The Move

A few months ago we felt really strongly that it was time for Rob to start looking for a new job. We didn't know where that path would lead us but we started the job hunt. Originally we didn't think we would be leaving Arizona but we kept feeling prompted otherwise. After looking at jobs and interviewing all over the country, we both kept coming back to Colorado. So when Corinthian Colleges offered Rob a job with Everest College in Colorado Springs as the Director of Admissions...we both knew that was where we were supposed to be! A little scary in some ways since I have only visited the Denver airport a handful of times and driven through the state but have never really visited. But when you know a decision is right, you go with it!

Originally Everest College wanted Rob to start on November 1st and I thought we had plenty of time to get ready. But before we left on our week long beach vacation, we got a call asking if Rob could start work on October 4th! So that's where we are at. Rob will be doing the same type of work he does now but a higher position, salary, etc. And hopefully a better company than his current one!

Rob and I will be flying out Colorado Springs in a couple of weeks to find a place to live and then moving the end of September. It's a little overwhelming right now and although exciting, a little sad to leave where we have lived our whole married life! But we look forward to many new adventures as we take on this new journey in our family.

And if my blog starts lacking this month - it's because I am trying to fit in everything I can into the next 3 weeks before we move.... like packing up a whole house, garage sales, friends, etc.

I think it's crazy that Ken's first day of work is also October 4th. But I'll be here for a few weeks so maybe if you guys aren't too crazy with unpacking we should meet up at a Colorado Springs park or something! I think you are going to LOVE Colorado!!
