Well, we have officially lived here in Washington for a little over two months and we feel pretty at home already. Although we miss our family a lot we are so happy to have moved and to be around the endless opportunity for both Sydney and I and our kids. It has been a bit of a struggle to adjust to the weather here as it has been much colder here but we have also had a lot of sunny days and will take the good with the bad. April, although only half over has already been quite the roller coaster. We finally reached the finish line on April 9th though. Our son was born, and yet again, my life is changed forever. It seems as though ever since Sydney and I have been together I have experienced more moments of sheer miracle than I ever knew possible. This time it was my new son and words cannot describe how I felt when he was born. I think that God has given us the blessing of having children so that every once in a while when they are born we can experience the feeling of heaven on Earth, a miracle, and the ability to hold an angel all at once. Needless to say it is a bit overwhelming but the most powerful thing in the world. I love my wife more than anything in the world and the blessings that she has given me are sent straight from heaven.

I am finally adjusting to my 4:00am work schedule and it has been VERY nice to come home and have the entire afternoon to spend time with my kids and family. I am incredibly happy with the company that I work for. They are very family oriented and really just want their employees to be happy. It is nice to work in a place that truly appreciates their employees and rewards them accordingly.

 It is funny how moving away from everything can really bring a family together, we have all grown so strong as a family being here alone and having only each other to rely on. We cannot wait for everyone to come visit us and are open to whoever whenever!
