A whole new chapter!

I guess I should post about the recent goings on in our little family.  About two or three months ago Matt interviewed with a law firm that he really wanted to work for.  After waiting a couple of days, the guy called Matt and said they had decided not to fill the position, but that he would keep Matt's resume on his desk should any openings come up.  Well, a month later, he called and said, "Hey, we have an opening in Tucson." Matt told him he would talk to me about it and hung up, then immediately started laughing.  He then told me they had offered him a job in Tucson, after which I started laughing!  Tucson, YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!  However, the more Matt talked about this job, the more it sounded like we couldn't turn it down.  That weekend we hopped in the car and drove the hour and a half to Tucson, and let me just say I was NOT impressed!  I immediately thought I could not live in the middle of the desert. (Literally! This place is full of cactus and dirt!) However, despite my reservations about the landscape, we both felt really strongly that this is where we needed to be.  So, to make an even longer story short, Matt accepted the job. They gave us a month, so Matt gave his two weeks at the county, we packed up, said our good byes, and here we are in lovely Tucson!  And I have to say, I just LOVE it!!   We were able to find a house for the same price it would cost to rent an apartment so we went for it!  And I cannot tell you how much Jackson loves having space to run around in.  We live in a beautiful area and I have already grown to love the cacti and the dirt! Not to mention when we look out our windows we have a beautiful view of the mountains (yes I said mountains!)  So, that is where we are right now!  Life is good and we feel so blessed.
