO and is moving this week. We're listing the house and following as soon as possible. There is sooooo much to do to get a house ready for sale, especially after living in it for 10 years with kids and dogs. I'm a little overwhelmed as Matt will be gone and I'll be in charge of listing and selling the house. Somehow we'll all make it through! I just hope and pray that it sells quickly.

What an exciting time! I'll keep you up to date on my fixing and installing the new sink, painting the fence etc. You will be entertained I'm sure!

At Newport Beach













More Pictures!













A TON of pictures!

Grandma Margaret and Carlie Carlie after getting her face painted at the Princess area of Disneyland
Carlie and Alex. Alex was AWESOME! She carried Carlie around like a champ for me! Carlie was mostly in someone's arms the whole trip. Believe it or not my back felt BETTER after the whole trip. Maybe that's a sign that I should quit work and carry Carlie around all day?????

Matt and Alex at Newport Beach. We saw a baby seal looking for it's family come right up on the beach. So cute! My mom and I looked at each other and at the same time said "shark bait". Too bad, but probably true. Cutest little seal though!Cutie Alex!
