As many of you know, things have not been easy on me and Chris the past few months. The economy has really hit us hard- with Chris not working much and me having to slow down cause of the pregnancy-so once I was put on bedrest at 29 weeks, it all just went BOOM! The months of trying to float by, the scrimping and saving, just couldn't continue on anymore.
With our son coming into the world any moment now, we needed to have a better plan. "Getting by" wasn't going to cut it when it came to our baby. He deserves the best. He deserves to be safe. He deserves parents who are not at their wits end wondering if they will be able to provide for him. He didn't ask to be brought into this world, and there is no way we were going to allow him to have a life anything less than AMAZING.
So with that, on September 26th, 2009 Chris will be moving our belongings to Washington State, while me and Ethan continue on our wait to the 6 week mark and then fly up to meet him. After months of discussing this option we finally came to the decision that the move was the only way for us to get back on our feet.
While it is by no means an ideal situation, it is what is best for us and for our son. Leaving AZ and everyone here will be unbearably hard but we will make frequent visits and you better believe we will be back as soon as we have things where they should be.
This opportunity is for me to finish my degree and Chris to get back to working. I hope that everyone around us understands what we are doing and supports us in this decision, for it has not been an easy one to make.
