From the beach to the Rockies...

If I don't write this post now it won't happen because we will be quite busy this month with...moving. Yep, the Donegans are moving back to Denver..for the 3rd time!

Last Friday Michael's office was unexpectedly shut down. Unfortunately the market here is terrible and the cost of living is very high. They had been struggling for awhile but we were just hopeful that one day it would turn around. Now we are picking up the pieces. Thank God Ace Denver has an opening. Michael is driving out tomorrow. YES that's right tomorrow. I know so crazy. It still doesn't seem real, but as of right now this is the best choice for our family. There is no reason to risk accepting another job out here with the market the way it is. We need stability at this point.

We have treated this last week as an overdue vacation. We've had a blast and it's been great spending time together. Attached are the pix from our week.

As of right now we don't know where we will be living, but God will work it out. I have so many emotions and feelings at this time and of course I can't write them all down. When we get settled I'm sure I will have an emotional post. I was laughing yesterday because Michael and I were getting caught up on DVR'd Oprah. It's definitely time for him to get back to work:)

Crazy! Talk about a lot of ups and downs in the last year. I'm so excited though that you'll be coming back to Colorado. I've missed you and your family so much. Guess it's a really good thing that we aren't coming out for Memorial Day weekend as you may be back here by then. Can't wait to see you again!
