Move, Move and MOVE!

It's been a crazy few weeks at the Kinnon household.

Move #1
On October 17, Matt got laid-off from Pleasant Holidays. He had worked for the company fourteen and a half years! And we have worked together for 12 of those years. It has been a rough couple weeks adjusting for him. He is now Mr. Mom during the day and still going to law school at night.

Move #2
Shortly after what we now refer to as black Friday at Pleasant Holidays, my job was changed and I now am part of the marketing team. I will still work with the same National Accounts that I have been for years. The change of department and desks became move #2 for us.

Move #3 - The hardest move
On October 11, we accepted an offer on our home that we had been trying to sell since early March. We are excited to be moving to Camarillo and to be close to my family and Matt's school. We have rented a house for now in Matt and Beth's old neighborhood. We are sad to be leaving all the incredible friends that we have made in Simi. We have the most amazing friends and the best ward in Simi, SSIII as well as best neighbors you could ask for. It is bittersweet to say the least.
Karissa doesn't quite understand why we have to leave our house, she keeps telling me that she really likes our house. When we took her to the new house this past weekend, she loved it. She especially loved the neighborhood pool and play area. We are hoping that will make the transition a little easier.

We will send out cards with our new address soon.
