Big changes!

When Brandon began his job at Motion Industries we never would have imagined how things would turn out for him.  Here we are almost 10 years later and it is time for his next big step.  He has been promoted to a branch manager!  I couldn't be more proud of him.  He works so hard and does all the things he needs to do and then some.  Unfortunately/Fortunately, with this promotion comes a relocation.  We are moving to Northern California!  We always knew Las Vegas would not be our permanent home but it has kind of grown on us and now that we have plans to leave, we are finding it difficult to say goodbye to our friends, our schools, our parks, our home, everything and everyone we have made a part of our life for the past 5 years.  And due to the state of the housing market, we are going to hold onto our home here and rent it out a while.  It seems weird that we will own a home we will never again live in.  The good news is we put it on the market and it rented within the first week!  Whoooo- that is a big relief!  So, the harder part was actually finding the area we wanted to live in near Sacramento and then finding a house that we wanted to call home for a year or so until we could better figure things out.  Natalee and I made several trips and Drea drove over from San Rafael to help us out.  Finally, after searching and searching... it truly was exhausting... we found a quaint little house that rests on about 3/4 of an acre.  We are now excited and things are falling into place as the moving date approaches... only 2 more weeks and Orangevale, California will be our new home and place to begin our next chapter in life.
