This mother's day has given way to much thought and reflection. A mere 3 weeks ago, Jeff graduated from chiropractic school and we relocated our family to Colorado to pursue a very prestigious internship. We had just settled into our beautiful new home and Jeff had begun working when we got some awful news. Jeff did not pass his part III board exam and as a result is unable to get a chiropractic license in Colorado. This forced us to make the difficult decision to pack up our family AGAIN and move in with my parents in Arizona. We had eventually planned on moving in with my parents and settling in Arizona but have had to bump up our timetable. We have therefore spent the last 4 days packing up our beautiful new townhome (thankfully rented) and are planning on making the drive to Arizona this week. We are hopeful that Jeff can get a job in Arizona since the licensing laws are slightly different there and that we'll be able to get back on our feet soon.
Although this has been one of the worst weeks of my life, I must reflect on all the wonderful blessings that I have in my life. I have two healthy and beautiful children that are too young to be affected by any of this drama. I have a husband who has been my rock and provided endless hugs through my near constant crying. I have parents who have a home that we can live in while we get on our feet. And we have countless other relatives and friends that have provided financial and emotional support. I know the Lord has a plan for my family and that we will get through this difficult time.

Good luck. I am sure things will work out. You guys are great, we miss you!!!
In my selfish way, I'm so glad you're moving to Arizona. Now I'll get to see you and your beautiful children from time to time. In fact, I'm coming next weekend, so get excited.
It will all work out...as Grandma Beer always said, "Let go and let God!" and "Don't look in, look up."
Love you,
Auntie Tess
Bee and Jeff, I am sorry about the boards!!! But, I am so grateful that you have a place to go!! Your children are BEAUTIFUL (talk about a cute little boy!!) and you two will do great. We love you guys! Happy Mothers Day, Bee!!
Sorry to hear about the stress...Life throws curve balls that we just weren't expecting! I am glad to hear you have some options and wonderful family and friends to help you through it. As my mom always says, "And this too shall pass" and you will be up on your feet heading down maybe a different path than you had envisioned in no time. Good luck on the new adventure!
Oh man, I'm so sorry you've been going through such a hard time. I'm glad you're able to be with your family and I'm sure things will work out soon and for the best.
Oh we will need to hang out. That is happy news for us that you will be closer but so sorry to hear about the craziness. Hang in there, good thing for your sweet parents. Your baby is darling!
Your family will be in our prayers. We wish all the best for you and know that things will eventually work out. Your children are darling!
