The Grand Canyon state... here we come!!!


Soon (VERY soon in fact!) our family of five will be trading in our beach blankets and Sea World passes for pool towels and hiking shoes!! We will become Arizonans starting next month--June 7th to be exact (and YES that's less than 3 weeks away!!) Mark has received an offer--and has now officially accepted it--from Go Daddy. We are SUPER excited (and surprisingly, Ellie is too--I think maybe it's a promise of her very own pool in the backyard?!)

We will truly miss San Diego though--(who wouldn't right??) We feel we have been so blessed to consider Southern California as "home" for the past 8 years. I mean we got to LIVE in the same place where other people plan dream vacations to. I mean hey, we honeymooned here! However, we feel that this is a move forward for us and it is what is best for our little family at this time.

BUT
that doesn't mean that we won't be back TONS to visit!! I mean, we still have our Sea World passes. We still have to use up our Disney get a day pass. We still have my dad and Nancy here to visit. Not to mention all our good friends who we will miss dearly and will have to come visit. And... when the temps get up to 119 in the summer, you know I will be in the car driving the kids back to visit so we can hang out at the beach! It's a measly 5 1/2 hours away--that's nothing!

So for now, it's a little CRAZY around here!!
Now que the "joys" of moving! AHHH!!! Packing with 3 little ones, house hunting, saying good-byes... Yeah, and does anyone know of anyone who wants to buy a cute little house in San Diego?????
