Preparing to move brings mixed emotions for Deb and I. As many of you know, living in Colorado has been a dream of ours since we met. Ever since our first trip out West together (shortly after we met at Rocky Rococo's Pizza), we have been scheming of ways to make a living in Colorado. Most of these scheming sessions took place on our way home from the many vacations we would take in the mountains (what else are you going to do on I-80 from Ogallala to Omaha)? We talked of opening a take-and-bake pizza place, vacation rental business, golf business, or any other way to make enough money to raise a family which we desperately wanted. However, most of these sessions would fizzle as we approached the lights of Iowa City, our many close friends and all that was comfortable and routine. Then the kids came...in a hurry....and we decided that Iowa City was a great place to raise a family. But I truly believe that God had other plans for us as all signs began to point to Colorado again. We can't wait for all of the adventures that come with a change of scenery and feel incredibly blessed by the opportunities that have presented themselves. However, we are apprehensive to leave all that is comfortable and easy. Most of all, we are going to miss all of the friends and family that mean the world to us.
Better Late Than Never
Dear Friends and Family,
I have been meaning to get this going since we moved to Colorado. Since we don't facebook, tweet, or even return messages all that well, I thought we better find some way to keep our friends and family updated on our adventures. As we have found over the past year, time's a flyin' and the kids are growing up faster than we would like. Our goal with this blog is to capture some of the chaos that is our life before we are left with an uncomfortable amount of peace and quiet. As you all know my wife is incredibly gifted as an artist and scrapbooker so naturally I thought she was a shoe in for family blogger, however after a year of hinting, prodding, nagging and even asking really nice; I realize I am going to have to spearhead this project with hopes that she will take over after watching my pitiful skills in action. Hang in there with me until then. I hope to give some quick snapshots of what we have been up to over the past year and be caught up to present day happenings real soon.
Tight hugs and toothless kisses,
Chad, Deb, Matt, Kaylee and Tyler...and Mocha of course
