we are…

Yes, it’s true. Munchkin doesn’t look excited, but believe me…she is. And so are we. For those of you who might be new to the blog, I’ll give ya a little background. Hubs and I both grew up in Oklahoma. After college, we both moved to Texas. Got married, then moved to California. We’ve lived in Orange County for 2 years.

It’s been a blast. An absolute blast. We made a baby here. We had FUN {more fun than just making a baby, but that was fun too}. But it’s never felt like home. TRUE home. We want family & friends surrounding us. We are crazy attempting to make another baby, and beginning the process to adopt. So if you can count that high, that’s THREE babies. Little tiny babies.

Yes, I said crazy.

The bad news — um, we have no job. So please be praying for us that doors open so we can plant some roots and grow our family there.  The good news — my inlaws live in Alaska but still have a house in OK, so we are going to be living there for…free.

This is a big step of faith for us. We are beyond sad to say goodbye to Huntington Beach, but excited for all the open arms that await us.

We chased our dreams, had a blast…

but now it’s time to come home.

    So happy for you! Glad it could all work out. You have a great Mom and Dad and in laws. I have been in Raleigh for over four years and there is certainly no place like home!

    Congratulations! When you have little ones it’s important to do what you can to keep yourself surrounded by the best support system possible, and I believe that’s what this move will mean for you. (Can’t knock free housing either!)

    On a more selfish note, here I am just barely gettin’ ta know ya, and off you go leaving! Kingsfield and the OC will miss all three of you. Hugs and love from the Eiler family.

    • kk October 25, 2010 at 9:59 am #

      I know :( I was so sad when you guys started coming b/c I knew we wouldn’t be there much longer!! I’m sure going to miss you and Jessi will miss Noah!!!

  11. Mama Bub October 25, 2010 at 7:57 am #

    That’s awesome. I’ve always told my husband that I would move anywhere as long as my parents move right along with us. Living near family is so great when you have kids!

    • kk October 25, 2010 at 10:00 am #

      Ha! Yeah, it’s going to be quite a change for me, and a very welcomed change!! I need all the help I can get!

  12. Bob and Patsy Atterberry October 25, 2010 at 8:16 am #

    We’re glad you’re coming home too!!!!! We love you ans will be praying for you (job,etc.) Look forward to seeing you!!!!!

  13. mel October 25, 2010 at 8:50 am #

    yeah!!! NOTHING better than family!!! If u can drive to see them “in between meals”… it’s close enough!!!

    You’ll be so glad Jessi has family close, it will be awesome! Prayers are up for a job! He has great plans for you both!

  14. Tiffany October 25, 2010 at 9:06 am #

  16. Kriste October 25, 2010 at 9:54 am #

    KK, I am SO incredibly happy for your family! My hubs and I have always wanted to move away for a while, but we both know how much we want our children (that we will have one day…) to grow up around family. We both did, and it’s great. I know its a big jump, just a few miles long for y’all…but it will definitely be worth it! God has amazing plans for you!

    • kk October 25, 2010 at 10:03 am #

      Thanks for the encouragement, we are really happy our kids will have tons of family close by to grow up around!
