I just love this picture!!! Some of you may not have heard the news yet........ we are moving again!!! Jay is going to be the new DO for the Joint Strike Fighter for the Air Force at Edwards AFB. It is a very exciting opportunity, however it does mean that we will be moving. They wanted us there yesterday, but we will not actually get moved until August.Jay was actually in California all of last week and we needed to join him to do some house hunting since the time to move is very rapidly approaching. The market in California is crazy and houses are moving very quickly, some are not even on the market for more than 36 hours. I needed to get there fast. Our surrogate parents for the kids (Lauren and Phil) jumped right in to watch the kids. Poor Lauren, (after working 12 hours all night long) showed up Friday morning so Tanner, Hunter and I could hit the road. Phil showed up after work and they had a sleep over with the quads. I am not even sure the kids really knew I was gone.... they love Lauren and Phil so much that they had a great time. They played games, went to the park, went to the ice cream store, made cookies, and did crafts. What more could a kid ask for?!?!?!?!!?

The rest of us house hunted until there was no more hunting to do and then drove back Saturday night. We pulled in at 2:00 am. Not bad. Did we find a house? Well....... we left Califorina with a bunch of confusion and frustration. Everything was very over-priced and in very bad condition. We did make an offer on a new build that should be perfect. Great location, good schools, great view and best of all a Lauren and Phil suite. However, we have not been able to convince them they want to leave AZ yet. :>
We will keep you posted on the move and the house status. It is going to be a crazy month and we pray that things will go smoothly and we can make this transition as easy as possible for the kids. It has been interesting to watch them and to see how much insecurity they are currently feeling. I know it is hard for me, as I had gotten into a very good groove. Great friends, great comfort zone, with schools, extra curricular activities, and doctors all in order. I guess I was just getting too comfortable. But we are off to another adventure and I know that we are lucky to have so many great friends that will always be friends no matter where we go!!! And how awesome is that to have friends all over. Thanks again Lauren and Phil for all your help this weekend!!!!!

So you will be back to being only a few hours south of me! We will have to get together for a wild kid party.
Edwards?! There is a possibility we might move back there in January. It will never happen now that you'll be there (that's just my luck!) but it would be great to be stationed with you again! Keep your fingers crossed.
