Well, as most of you know, Brad has received a promotion within Washington Mutual. We were aggressively looking for work for Brad back home in Wisconsin, until his 'dream' job appeared in front of his eyes. After many interviews, long days of waiting, he received the call. The call to inform him that HE was selected for the job! This 'dream' job was a fantastic opportunity for him. Although it doesn't move us back to the Midwest, it brings Brad closer to a dream of his, a chance to explore different possibilities within the mortgage world, and a shot at another new adventure. He is so thrilled, and we are so proud of him. Of course with his new position brings on new challenges for him, and us as well.
We celebrated with daddy on his good news out for Hibachi. While mommy and daddy ordered off the menu, Sam and Matthew were using their chop sticks to grab their chicken nuggets. We never thought we would be 'those' parents who brought McDonald's to a fancy restaurant....but it was so perfect, I can't even explain. We had a GREAT dinner and Daddy was all smiles! Again, Congratulations Daddy, and Good Luck on Monday as you start your new role.
With Daddy's new job, we also will be moving. Not back home, unfortunately, but to a NEW home here in Florida. We are going to be staying here for another year, and we found the 'perfect' home a few subdivisions over from ours. We love the layout, the paint selections and most importantly the location! We are steps away from the soccer fields, park, swimming pools, and most importantly some of our great friends homes. It is going to be a great summer, unlike last. We know so many of our neighbors that already it feels like home. It is similar in size to our home now, but we will have many more conveniences! We will gain occupancy of the home in 2 weeks and we will be moving slowly over. We hope to have the moving truck here sometime in the middle of April and spend our first night in our home soon there after! We can't wait. The boys love the house...they love all the new doors that they can slam, the covered porch where Sam can lock Matthew out of the house (yes, it's happened already) and a new room for both boys! It is going to be great!
Next on our list will be to sign Sam up for Pre-School. We've toured a few, but haven't made our decision quite yet. Stay tuned....it's going to be a exciting month for all :).

CONGRATULATIONS! I am so happy for your family, though I guess it is selfish to be so happy that you will be closer to me for another year!! I hope something opens up closer to home, I know what its like to be far from family.
