Life update

People, life is a fun and interesting adventure! Full of change. We Babers have had a lot of change in the past month!

We have moved to Fredericksburg, full-time! After a year of driving back and forth from Abilene to Fred to spend weekends there, it became more and more apparent to us that God is calling us to Fred for our next chapter. We were both able to work out a plan with our company to work remotely, which is absolutely amazing! We had to take on slightly different roles, since they want all management roles in the home office...exciting times are ahead as we both define these new roles and learn new things!

Our "move" was quite easy, actually -- we've been moving things down slowly every weekend, so we just needed to move our everyday things. We are officially locals in Fred now, and we worked our first remote week starting July 1. It was a short week, because we were blessed to have Thursday and Friday off for the holiday! Four day weekend for us. Whoop!

This upcoming week, we will actually be spending the full week back in Abilene -- it is the sales meeting week that occurs every summer. Chris has a few work meetings, we'll attend the company summer party, and the scrapbook retreat is at Kim's over the weekend. I'll go to that on Saturday and then we will head back to Fred to REALLY begin our remote work.

The four day weekend has been nice...we went to the July 4th parade Thursday morning and watched the fireworks from our church parking lot that evening. We've visited a few wineries here and there. We volunteered with the dogs this morning. Life in Fred is easy living and we are loving it!

Here's to our next chapter!
