Since my last post we had a great fourth of July visiting with Mike and Denise Radka and their little one Gus. It was his first birthday on the Fourth so we attended the party and then spent the rest of the day at their house in Simi Valley. I took a lot of pictures but they aren't uploaded yet.
I had a weekend in Palm Springs with some girlfriends which was completely delightful. It's a once a year treat that I missed last year because I didn't want to leave Anders yet. But this year I felt JUST FINE about it. =)
As I am writing this I am very aware of a large accumulation of boxes behind me. I'm also aware of all of the things around me that are not in boxes..... The reason for the boxes? On August 8 we will be moving about an hour away to Calabasas. We just found out last week that an apartment that we have been wanting came available and so we decided to take it. The list of pros and cons was long and detailed but the pros won out. We will miss our current residence greatly and I will be very homesick for the ease of having friends and family so close. I love our big windows that look out on lots of trees and the breeze that we get. I'll miss the friends that live right here in our complex, I'll miss the new Pinkberry Yogurt shop that we have grown to love.... so many things to miss.
Chris won't miss the hour and fifteen minute drive to and from work, and we both won't miss the hour each way drive to church on Sunday's.
So, the next few weeks are to be filled with packing, donating, selling and throwing away our worldly goods.
I'll post again soon, hopefully with pictures.

Very nice that you can blog again. Even more important when you move to Calabasas. We look forward to visiting you there often and learning about this wonder part of SoCal. Love, Dad
moving is always stressful. hope things go well for you.
you're moving?!? wow! I know it'll greatly enhance gas mileage and travel time, which will be fantastic. Are you going to look for new work in that area? I hope the packing and moving is as stress-free as possible ... and I can't wait to hear more!
Hey, we'll be moving buddies! I'll think of you as I pack the dreaded kitchen :)
My Calabasas memories consist entirely of my high school band geek days, when we used to take the bus down there from Carpinteria to play their football team. I remember worrying that my flute would freeze to my lips.
Sounds like a great thing for your family to spend less time on the road. Congrats--and when I feel the stress of moving myself, I'll be prompted to pray for you guys :)
