It is amazing to me how quickly things happen. Here’s a quick re-wind of the past few months:

-Chris and Robin begin looking for a house to buy in Wichita, KS
-Robin officially gets job in Wichita, KS at the Wichita Mid Continent Airport (yay!)

April:
-After looking at nearly 40 homes, Chris and Robin FINALLY put a bid down on a house…and it is ACCEPTED!
-Move in date: End of April
-Robin starts job at airport
-Final walk through before closing (are the current home owners REALLY moving?! It doesn’t look like they have started packing…..eik!)
-Close on house (yes, they did pack and move, as promised)
-MOVE: Friends/family were gracious enough to help us move both from Oklahoma and into our new house in Kansas. Thanks everyone! (I soon discovered that my growing belly was getting in the way…so mainly I pointed to
where things were supposed to go and directed people
-Chris works hard on and around house, making it a home for his new family (gardening, garage, kitchen……the list goes on!)
-Chris still waits patiently for IOE (aka on the job training with his company before they let him go fly internationally)
May:

Wow! Quite an adventure for you guys - but lots of good stuff!! Congrats on. . . well all of it. When are we going to be invited over? :)
Any time you like! just give us a call to make sure we are in town. : ) Our bed n' breakfast is open (well, not for business, only for friends and family--I don't want to have one of those businesses at this point in time)
