Getting ready for the move
Well, we're counting down the days until we pull chocks on Tiburon and head east. It's been hard, saying goodbye to friends we've made over the past nine years here, packing up our belongings, going through all the stuff we've accumulated, and living in the middle of a pretty extensive remodeling effort for the past two months.
Meanwhile I'm trying to work, Travis graduated from college in Wisconsin, Nick graduated from Redwood HS and is headed off to UC Santa Cruz, and we're getting ready for Travis' wedding in Germany on September 30th.
All of which is by way of apologizing for the lack of updates here (and elsewhere on my other sites). I did update the photo gallery with a bunch of pictures from earlier this year, and will be posting some more as we finish off the remodel.
We've purchased the property we wanted in Cape Charles, VA on the Chesapeake Bay, and rented a house to live in while we build one on the beach. Julie has been amazing in managing everything on the home front, including acting as our prime contractor, architect and interior designer on the remodel.
The boys have been amazing as well. Travis and Nick are both staying in California. Travis has a job at Red Hill Studios in Larkspur as a Production Assistant, and will be looking for a place close by. Nick will be headed off to Santa Cruz for college. Both Matt and Colin have been understanding and good natured about the move, which is testimony to their superior character, since both of them are too young to really remember living in Kansas or Georgia. I know they will like the Eastern Shore, the beaches and living on the water, though.
We're all a little nervous and excited, and since living in the constant noise and dust with everything we own already packed away in boxes is growing old, we're ready. More updates soon, I promise!
