Short post just to update you: We are moving to Colorado Springs. We have been thinking about it for a while and the time has come to go for it. There are lots of reasons for the move and I won't go into all of them here but one big one is that my job is in the Springs and moving down there will allow me to cut my commute from 2 hours daily to 10 minutes. How cool is that?
The girls are already enrolled in school and will go for their placement testing and tour of the school later this week and early next week. They are both doing well with the idea of moving which is a real blessing. I think that some of it is that it represents a new start--something we desperately need. Again, over the next weeks I'll go into more detail.
We are going to put our house on the market the first of the year so we still have a TON to do to before we move out. We are leaving a bunch of stuff so that the house will be "staged" for showing, but everything else needs to go. I have to give special recognition to my mom and to Audrey. They make quite a team when it comes to getting things packed up. You should see these two attack a project! We will be workng on finishing everything up over the next three weeks.
We are going to live with my folks until the house sells. They have done an amazing job of making space for us and we have gotten to stay down there for a few weekends and it has worked really well. They have a great basement with lots of room and so we'll be in a good place until the time comes to move into our own place.
Sorry for the short post. I just wanted to let you all know what's going on. I will write a longer post when I have time and as I have the creative juices flowing--feeling a little flat these days. So much to do!
1. Please pray that we are able to get the house in order over the next couple of weeks.
2. Please pray that the house would sell quickly!
3. Please pray for the girl's transition.
