A New Chapter

Today is bittersweet day.  Chris is embarking on a great new adventure - his new job - and our family starts getting used to a lot less daddy-time, until we are all together again in Portland.  Not only is Chris starting a new job, but they have him beginning by attending a huge conference.  He's been studying all of their information, so he knows what to talk about to all of the attendees... sure doesn't want to sound like it is his first day, even though it is!  It'll be a great trip to Chicago for him.  He'll be able to meet everyone in his company, get to know some of his customers, and have a great time wining-and-dining.  I'm a little jealous!  Well, at least of the eating part.
Carter was sad to say goodbye, but I think the adjustment will be better than expected.  He has already surprised us by his amazing attitude with the move to Grandma and Granddad's house, and his excitement about our upcoming transition to Portland.  He is an awesome kid - we are so lucky to have him.  I am so excited to start this new step in life, and hope it continues to go as smoothly as possible.
