Happy Friendship Friday and Friday Follow hosted by
My most recent Facebook status was "Holy Moly, I just quit my job!"
A lot of things have been happening around here, a lot of uncertainty and a lot of stress.
Some of our friends have caught on. First, there was a Wordless Wednesday about Jelly Belly's room. Then I posted our Garage Sale. Soon followed by My Cinderella and Cleaning out the Fridge....
The waiting is finally OVER! We can finally and officially say we are moving to the Bay area!
The hubby accepted his job offer on Wednesday. He is getting his dream job; he will be working for Lucasfilm Animation! And I am so proud of him.
He has already told me that I MUST watch all the Star War movies before he starts. He starts on May 24!
Wowsters!!
Everything is happening so fast.
We need a place to live and we need to find renters for our house.
So much to do!
I need to remind myself to Breathe!
Since it is Friendship Friday, I must say that it's been an emotional week with family and friends.
We've gotten many different reactions from our news.
Quite a few are in complete shock, even denial. Others have been ecstatic! They can't wait to come and visit! Some just can't wrap their minds around it.
I have been in AZ since I was nine years old!
I have experienced every possible feeling that there is. I am a planner and a control freak, so considering all of this, I must say that I am very proud of myself. I am still standing, and somewhat breathing. My heart is pounding but I feel like I can do this, we can do this, I am feeling empowered by this opportunity!
A lot of things remain uncertain, but the one thing I do know is that I have my family and amazing friends that will help us get through this including all of you!
Jelly Belly's initial reaction was not the one we were hoping for. There were some tears and lots of questions. I swear I thought she really wouldn't understand it all, but I think she does. After a lot of comforting, reassuring and making this new adventure very exciting for her, we are now at the point where she is telling people, "I am going to California, to a new town, and I'm going to get a new house."
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we begin this new adventure and I promise to keep you posted!
Hope you join me for Friendship Fridays and be sure to visit Friday Follow!

Hello, from Friday Follow! Have a great weekend..and Happy Mother's day!
Congratulations to C on his dream job - that is AWESOME! Moving can be a scary adventure and I'm sorry B's reaction wasn't what you hoped, but try not to worry too much about her. My parents moved us around about every 4 years and while it was kind of hard as a kid, as an adult I think it was one of the greatest things my parents ever did for us. I learned a lot, got exposure to so many different people and places and I think it made me a better adult in the long run. You guys are gonna do great!! I wish your move was bringing you East instead, but we will definitely see you in the bay area at some point. We LOVE San Francisco. Congrats again.
