For Sale


We are officially on the market! This is a bitter sweet thing for me. If we sell we have decided we're taking the plunge and moving to California. A lot of Brett's family lives in the Sacramento area and we know how awesome it would be to have the benefit of Aunts/Uncles and cousins for the boys. Living in Portland is totally our city of choice. We love the Northwest... we love our church.. we love our friends. But the boys are never truly going to know family if we only see them once or twice a year.
Flock has one of it's main offices in Redwood City so Brett would benefit from being MUCH closer to his company. The timing is as good as it will probably ever get. The boys are young enough to not be overly traumatized by the move... Brett has job flexibility.... the market there has taken a major dive so we could actually afford a house. Of course all of this rides on some lovely person buying our beautiful house. So, spread the word. Our house is listed $40,000 less than it was a year ago so it's a great deal.
So of course we're totally excited about the prospect of a good change and totally sad about the real possibility of saying good bye to so much we love. Please pray for the Lord's perfect timing and will for us.

Nice pic! I hope that the Lord moves you, or doesn't move you according to His plan, His purpose, and ultimately His timing. I pray for patience if it takes awhile, and wisdom to know if it won't at all. I--for selfish reasons, hope that you get to stay. ;) But, I will pray that the Lord just blesses you guys immensely. See you tomorrow night, and if not...Bunco!!

I'm praying that things will just fall into place if this a good time for you to move. Limbo is a fun place to be, isn't it? :)

I have mixed feelings about this:) I guess we can still be friends even if you're in California. See ya soon!

Wow Laura! What a huge decision for you all! I will be praying for this whole process to be obviously directed by the Lord and that you won't have any doubt about what steps you should take.
Bless you!
