Goodbye Arizona

The time has come where our family must say goodbye to Arizona. For the past 7 years we have called this wonderful place home.
  We bought our first home here, had both of our babies here and have met some of the most amazing friends that we will truly miss.
 About 2 years ago my hubby says to me, if Denver ever becomes a base we will move there!! All I could say was, yeah right!!! I'm not going anywhere and that will never happen.
 About a  year and a half ago, Southwest Airlines announced Denver as our newest base, and yes I started to get a little worried.
 I promised I would go check it out and keep an open mind.
 We visited  about a year ago and my mind was not so open and begged to give Phoenix another year. The hubby agreed and the wife was happy :)
Well that year has come and gone and I joined the "let's move to Denver wagon"
It truly is the best decision for our family and especially for my husband who works 140 + trips a months so that I can stay at home with the girls.
 Phoenix is one of the most senior bases so we just can't get a break here as far as work goes. Denver will be much nicer to us in that way.
 After a few visits we finally found a place to call home. We will be renting for a while just to make sure we like it.
 This will be a HUGE change for me, I'm not much of a cold weather person but I'm trusting the people who tell me you can ski in the am and golf in the pm...I think a friend quoted these exact words "ski to tee" not that I care to golf but that it seems to be a bearable winter :)
We have lots of family there, which will be nice and of course my parents sold their house and will be joining  us as well.
This is the perfect time to make a move like this because my girls aren't old enough to understand, and best of all they haven't started school.
 Ashlee is so excited to move to Denber as she calls it :) and since she's completely obsessed with wearing long sleeved shirts, this will be right up her ally.
I will truly miss all of you that have been such a big part of our lives..you know who you are :) I hope this is not goodbye but just an "until we meet again"
Our home will always be open for anyone who needs to beat the Phoenix heat or anyone who wants to hit the ski slopes.
Again thank you for all of the wonderful friendships I have made in the last 7 years, I can't even tell you how hard this move is emotionally.
So wish us luck on our new journey to Denver and once again our door will always be open to anyone who wants to visit
