When are we going??

That is the big question. After rushing around at the holidays getting everything in order, quitting my job and tying up loose ends; we are now sitting around waiting and still don't know when we are leaving. I packed up all the things we would need in Prague, but it turns out we need most of those things here as well. So now I've been unpacking things like bandaids and yoga DVD's so we can continue to live here. Thank god I didn't cancel the internet and newspaper.

So we are just enjoying our time here in Phoenix, the weather couldn't be better these last two weeks. And I sure am enjoying my time off. I am actually getting done all those things you want to get done but never seemed to have the time.


We will keep you all posted, but for the time being we are here in Phoenix.

We are going to miss everyone

The bad thing about a new adventure is the people you have to leave behind. We loved our going away party last night, thanks Tiffy for such a nice event. The problem is that a going away party requires that you go away, which we are, but we are really going to miss everyone here.

We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends, which is a rare treasure in today's world. It is going to be very hard to enjoy all the new adventures ahead of us without our friends and family to share it with.

I'm most torn up about leaving Sara and the girls. Yesterday, Sierra asked me why I wasn't coming to her birthday party and I almost cried. At least we got the web cameras working on Skype.

I am going to make the most of everyday we have here before we leave. Soaking in as many good times with family and friends as I can.

Hopefully we will find out in the next day or two when we are headed to Prague, but for now I am going to just enjoy being here.

No more job for me

Well, we better be moving because I quit my job this week. Now anyone who knows me knows that while I love being a nurse, I'm never in love with working. I have taken time off from work many times, sometimes for fun and sometimes with a broken bone. So it is nothing new for me to take a "sabbatical" but this time is especially great because I have Drew to share all the new adventures with, and because he still has a job so we won't be broke, like every other time I quit working. So I am really looking forward to having this time for myself; to explore a new city and culture, spoil Drew and if all goes well grow a baby.
Happy New Years everyone. Here's to a wonderful and exciting 2009 for us all.
