Moving Buddy...

We Did It!
We finally decided where we should move to...well, more like we took the offer that we had :)
This is our new home.....move over Hillary! That's right! We are moving to Washington D.C. I am excited, scared to death, nervous, anxious, scared to death, happy, sad and SCARED TO DEATH! We went to the temple on Friday, and when we left, I just knew. I have known ever since Devin got back from Washington state for his interview with Amazon. He didn't say hardly anything positive when I talked to him during his layover. I hung up the phone and although I was a bit disappointed (and did I mention scared to death), I knew that if it was the right thing to do, we would figure it all out and make it work. So that's what we are in the process of doing; figuring it all out. We are going to have to fly out there to find a place to live before we actually move, so we have been looking at flights, moving vans, moving pods, you name it, we have been looking into it. The good news is that Devin does have family and Maryland that have been helping us and even offered a place to stay while we are there looking for a place to live. He also has a brother in Connecticut so that will be fun. It will be a drive to see them, but they will be closer than before. All in all: Everything will be new. New place to live, new side of the USA, new baby boy , new job for Devin, and I will get to stay home for the first time in our married lives. I gave my notice at work today and even though my Doctor was upset, I felt like a whole new (scared to death) woman. Wish us luck!

The other member of the fam...

This little dog is Charlie. He lives with my Mom and Ray. He is like the third child in our family. He gets whatever he wants, and if you hang around him long enough, he will talk to you. Sometimes he says mean things, but usually he is a pretty good dog. Devin loves him, and he loves Devin. He likes men better than women (hmm...) and favors Ray over my Mom. He "Tolerates" me and little kids, but would rather chase birds and cats. Devin wants to get a dog like Charlie, and I can't wait. I think every little boy needs a dog. Schnauzers don't shed, so they are easy to keep in the house. We love you smalls!

Bittersweet

Well, He did it! On Friday, Devin graduated from Thunderbird. It was such a great day. The actual graduation was long, but was so good and in a wierd way, uplifting. The CEO of Forbes' Magazine was the keynote speaker and he was so good. He talked a lot about how making goals and keeping them is essential in life. For those of you who didn't know, coming to Thunderbird was a goal/dream of Devin's from the very beginning of his undergrad at UVSC. While he was going to UVSC he always talked about T-Bird, and how great it would be to go there. Thunderbird is THE #1 International Business School in the World!!! So when Devin found out he had been accepted, we cried. I am not kidding he called me in tears and I was freaking out until he said, we are going to Thunderbird. We have love, love, loved Arizona. We have made great friends, learned even more about each other, and Devin has so enjoyed his time and Thunderbird. During the ceremony on Friday one of the speakers really stressed how much family and friends helped the graduates. Devin looked over at me, and we cried together again. This was literally a "Dream Come True" for us both. Now, for the job hunt. Devin was offered a position in Washington D.C. working for the Department of Labor. He is also flying to Washington (the state) on Monday for an interview with Amazon.com. So we will be moving, but we have yet to see where. We will be praying, and looking for answers as to what we should do. We are excited...and yet a little nervous. I am so proud of Devin and I look forward to going with him, wherever he will go!
