The Reason

Moving is no fun. Packing and unpacking is not enjoyable work. Leaving a life and a place we loved for a place we don't really know is scary. Missing friends and coworkers we liked so much is painful. Giving up something I'd dreamed about and never thought I'd actually have in my backyard is really hard. (I love this pic, just had to share...so clear and blue.)


Why did we do it? Why would we up-end our whole life? What could possibly cause us to do such a thing?

Nuff said.

    She is the best reason in the world!
    Besides that, we're glad to have you all closer!! Is that selfish? If it is, I'm not sorry :o)

    She is so beautiful and I understand doing what you need to do for your child.

    We had moved into a new home a year before Rylie was born. We bought the house from my husbands family and it was a great big house that we loved! And our mortgage payments were dirt cheap! However the school district was awful! We weren't worried about the school district because we were sending my oldest to a private school. When Rylie came along we soon realized that the private school was not going to accept Rylie. There was no way I could let her go into the horrible school district, so we had to move. We didn't move far(just outside the city), but we had to settle for a much smaller house w/ an expensive mortgage.Now that she is actually getting ready to go to school in the fall, I can say it was so worth it, because our new school district is wonderful.

    I pray you have many blessing and much happiness in your new location!

    What good parents! Moving for what's best for Braska :) While you will continue to miss old friends and coworkers, remember there are new friends and coworkers to meet. God never closes one door without opening another.

    Nuff Said, indeed!

    And she looks so grown up lately! I mean, not like a teenager, but Braska's definitely not a baby anymore.

    Braska is beautiful!

    Where did you find glasses that fit her gorgeous face correctly? Dillon's are HUGE and they are the smallest we could get at Clarkson.

    I fully get this. I had to change alot and give up some dreams and make new ones in the past few years. I did some of it kicking and screaming but at the end of the day when I hear "I love you Mommy" It certainly is all worth it!

New Fave-o Site

Get a cup of good hot chocolate, put on your comfy clothes, and settle in with some non-rushed time to check out Dan Drinker's site . I can't even tell you how much I love watching these videos and reading what his family has written about him. I feel like I want to tune into the Dan Drinker 24-hour channel or something. Dan is a young man with DS who is living and loving life, and his younger brother Will captures much of it on video. It's priceless, in my opinion. I just love it. Check out the blog, watch some videos, tell them that you've been there. I wish this guy lived near me! The most recent post, about Breaking Up with Christine , is funny and poignant. Here's a couple of my other favorite videos so far... I've still got more to watch! His 7th Prom A Basketball Date with Sarah

Streamlining the Blogs

I know it's been forever, and yes, Facebook is much to blame.  For as long as I held out and didn't join, now I see it's simplicity (and it's ability to suck up all my online time!!). BUT--After much pondering, I've decided I'm not giving up on blogging! Sometimes a narrative or story will be better served in a blog format, so I'm combining blogs into one.   Intentional Family  is our new all-in-one blog for the goings on of our family, Braska's progress, celebrations, and challenges, as well as the amazing rise of little sister Kinlee. Other places you could check out if you so choose would be our new business  Larae Photography LLC on Facebook  or on the web at  www.Larae-Photo.com , or the page for my hobbies-gone-busy  Just RK Designs . So if there ARE any blog readers still out there, please come on over to the new place and join up for the ride.  All the old posts from the 3 previous blogs will be there soon so you can catch up if you ...
