Ok, I know this is way overdue!
We have made it to CA. Have been here for a few days. No excuse! Sorry! We ended up leaving early (8am--that IS early to us!) Monday morning and drove to Amarillo, TX that day. We put up at a decent time, went out to IHOP for dinner, then spent time at the pool. The kids loved it. We got up even earlier Tuesday and had a quick breakfast at the hotel then hit the road before 7 (don't ask me how we managed that!) Tuesday was a pretty hellish day, though, because we decided to drive all the way in to Camarillo...yes, you read that right. We drove from Amarillo to Camarillo in one day. And let me just say that one little letter is a very loooong distance!! Due to the two time changes it was at least a mostly day-time trip, but it was a very long 18 hour trip and the kids were quite ready to get out of the car by the time we pulled in at 11:30 pm local time. Since arriving we have had a good time hanging out with TT and Papa and Shimjon...and were even here for Tim's 37th bday. That was cool. The kids are enjoying playing outside and Chris and I are enjoying some down time before the hard task ahead of us in SJ. So, our plan is still the same--leave here Sat. the 30th to drive to SJ. Spend a week there working on the house and hopefully showing it. Pray we get an offer! At this point we're pretty willing to take just about anything! :)
I'll try to post more before we head up north.

Trip is Planned...
So we finally sat down and looked at the calendar...and realized that we have to leave THIS WEEKEND for California if we are going to see Chris's mom before her European trip! AAAHHH!!!
Needless to say, this week will be jam packed with getting the store ready for us to be gone, preparing the new menu and sending it off for printing since we'll be gone for month changeover, getting subs for our Sunday morning Emerge group and Wednesday night KIDMO group, planning lessons for the 3 weeks we'll be away, oh...and I guess there's the house and packing to work on as well!! Sigh. I foresee late nights and early mornings. I know it will be worth it, though. We are all excited about seeing family and friends and taking care of the house. Hopefully we will be seeing many of YOU! :) Our plan (that noone is aware of yet!) is to leave Sun. after church and probably get in Wed. to Camarillo. We will stay down there for about 10 days then Chris and I will head up to SJ Sat. 6/30. We will be up there that week preparing the house to hopefully do an Open House that next weekend (which, by the way, is Chris's big 4-0!!) That is the plan, anyway! We'll see if it all works out!
Last weekend was Jordan's ballet and tap recital. She did such a great job! We were not extremely thrilled with her teacher, but she had a great time and looked so cute! We just noticed that all that teacher's classes didn't know their routines very well and had to look at her for direction the whole time. Jordan was still adorable, though! If I can ever figure out how to upload pictures on here I'll get some on of her in her little cowgirl outfit for the Wild Wild West performance!
Ok, it's late and I need to get some shut eye. I just knew I had not posted in a while so I wanted to get on for a minute. Hope you all are doing well. Can't wait to see some of you!
