Our Christmas Message.

We mailed these to our family/friends in WA for them to open on Christmas.

Michael got offered a wonderful promotion within his company to a studio they bought in Seattle.

This offer was the one that we finally felt God was leading us too for many, many reasons.

My mom was very prophetic in sending me this book for Christmas.

With a page on the top ten Seattle experiences for bakery buffs!

We went through the sadness of telling everyone in California.  

Well almost everyone, I have trouble with breaking the news so I make Michael do it.

This means I have a couple school/neighborhood friends that I still need to tell myself. : (

The answers to the main questions we've been asked:

1. Michael will be working at PopCap Games in downtown Seattle.

2. Tristan will be continuing Japanese Immersion at either John Stanford International School or McDonald Elementary.

(depending where we find a place to live)

God's hand was definitely on this with a job right near two japanese immersion schools.

3. The above meaning we will hopefully be living in the Wallingford neighborhood in Seattle.

(just depends how hard it is to find a place)

Believe me that is a feat because the only others in the Northwest are in Tacoma and Portland.

And the school was a MAJOR sticking point with moving anywhere.

4. Ideally we will be making our final move in mid February.

Again depends on our housing situation. 

We're praying that God will lead us to the perfect place when we are up for our house hunting trip.

Michael will be traveling back and forth until we move.

Anything involving moving is provided in EA's relocation package so we basically just have to figure out where to send the stuff/car!

It will make for a really busy month when we get back to CA.

Finding a place to live/gearing up to move/planning a bday party for Tristan!

But we are so blessed and excited.
