Well, it’s official.
Ryan has been frequently traveling to Las Vegas to help some company with their equipment and set up. He’s probably been 4 times in the last two months. Well, this company decided they would like Ryan to be there a little bit more often, and offered him a job as their systems manager.
After a lot of discussion and much back and forth, he’s decided to accept their offer. That means we’ll be soon moving to Las Vegas. (Try to contain your cheers and excitement!) Ryan will start the end of April, and do the commute thing. I think he can go down on Monday and come home by Friday. We’ll be going down after Easter to find a place, and put our house up for sale. Ryan’s got a good friend who lives in Summerlin, which is just outside of Las Vegas, and we’re going to look for a house around there. We won’t have our big yard anymore, but who wants to do yardwork in Las Vegas in the summer. Maybe we’ll get something with a pool, instead.
We won’t be moving until after school is out for sure, and I’ve got my Bells concert June 2nd and 3rd. I’m so sad to have to leave the Bell Choir, but I’m so absolutely grateful that I had this marvelous opportunity for the past year. I’ve made so many new friends and can’t even say in words how much I’ve grown musically.
I know this is a Shock to you. It was a total shock to me, too. I haven’t mentioned anything on here because we were quite up in the air about the whole thing, and didn’t want to say anything until we knew for sure. I mean, we’re not the kind of people who just pick up and move every couple of years like *some people* we know (yes, you know who you are–and I’m not saying that like it’s a bad thing!).
We’ve prayed about it and feel good about it. It will be extremely hard leaving our wonderful neighborhood and being so close to family and friends, but now you’ll have a place to stop and visit on your way to Disneyland, right?
Holy crap!!! I can’t believe it. I can’t stand the thought of you guys leaving but I’m excited for your new adventure and totally jealous of the great winter weather you will have!
Do you know how much I love Vegas??? Tom and I love going to Vegas, and you never know when a cheer competition could bring us there. Good luck with your move, remember….the first year is the hardest, but after that its easy. Yesterday Tom was commenting on how much he loves it here in Florida, and is so happy with our decision to move here. I will be here for you, the tears will come, but they will quickly go. xoxoxo
I have known Paige for a very long time and I’m realizing that yesterday was April 1st. Does that perhaps have anything to do with this post?! (I hope so!)
It also just hit me that this was a post on April 1st – this has to be an April Fools Day joke (I sure hope it is).
How are we going to hold Book Club at your house if you move to Las Vegas? That is a little too far south to drive.
