Colorado

Well, after 8 wonderful years its time to start saying our farewells to this sate that has been such a blessing to me and my family. Let me back up, about 2-3 months ago I had a light bulb go off in my head that said in part ..."why not move to the Dallas, Fort Worth area?" I started to think about it, thought about it some more...then called Cindy to discuss my crazy idea. We talked it over for quite a while on the phone then vowed to continue the conversation on-going. As we talked about and prayed about this idea we just couldn't come up with any negative reasons not to go. Sure we love living here, we have a great house, good job and close to nana and granddad but the positives just keep on mounding. First, I was excited to get Bethany & Jude closer to more family. DFW is the central location for 90% of our family. 2nd, it could be a step up for me career wise at Whole Foods. 3rd, we have quickly outgrown our house and we would be able to purchase a step up in housing in Texas as well as the fact that it is cheaper to live in Texas. Because of all those reasons we felt that we needed to carefully consider the possibility that this might be exactly what our family needs to take a step forward & upword. One major hurdle was Finding a job. I looked outside Whole Foods because I knew that it was a long shot of me getting the same position or level at Whole Foods that I had worked so hard to obtained in Colorado so I didn't even apply for that job and applied for a lesser position. I got an interview and was not given the job because they said I had the skills of an Associate  Team Leader (my current position). They then contacted another recruiter and got me an interview for an Associate Team Leader job! I was humbled but excited for the opportunity and drove down for the interview. I receive word back the next day that I got the job and the pay was even more than I could have dreamed of. Wow, when God blesses you when you are faithful and trust him he doesn't hold back!! I am just in awe, daily, as I watch the Almighty's hand at work in our lives and can't wait to see what comes next....one more big hurdle to jump though, selling the house. Be praying. I know God will be faithful. But anyway, back to Colorado. So many wonderful things happen to me and my family here that I wanted to list a few...David letterman style (not in any order)
