Changes

These past months have come with some big decisions! We are so excited to announce we are moving to Colorado! As my dear friend Kathryn said it best... ski slopes or BUST!!!

How did this all come to happen?
Well Rodrigo and I both love the state, it's one of few that we both like! And when my sister Becca decided to move there instead of Virginia, Rodrigo and I really wanted to join the Van Leuven crew.  Rodrigo started applying for internships out of Las Vegas because he was afraid if he got a good internship here we would never get out.  I began applying for jobs in the Denver area as well.  I took a quick trip out a couple weeks ago for some interviews.  This past week I was offered jobs and finally chose and accepted one today! Rodrigo was offered the internship that he really wanted as well which we are hopeful will turn into a full time position.  Things fell into place, we found a place to live, our friends are taking over our contract here in Las Vegas, and somehow we are going o get everything done within the week!

A bittersweet time...
We are thrilled about our new adventure, but there are so many bittersweet moments.  We have amazing friends in Las Vegas and I am so sad to leave them.  We have an amazing ward and I have formed bonds I couldn't have even imagined with the girls I work with.
One of the hardest parts for me is telling my families that I work with that I am leaving.  I love and adore my kiddos and their families.  This last week I have come home just exhausted and depressed from telling my families.
However, we know that this change is best for us, and we can't wait to get out of the desert! I can't wait to see snow and Rodrigo is just itching to go snowboarding again since he hasn't been able to...practically since we met! We are both so excited to be by Becca and Sam, we haven't been close to family in far too long! And on top of all that we are both very anxious to start our new jobs!

We will have a short break for Christmas in Texas and then we are on to new adventures!

Fancy Pants

I wanted to get more pictures of these babies before I posted but we are seriously crunched for time in this household lately.  Here is a teaser and hopefully I will get more pictures with these pants... because they are my favorite!
