Big Changes!!!

We have two big announcements.  One, we are moving.  Two, I am pregnant!!!

We are moving to Denver, Colorado.  Dad got a job with Ernst and Young (one of the big four accounting firms.)  He will start this Monday.  Our house is under contract after being on the market for less than two weeks.  The way this has all worked out has been such a blessing, miraculous really.  I am so sad to leave our beautiful city and all of my awesome friends, but I am really excited for Dad to have a job with so much potential for growth.  The kids and I will stay a few more weeks to wrap things up here and then Dad will come back to move us out there.

The other exciting news is that I am pregnant.  We have been planning this one for a year.  The timing is a little crazy but I am pretty sure there isn't a convenient time to be pregnant.  We are expecting Vance baby number six in November.  The kids are all soooo excited.  I am happy to be doing this with so many helpers this time.  It is way easier!!!

So, lots of excitement here.  We feel so blessed.  I can't say that enough.  The Lord has been mindful of us and has been supporting us through all of this.  We are so thankful.

Congratulations Julienne!!!! Another Vance and a nice new place to bring a baby to. :) YAY! How fun and exciting! Hope you don't get too sick this time around and that you have the energy to get stuff ready for the move. Sad you have to move after you just fixed up your house. We're going to miss seeing you on our Oregon trips. We love you guys!

Congratulations on both the baby and the new job. Those are some very big changes. I'm sorry that you have to leave your house I have loved all the changes you made to it, but I'm sure those are the things that have helped it sell so quickly.

Dawn Rae said...

Congrats! You guys will be missed, but sounds like new adventures are coming.

Christi said...

Although I'm very sad you're moving so far away, although we didn't see each other near often enough, I'm happy for you. Congratulations!

cynthia said...

Wow! Wow! Wow! Congratulations on all fronts! I'm so excited for you guys and your upcoming adventures. Best wishes on the move! Hope you're feeling okay through it. (You'll have to look up Jeff and Angie-Mike's sis-- when you get there...)

Hooray! Congrats on #6! I'm pretty sure I've heard you say before that you thought you were done with 5 ;)...makes me nervous to ever say I'm done, because there's always that chance that as time goes by you might feel ready for another. The miracle of families! I love it! I hope you are feeling well and that the move goes smothly for you! After seeing the pics of your home, I'm not surprised it went fast! Love to you and all the fam!

I'm so excited for your family. Seth told me tonight on our walk about you exciting changes. I keep asking if he was teasing me, so I came home and found your blog. I'm on gmail (same first part of the address) so I haven't been getting your updated post emails. I just had to smile when I read your post on how you had been planning another baby for about a year. We had something similar. Teaches us to NEVER say we are done (although Seth and I are saying we are done again.) Our little guy is due in just 4 weeks. You sick? I can't imagine moving and morning sickness.
