Last Thursday Rowan started tee ball. He was pretty dang excited about it too! He felt comfortable and got right into the game. He is very outgoing and not very shy at all. I love that about him! Its pretty funny watching these boys try and play the game. They are all over the place. Eventually they'll learn I guess. I love watching him but its not as exciting as soccer. They dont really score playing teeball and they only get to run to one base. However they all get a chance to hit and the kids are happy...and thats all that matters!

California...here we come!

So its official! We are moving to Southern CA! Loren told his company yesterday that we have accepted there offer. The new building will be in San Bernardino but we WONT be living there. Its a serious dump! Dollar Tree flew us to California for a few days to check out the area before we gave them our decision. We loved Rancho Cucamonga, Redlands and Yucaipa. We are now going to get a realtor to help us get a sweet deal on a home. There are tons of foreclosures right now so that is a huge plus! We are getting a little excited. We have to I guess. There is just nothing we can do to stay and we have prayed about it. We fasted on Friday and went to the temple. We both felt peace about it all. We know that Heavenly Father will guide us to where he wants us to be and we are doing our best to listen to that guidance. We will be putting the house on the market this week. Uugh! I am not excited! I just went through all this a year ago and now we have to go through it all over again. The stress of keeping up an immaculate, organized, perfect looking home is a bit overwhelming but worth it. We hope to sell it quickly so that we can start making some offers in California. Dollartree wants Loren to be there recruiting January 4th. Thats not far from here. They have offered us a lot and are doing all they can to make this transition and easy one. They are paying for everything and have also offered to cover a huge loss if we were to take one on the house. They are an incredible company to work for!
We will keep you all updated on everything. Keep us in your prayers. We will be going down again at the end of October to look at some more houses and go to Disneyland. We cant wait! Ive been playing all sorts of Disney movies for the kids so they will know who everyone is. It will be a wonderful vacation! I feel like a kid already! I get so giddy just thinking about it! Then its all business when I get back. The Fresh Pearl is booked for Christmas shows and that will be my life until December. Ive got to have some fun while I can right?
