One crazy week

We have had our house on the market for a few weeks, and last Monday, we signed the papers saying that we would accept the offer that came in. Yep, that's right. We got pretty lucky and sold our house in this upside down market, and it couldn't be better timing!

Two days later, we had our ultrasound and found out that we will be having another little BOY!!! We are absolutely thrilled and just know that he and Parker will have so much fun together being so close in age. Now we just need a name for the little guy...

Friday was Chad's last day of Pharmacy school!!! I am so proud of him and the dedication and hard work that he has put into his education. Since we have been married, Chad has finished his bachelor's degree, doctor of pharmacy degree and Masters of business. What a smarty pants. I love you and I am so proud of you!

That night we went out to a fabulous dinner and then had premium seats (5th row, dead center orchestra) to the Broadway showing of Grease, that was here in Baltimore. It was a great night and a perfect way to celebrate Chad being done, our new little boy, our sold house and Valentines day.

Chad has a job interview in Vegas on the 27th, so we decided to just pack up and move out before then. So, on Thursday, I flew out of Maryland for the last time, and as I type this, Chad is driving our car across the country. Somehow he is making the 2000 mile drive in just 2 days... CRAZY!

It was so sad to leave Maryland and all of our close friends who have been our "family" for the past few years. You will forever be our best friends as we have shared so much together. We will miss good old B'more and the wonderful memories and moments that took place there. Now, onto real life for us. Wish us luck!

Good luck with interviews and everything guys. We'll look you up next time we're in Vegas. How fortunate to be able to sell your house so quickly.

I'm still in denial. At least we've got your sofas to remember you by. Oh and I decided that a cute name for your little guy would be Bennett. It sounds good with Parker too.

What the heck is going on??? I am in total shock! I had no idea you guys left already!!! A crazy week indeed. I felt a little thrill run through me when you talked about being at a broadway show - you guys really know how to live it up. It reminded me of being in NY and Baltimore. It really was so fun. AND another BOY!!! That is the best. Wow - I can't believe you guys are going to have two kids so fast. I'm so happy for you!! So Vegas? How are you moved there if his job interview is Friday? I don't get it... but I'm a little behind on your lives. Anyway - congrats. We love the Burnhams!!1

wow...i'm sure it feels a little crazy leaving baltimore. it did for me. although i was excited to move on to our next phase of life, i'll be the first to admit that baltimore will always hold a special place in my heart. hope the move went well and you're settling in nicely. i don't know if i ever told you congrats on boy #2, but hope all goes well with that. brook turned 3 this week and i was looking at hospital pics of her; chad and you were in them with madi. time sure flies!!

Emily! Don't know if you remember me from a few years ago- Courtney "Anderton"?? Anyway, just wanted to drop a line to say how excited I am for you guys! It's amazing how much changes in just a few years!

Emily,
Sounds like things are going great for you guys. Dane is finishing his masters degree in School Psychology this June. We aren't as sad to leave Pocatello as you are to leave Maryland. Imagine that! He is actually going to interview for a job in Las Vegas next week maybe we'll end up in the same place. That would be fun!
