I've been neglecting this blog because I opted not to neglect my family, so, I'd say it was a worthy sacrifice ;)
Anyway we are now in CONNECTICUT, of all places! Honestly every time I remember we live here, I think "who even lives in Connecticut anyway?!" (oops, my West Coast is showing) To be fair, one of my dearest friends is from the good old Nutmeg state, and I know that people are actually living here. Mainly because I can see them like every day ;) It's simply a weird state for me to be living in. It is also the first time I have ever, ever been on the East Coast! Pretty exciting.
We are also thrilled to announce that we have been residents of all 3 C states within the same calendar year, in alphabetical order! California. Colorado. Connecticut. When will we receive our prize? That's what I'd like to know.
Anyway. Here is a timeline that picks up where I left off in my last update. No pictures because, my head hurts and I don't feel like putting them in. Can you blame me???

May 18th - arrive in Colorado!

May 18th - arrive in Colorado!
<Adjust to the altitude. fall in love with the place fast. Keep my family's new home from burning to the ground before they move in. Meet Jeff in Denver to pick up our car that he fixed up. Chris works on his reel and applies for a job at Blue Sky (in Connecticut) and is flown out for an interview!>
June 18-26th - Adams' family reunion in Lincoln City, Oregon! A week of fun family time, beach time, and good food. Chris was offered and accepted a position at Blue Sky during the trip! Which means....
June 26th - arrive back in Colorado and pack, again
July 4th - celebrate America by participating in capitalism and buying a new car!! And by going to see Jeff's Supermoto race in Denver, of course.
July 5th - My family arrives in their Colorado home, and we spend two days with them.
July 8th - leave for Connecticut! Stop in Lee's Summit, MO to stay with the Perry's.
July 9th - Stay an extra day with the Perry's
July 10th - Stop in Columbus, OH for the night
July 11th - Make it to Danbury, CT! Settle in to a hotel while the real house hunting begins
July 14th - By a huge miracle and thanks to connections from the ward, we have a home to rent. We think. Landlord lets us stay in the house until he gets there on July 25th to sign a contract.
July 25th - We finally sign a contract and can breathe easy. Our neighbors are awesome. The home is beautiful.
August 15th - our stuff finally arrives by POD! (significantly delayed because we didn't want to book anything before signing papers and such. Just in case something fell through.)
SO, yeah. We are FINALLY settled, and think we will be here for a good long while! So come visit us! ;)
