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?

That is crazy. I am glad you are feeling good about the California decision. Maybe we need to come see you next summer. Ben has never been to Southern California.
We're so excited for you! Tom's from L.A. and says he never wants to go back, but I think it would be awesome! NO SNOW!!!! Just out of curiosity, what will you list your house for? (We know quite a few people looking in that area)
Jen,
I wasnt sure how to reply so Im just posting here in hopes you will see my response. We are listing it for 234,900. It is a 4 bedroom, 3 and a half bath condo with a two car garage. It has a completely finished basement. Its over 2,000 sq ft. We are selling it for way less than what we paid for it. You can get ours cheaper than a new one plus you get 20,000 in upgrades pretty much free. We LOVE the layout and wish we could stay here a long time. Let me know if anyones interested. Loren said he would cut you guys a deal if you wanted it:)

Yikes!! I am sad and excited for you at the same time...a new adventure. What will Loren be doing? I got your note on my blog...call me anytime and we would love to do a play date before you get to busy with all that's going on. 413-6062.
Talk to you soon.

What an amazing adventure for your family! And knowing that this is the right place for you to be provides such comfort during a crazy time. I can't believe I'm losing you to California again though, and I'm so sad about that.
And I'm still very sad we're not going with you in October. James and I were just talking about what a bummer it is we aren't able to go.
We love you and are so excited for you! If you need some help with anything, let us know. James and I have moved 7 times in the six years we've been married, we are packing and moving experts!
Let me know if you need your kids to come play at my house, so you can have kid-free organizing/packing times.
We're totally interested! If we could sell our in time, we'd take it in a heartbeat! email me at bowlingdude_trophywife@yahoo.com and let's talk some more.
