We arrived

Well this entry is way over due, but we arrived late late into the night.

On Wednesday after getting everything organized, we looked at our bags, our stuff and realized we did not have enough bags to carry everything we decided to bring to California. So as I went to the doctor I stopped by Target to get some luggage. I was hoping to find some that was both cheap and big enough to carry everything. Not finding anything I was too happy with I went on to the doctor. As I was driving home I stopped at Ross and looked but they didn't have anything either. Running out of time as I needed to pick up the family and then drive out to met my Grandfather's fiance, I rushed home hoping I was not too late.

On our way to dinner after we loaded everyone up in the car and got on our way to meet my grandfather's fiance we all walked into Target and between Chelsea and I we decided on some luggage.

When we got home on Wednesday we packed everything and realized we were bringing to many things to California. We had packed everything for our trip over to EA and then decided to bring it all to CA with us. We realized at about Midnight how silly we were to bring all of this and decided to repack it all. We woke up Thursday with several bags to bring to our friends house to store until we picked them up in September.

When we finally got ready we had it all packed, weighed and then loaded up our car with the kids. Our luggage in the friends cars who were driving us to the airport and we were finally all ready to go. Once on the plane we thought the kids would be asleep but they decided they would stay awake. Hannah eventually fell asleep near the end of the flight, while Joshua was calm at the beginning and being wide awake and rowdy at then end.

When we landed and my parents picked us we loaded up the cars, after about an hour of waiting for the bags and getting the car, we were on our way to my parents house. We finally pulled in at about 2 am. We put the kids down and finally got to bed around 3:30 am. Didn't matter how tired we were the kids still decided to get up at 7:00 am.

At the Beach

We had a picnic at the beach with some friends. David has this knack for getting buried in the sand by strange children. This happens virtually every time we go to the beach. He is very good with them and they warm to him immediately! 6-14-07-1726-14-07-215For those of you who know David, you know how active he is. I had him as my captive audience for this activity!6-14-07-2506-14-07-257

So Happy Fourth of July to you all. We are thankful for our freedoms!

House for water

Funny things happen when you start talking to random people. About 2 weeks ago Chelsea was talking to a friend who was asking how we were doing and how the job transition was going. Chelsea mentioned the gap between our jobs and that along with the gap we would be without housing and income . This nice friend mentioned that she was going back to Australia for a wedding and that we could stay at her house for the month of July. We were silently so thankful and internally we were wondering what the catch was.

The next week we went to look at this house and while Chelsea was amazed at her decorating we both really like the house. When asked what they needed from us, it was "Well you could water my plants." The house has a wonderful small green house attached and so we have housing for the month of July for water.

We are still figuring out when we will move and what that will entail stay tuned for more details.

First Update

Well the page has not changed a look but we have added several new pages and features. One such is this Blog which has a RSS feed that we will update when there is an update to the site. We will also update this Blog with information regarding us when there is something new as well.

Nothing new to report other than in April we will be in VA to meet and have a large interview for our possible new job. After the interview we will wait and find out for sure on the job around July.

Kids are well and so are we. If you look under David's Mind you will see some information about a recent "Transformation."
