A Promotion for Chad and a California Move for the Family
Yep, you read that correctly....we are moving to California!! Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. That is what I keep telling myself.
First off - CONGRATULATIONS to the best man in the World - Chad!!!! He has worked with Core-Mark Intl. for eleven years. Eleven years ago he started as a vacation relief sale person....today he is the Division President of the LA division for Core-Mark!!!! We are so proud of you - hard work and dedication pays off - finally!
Chad is already in LA working and living...the "bachelor" life. As bachelor as you can get with a wife and four kids back home in Georgia. The kids and I decided to stay put until June. We love where we live - our friends, neighborhood and school! We decided to let the kids finish the school year and then we will move to our new home in California. It is another dot on the map that we will be laying down roots. When Chad has a free moment - hopefully weekends - he will go house hunting. Bryan, Tyler and Drew have requested a pool - so it better have a pool in the backyard. We are looking in the Southern part of Orange County to live. Chad will be able to take the metro train to work - save on gas and be able to work on the train. The boys think that sound pretty good.
We are so sad to leave Georgia and our amazing friends that we love so much. But, we are also excited about our new adventure on the West Coast! It will be nice to be so close to Montana again! We have a rare neighborhood that will be so hard to duplicate anywhere else. We will cherish our MANY memories of Georgia and the people that have a special place in our hearts. We hope y'all come to visit us in California to help us make new memories. (and I will never stop saying y'all - it is in my Southern - Northwest - Canadian - West Coast Blood)

Our elf, Dorm
We adopted Dorm in 2007. He is a special little elf. Every year he makes his appearance on Thanksgiving night. He stays until Christmas Eve when he leaves our house to go back to the North Pole for a VACATION. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, Dorm watches over the kids to make sure they are being NICE. Every evening after we all have gone to bed he flies away to tell Santa how the kids were - Good or Bad! He then flies back to our home and is in a different spot every morning. The kids LOVE to wake up EARLY to see where and what Dorm has been up too! As you can tell from the pictures, Dorm was very hilarious this year! He colored pictures out of the kids' coloring books, roasted a marshmellow and made a mess out of our kitchen! On his last night the Adults caught him drinking out of Mommy's wine glass - thank gosh the kids didn't see that! We love our Elf!
