the universe provides....

13 days until D.C. and I am happy to report that I am employed at Down Dog Yoga studio! I will be the "Team Lead" aka Management Team at the Georgertown location. I start on 11/7--the same day Chris starts at the Foreign Service and brother Jerm starts his new position at Pay Pal. Life is good for the Schrader kids. We are so grateful for the many blessings of 2011, and look forward to the future!

18 more days in Denver....

Today was one of the 300 days of sunshine that Denver gets every year. It was absolutely beautiful. I cannot believe that we only have 18 days to go. In February, we drove from Phoenix to Denver to move Chris here, and in 18 short days we will embark on the trek from Denver to Washington, D.C. Chris has been waiting for over a year for this dream to be actualized. It has become a daily request that I ask someone to pinch me since we found out 3 weeks ago that his training begins November 7th! I am so proud of my amazing husband and cannot wait to begin our next adventure in the Foreign Service! We must STAY PRESENT to enjoy the last few days, the sunshine, the mountains, and the amazing family we have built here in such a short time. We love you all so much, and you will be forever in our hearts as we travel and live abroad.
