Eleventh Hour

Spencer prayed at dinner tonight that Daddy could finish his project soon so we can move to Colorado. It made my heart happy. It's permeating us all. We're so close to the end and everyone is pulling to be done. Bill had a great interview this week at his unicorn firm. They're going to bring him out there to interview more. We're super excited. There's still so very much to do before the semester ends. It's insanity. But we.are.so.close! Ten years in the making! Bill has been working so hard for so long and he's earned every single bit of this degree and this job opportunity. He is amazing. We're already planning what we're going to do in celebration. It's all in dream form still, but so very, very close to reality and the feeling is out of this world.

We're running on little sleep, little money, mostly just that last burst at the end of a marathon. We're digging down somewhere to find just a little bit more to give. So if you're the praying type, send prayers our way that we can just give that last little bit more needed. It's a huge accomplishment this PhD business and it's taking everything Bill has, everything I have, the kids see it, and we need all the blessings we can get.

Eric and Eva are finally finished after I believe 14 years. They will be moving to Logan, Utah in June. It's coming up fast....Colorado Springs was one of their top choices but no openings in his specialty. Eva's sister and her family live in Boulder I believe. She finished her meteorology studies there. Good luck wherever you end up. Hopefully, Colorado. Though Vermont is pretty nice. We had a Barker family there in October 2015 because they live right on the border of Vermont and New Hampshire. Some really beautiful places, especially in the fall.
