your attention please . . .

We have an announcement that I, first, never thought I'd be making, and second, never thought I'd be happy about making. But I am on both accounts. We are moving back to Bakersfield the first week of May. Thad accepted a job offer there yesterday so it is official. And now I have a month to get things organized and ready to go. It was really hard to make a decision about this because we really have never had anything this big to think about. I mean leaving Provo changes everything. We are no longer poor college students so we have to think about saving money for a down payment on a house, and mortgage payments, and car payments(I need a new one), and 401K's, and school districts, and a million real world things that we have not had to deal with yet. Wish us luck ;)
Here is my new favorite picture of Andi.

That's awesome! Aren't both of your families there? It must be such a relief to at least know where you're going...the rest will fall into place.

Brit - Congrats!! It is fun not being a student anymore (even though Matt still is!) You'll get used to it. It is weird at first when all of your friends have real jobs and you do to! That is exciting!!
