Change is upon us

Change is good. We have a major change we're going through in our life and we couldn't be more excited. Happy to finally "spill the beans" with you all.....we're moving!! We'll be moving to Colorado within the next few weeks.

There is some sadness that comes with this great opportunity because we'll be leaving what we know and all the people we know behind in Arizona. However, it is only a quick flight away and we're planning on coming back to hang out with all our friends and family from time to time and visit. This move also means all our AZ Friends and Family now have a place to visit during winter to get in some great skiing and a place to break away from the AZ heat, during the brutal AZ summers (not going to miss the 120 summer weather).

There are many reasons we're excited about the move and not just excited, but jumping with joy!! First, the reason for the move is Jeff got a new job. It's a wonderful opportunity. He also really likes what he is doing and his team, both very important. Second, we love Colorado. Meghan spent many summers in Colorado among other vacations, because not only is it a great place to vacation year round, but a majority of her extended family lives in various locations throughout Colorado. As for Jeff, he was born in Colorado and spent some time there when he was a kid. Third, Jeff's best friend, wife, their beautiful baby girl (& baby #2, due Aug 2010) are in Colorado and we're so excited to be so close them. Fourth, there are soooooooooooo many other things we're looking forward to, some of those things are... Annual Ski Passes. Experiencing four seasons (this will be new to Meghan to live anywhere that has seasons since she is an AZ Native). First snow fall of the season. Alpine slide. Great food. Amazing sushi (yes, in Colorado...fish is flown in fresh daily from Japan at the Sushi Restaurant, Sushi Den...best sushi ever). Close to extended family. Actually wearing sweaters, scarves, jackets, coats and boots for a reason other than just fashion as that is the current reason 99% of the time in Arizona. Starting off somewhere new, together, as husband and wife. Getting Colorado Driver's Licenses. And so much more, no matter if it is the great weather, outdoor excursions, shopping, skiing, the not so fun things like shoveling snow, we're looking forward to all that Colorado has to offer and experiencing all of it, together!

Keep you all posted.
