Introducing..The New Adventures of J, B, A & K in CA!

The title of this blog is very significant-there may be some that do not know, but we are moving at the end of February to Southern California. **sad and excited** A few days before Christmas Jeremy was offered a new position with Lutron where he will be in sales covering southern CA, Las Vegas, Arizona and New Mexico. He is really excited, he has been interested in doing this for a little while now and after lots of thought and prayer an opportunity came our way and we are grateful for it. We are sad to leave such a beautiful area with such great people and friends we care about, these last 2 years of our lives here have been so good for our family in so many ways. We have made great friends here who were our family out here that have been great examples to us and have blessed our lives so much. We have loved exploring the east coast and seeing so many places and enjoying the changing seasons (except for the cold winters which will not be missed!). Jeremy and I always say we dont think we'll ever live in another area with as much natural beauty all around us as PA. Jeremy will miss "traffic" on Main Street, 378, 78 and 22 that is nothing compared to the traffic of the 5, 55, 57, 405, 91 etc! We will miss this area, so many good things happened to us these last few years and so many good people have been in our lives that we will not forget.
His company is taking care of the move (another blessing!) so all we need to do is fly out at the end of the month and he will officially start the last day of February. He's already been out to CA a few times to meet his accounts and his new colleagues which has left me alone for 5 to 6 days straight with no husband at home and two little kids! Its been crazy around here the last few weeks! We are going to move in with Jeremy's parents in Placentia who have been kind enough to let us stay with them for a little while.
This winter has been brutally cold, not as much snow as last year but much colder and with Austin its been tough to get outside and do anything. Luckily for Kylee when Daddy is home he has taken her on trips to the mall, McDonalds, some chilly outdoor trips to the swingset (Kylee loves it no matter what the temperature is!)and a few toy stores to keep her entertained during the winter.
We are excited to be back in California, very excited for warm weather and sunshine everyday! It will be fun to be near family again and see Kylee and Austin get to know their cousins. Kylee is growing up so fast and talking so much now! The latest is a phrase she got from Jeremy.....now and then she will drop her cup on the floor or do something and say "oh shoot Mommy oh shoot!" . She knows all of the Friends characters by their first names and loves singing songs. She makes us laugh every single day and we love it!
