Pre-Denver Adventures

It was confirmed today that we, the newlyweds, will be taking a summer adventure to Denver! Brent was presented with an opportunity to move to Denver temporarily for a short term project a few weeks ago. Since then, we've been waiting on a confirmation if he gets to go or not and the dates if he does. We know now, we leave next weekend! We couldn't be more excited and ready for this news.

We don't know the specific details of where we'll be staying and how long this project will last. However, we do know his start date is Monday, April 23rd. We also know we'll be blessed to escape the Texas heat for the summer of 2012! I can only imagine the excitement Brent has for that part.

I've started making a list of things to do for our summer away.

Hold on a sec... Are we now those people who have a different home for each season of the year?

We need to forward our mail, once we know where we'll be living. Inform our families and friends all the specific details. Hire someone to mow our lawn, and periodically check on the house. You get my drift.

Pessimistic paragraph:
I'm nervous. I will miss our friends and family. All our plants and flowers we worked so hard to plant and keep alive will more than likely die. Our house we've made into a home will be here, while we're there.....

Ok- that was hard- Optimistic-osity kicking into high gear!
We will be back to visit our friends and family. There are phones with text messaging and emails. They can all come visit us. Yes, our things here in Rowlett give us a sense of security and that feeling of comfort while we are at home. However, a home is not a home without it's family. Brent, Roscoe and I will make a temporary home in some furnished apartment or extended stay hotel. We'll be together! This is the best time we can do this. Who else gets a chance to move away during their first year of marriage? We are so lucky and blessed to be given this opportunity.

Yes, we're leaving, but we'll be back!

Update - We never left for Denver. The trip was postponed several times, and in August 2012, I started a new job. We adopted another dog, and his name is Tobie. He and Roscoe are the best of friends. We stayed in Rowlett, until we moved to The Colony in October of 2014.
