Life

So once again the blog has fallen by the wayside. Life has gotten in the way, so you'll have to excuse me while I take some time to update everyone. At the end of January Jake was approached with a new job opportunity that would take us back to Oregon. The new employer was almost too good to be true in location alone. Living 3 hours from "home" with 2 kiddos has been challenging, so it seemed like a no brainer to me. But after multiple conversations (it wasn't as easy as it sounded) weighing the pros and cons, Jake pulled the trigger and made the move. He's been back in Oregon for a month now while the girls and I wait for the house to sell. This has been less than ideal, but we keep telling ourselves it's only temporary. And it also keeps Lauren in preschool and preoccupied in that matter. However she is excited 90% of the time for the move. The other 10% of the time she's concerned that we might leave something behind. I answer a question like "Can I take my bed when we move to Oregon?" almost daily. We had our first non-open-house showing of the house last weekend, so hopefully things will pick up. They say spring is the best time to sell....and it starts tomorrow!

So there's my excuse for letting the blog go lately. I'll keep everyone posted on the progress and in the meantime you'll have to be satisfied with random, sporadic and sparse posts!
