AND WE'RE ON THE MOVE AGAIN ...If you're here now, congrats. You transferred from the face book page. It's officially late here and my charm and wit are limited with exhaustion, so I will give you the readers digst version fo our latest escapades ... and here we go ... try and keep up, I know I am still trying to catch up!
Let's see ... alright, the final week of April two things happened, Jon left for Denver, Colorado to help with a new client transition with his company JLL. This was Wednesday. Late Thursday afternoon my mom called to inform me my grandfather was dying. The kids and I hopped a plane to Utah from New Hampshire, and Jon rerouted and met us in Utah Friday evening. First words from Jon's mouth ... "so how do you feel about Colorado?" We tabled the discussion until Monday everning AFTER Grandpa's funeral proceedings. Tuesday we fretted and stewed. We were fully invested in out little NEw Hampshire town. I was on the school board, jon was on the city zining board, we were both on the little league board, we had friends we loved, etc. etc. BUT, the offer was one of those "too good to be true" sort of deals and Jon's firm made it difficult to say no ... on;y one trick. Jon ahd to be there April 27th ... it was April 23 th day the company fedexed hiscontract to my my Mom's house in UTAH, he signed, and we started planning. Late Sunday evening we came home from Utah. Movers arrived at our house Wednesday and Thursday, and by Saturday morning the whole family (d0g included) boarded a plane headed for Colorado. The house went on the market the day after we left, and there you have it. SO, we managed to check the kidso ut of school, I quit my job, resigned from theschool board after one final meetng Monday evening, boht of us resigned from little league, and Jon resigned from the xzoning board ... all in two days. We said good bye to friends we could "catch " in the whilrwind before weleft I kept saying, this is like ripping a band aid off with no warning!
We landed in Colorado on Saturday evening, Jon left for work Monday morning, and the kids and I hosue hunted on Monday. By Monday afternoon we found our home, did a quick transaction, and moved in on Saturday when the moving trucks arrived (yes, keep up here, in one week). The kids registered for school. started monday, and seem to like what they have seen so far. The weather has been nice, my hair stays straight (yeah, NO HUMIDITY!) and my Mom even lives close enough she flew in for a couple days to help us start to unbury the moving boxes. We are aout 75% of the way moved in, but still settling. Jon loves his new client (he stayed with the same firm) and I love that I can finally quit my job since we won't be paying exorbitant heating oil prices and property taxes of NEw England! I am officially, yet again. a stay at home Mom, and actually enjoying the monotony. Look forward to me writing more. I can't wait.
The last year has been a litte hell our family with Jon's 2 hour commute (each way!) daily, and me working full time, and both of us being so involbed in community stuff. We are looking forward to a rest, and I am looking forward to making cupcakes and other assorted clue and pipe cleaner projects at the elementary school and ;earning all of the new sesame street characters. Yes, actually looking forward to it. Schools here are phenomenal, and we could 't ask for better. We're still in the honeymoon phase, but so far, so good. Now maybe I can remove the 30lbs of post-pregnancy office ass that have seemed to find me in the past year. Already on the prowl looking for a gym with childcare ... oh, and tanning. We are a bit pasty compared to our cohorts here in Colorado. THey actually see the sun 320 days a year ... despite all that is good, we miss NH and out dear friends. Take care of one another and please keep in touch. We have a hug hosue that is begging for visitors! Love to all!
Cortney, Jon and the Boys
p.s. witty banter and pictures to follow as soon as I can locate my silly camera and sense of humor. they are both buried in boxes somewhere!

-Sorry about your G'pa... I hope everyone is doing okay..
How fun! I have been wondering how you have been. It's good to hear from you again. Look me up on facebook.
That is nuts! How exciting, like military all over again? But honestly, for some people, it sounds like a dream come true. (*caugh* Bill*) I hope everything works out for you guys and the transition is as smooth as possible. Sorry to hear about your grandfather. It's insane how many juggling balls you have been thrown in one week! If anyone can handle it, it's you. Take care!
