The Sign goes Up

Wow, it may have been a shocker to some family and friends to learn of our new adventure, but not to everyone!  For as long as my husband Ryan has worked for my brother Dana we have known this moment was coming.  Ryan works for the company Web Design Solutions, a massively growing and extremely successful web development company, which is located in San Diego.  We have delayed the move for as long as possible, and it is a necessity that Ryan be in office, and that office just so happens to be across the country!  Wooo hooo.  Its fun, its scary, its exciting, its sad, but ultimately its exactly what God wants for our life.  I don't know that I have ever felt a stronger feeling about something which is to come! 

With fingers crossed, and praying for Gods timing we are hoping the move takes place over the summer!  Our oldest daughter Rowan was apprehensive at first, but now is embracing the idea.  Kierce, our daughter who is placed in the middle of her siblings was ready to move the instant we told her!  She can't wait till the time comes.  Merrick our only son and youngest of the crew randomly asks me if today is the day we are moving.  He is also excited for our new quest.  It brings me joy to see the thrill in their eyes, and I feel its my job to keep that thrill there amongst all of the unknowns.

As we are very sad to leave our dearest family and friends here, we are also excited to live near other family.  As you can imagine, my brother and his family live in San Diego.  Dana and Brooke have just given birth to their new baby girl (my niece) Eva.  The kids are excited to meet her for the first time, and create bonds with their Aunt Brooke and Uncle Dana.  I also have two cousins, Lori and Steph who live in San Diego and are ready to welcome us with open arms.  It is also ironic that Ryan's cousin Jessie just moved for a great job opportunity to Los Angeles.  We are looking forward to the opportunity to strengthen these relationships!  

With all of the emotional ups and downs we are experiencing as well as our family and friends, its important for me to look at this new experience with wonder and curiosity of the freshness which lies ahead!  How many lives do we get???  Some may say 9, but I say 1!  We are going to live this life to the utmost, I can assure you of that!
