Moving!!


This is what our garage looks like right now: A staging area for the next move!
So we've known for a couple months that our landlords were going to put the property on the market which means our house and their own would be selling and that we'd probably be moving, but we didn't realize how fast it would all go down. They put the house on the market May 15th and signed papers on it May 28th and we need to be out in the next 30 days! We signed a lease yesterday for a little condo type rental in Morgan Hill (near Gilroy) which means that Jared will now be working from the Campbell office (instead of the Watsonville office) with his same law firm.

We will be leaving friends behind, of course, and we will really miss our little house and our neighbors. We will be leaving 2.5 acres with plenty of space for the girls to play to have a 10 foot by 20 foot "backyard" which consists of dirt, rocks and some trash, in no particular order as far as I could tell. However, we are excited for a new adventure. We hear good reports about Morgan Hill as far as being family oriented, a good strong LDS ward (two of them and a Spanish branch actually in a town of 40,000) and a safe town. We will be living about 1.5 hours from my parents which is closer than now. We have a lot to do in the next two weeks as we will be moving on June 11th. This next weekend is Jared's 30th birthday bash that I had already planned and invited a bunch of people to celebrate with us, so we will just buckle down and pack after that, I guess! You'd think we would have this down by now since we moved August 2008, September 2009 and now June 2010, but it is always a pain and a headache to move. Wish us luck! On to another phase of our lives...

  2. I'm so excited that you get a change. Those are always fun/hard. People always gravitate to you so you will have a whole new crowd of friends quickly. Have fun!

  3. So it's settled! Wow. Headache is right - when it comes to packing/moving/unpacking ... but it sounds like it could be a good change of scenes yah?

    Sounds tough to have it all go so fast, but I'm glad you're not further along in your pregnancy!

    Good luck! And happy birthday to Jared soon!!!
