June News

Hi everybody!

Sorry we haven't had a chance to update in some time. We've been rather busy making life choices and such. :) Grant was offered a new job last month and after the interview and 2-day trial run, we decided that it would be in our best interest for him take it. The only difficulty we had in coming to this decision is the job location. For those of you who don't know: I currently live in Redlands, California. Grant's new job is in San Jose which is about 6 and a half hours from Redlands.

I know what you're thinking (something along the lines of "Whhhhhhaaaaat?" or "Jimminy Cricket, that's far!") but we took plenty of time to consider our options and we've both committed to this sacrifice that seems huge and insurmountable from this vantage point but in truth, it's only one year out of the rest of our lives together and we're tough cookies, so don't worry!

All of last week was dedicated to packing up Grant. We spent Friday and Saturday saying farewells to friends and his co-workers and packing everything possible into the truck. We got a late start on Sunday thanks to Chad (Grant's brother) and his friend Tara who treated us to breakfast at our favorite little diner before taking off. The journey went more quickly than we had planned and without any hitches -which we took as a sign that we are definitely on the right path. :)

I was able to spend Monday and Tuesday in SJ unpacking and settling Grant in at his parents' house, who so graciously offered to have him move in to save money for when we'll need it. (Thanks soon-to-be Mom and Dad Paige!!) So when our fun extended weekend concluded, I hopped on a flight and here I am... spending my first weekend fiance-free updating our blog. Hooray!

Other than the big event, our wedding news consists of two items: (1) I found my shoes today (I know you've all been on pins and needles over that so rest easy) and (2) just before moving Grant we were able to catch the videographer that we've been wanting for the wedding to hammer out details and it looks like everything is going to work out perfectly! If you would like to check out our vendors, scroll down to the previous post "Accomplishments" -all of the terms are links which should show up as blue words.

I would finish this update with some pictures from The Move but unfortunately they currently all reside on Grant's camera. So here's a picture from our 6th or 7th date -seeing The Bravery in LA.



Much love to you all friends and family!!
