Here's the Plan

I think everyone knows by now but if you don't...We're moving! This shouldn't really shock any of you who know us. Cameron has been offered a job at the school that he did his seaplane training. It's in (drum roll please) Bullhead City, AZ! Where is this place you ask? Right on the Colorado River, across from Laughlin, NV, approx. 2 hours south of Vegas. Still don't know where? Lucky for you there's a map provided. So here's the deal. We're getting our moving truck on Wednesday of next week and loading that same day. Fortunately, we didn't unpack even a quarter of our stuff when we moved here so all that should be fairly simple. THEN we do Thanksgiving. This year it's EVERYONE all together. I mean EVERYONE! My family and Cameron's. It should be fun. We spend one more day with my family and then Saturday we're off. Travel Saturday and Sunday and move in to our new apt on Monday. Cameron will start work the next day.
If all goes well, this job will give him 1500 hours by the start of summer. If that happens then he can pretty much apply to whatever job he wants. That would be pretty amazing. So that's why we are going back on our previous statement (meaning MY statement) that we would never again leave the state of WA. This seems like too much of a good thing to pass it by. So another move it is.
Here are some pictures of our new town.

'Tis the Season

Now that Halloween is officially over (and we're stuck with the left over candy) Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner.
A few weeks ago I went to a class that was all on preparing early for Christmas. Now, I know what some of you may be thinking because I thought the SAME THING. Seriously? Plan early for Christmas? They already have decorations out in the store before Halloween! How much earlier can we get? Well, the girl who taught this class knows what she's talking about. After hearing all the suggestions that she had I am convinced that we should prepare early for the Holidays. She made up a list of all the suggestions and I want to share that with you. Sorry about the size and the format of the post. I wanted to share the ideas with you but I really didn't want to type it all out :)
