On the road again....

Well, here we are again. Faced with a decision. Stay here in California with our family and friends (old and new) or take an opportunity to try something new. Keith has interviewed with a regional department within his current employer for a postion based out of Denver, Colorado. This position we feel would allow us more family time even though he will be traveling on average 3 days a week. That does not seem possible does it? That he could be gone 2 nights a week and still see us more? Oh, yes it is possible considering he commutes for at least 3 1/2 hours each day to get home in time to eat a late dinner and tuck the girls in. Not really enough time to go for a walk or a bike ride or to the park. So we are going to try something new, again. This will be our fourth out-of-state move since we were married 10 years ago. So we are used to it right? Wrong!

Moving will be a big challenge. Once again Keith will most likely be working in his new position well before our home here is sold, so the girls and I will be here in California for a few more months and Keith will be here a few more weeks. For those of you who remember our last move, that time apart was really difficult on all of us. However, Denver is a 14 hour drive from here so we will have opportunities to visit occasionally.

We still are not sure of how our living situation will work but most likley we we get an apartment near Denver for a few months and possibly build a new home in Elizabeth, Colorado. So if anyone knows of any good churches or homeschool groups in this area, please let me know.

Please keep us in your prayers as we have some major decisions to make.

I am going to try to keep this blog updated as we have new information on the job, move and a new home.

Wow! Congratulations to Keith on the job, and we wish you well, of course. We'll miss being able to see you with just a 6 hour drive, but we'll definitely come out to see you in Colorado when we can. Love to you all! Chris and Tracy
