Lately

It has come to my attention that I have been removed from my brothers list of links on his blog site. This comes at a huge surprise to me only because of the fact that I am his brother, not something like it. Familia me hermano, familia. But that's okay I have been rather delinquent in my postings and of that I am not proud. But alas a new day has come.
So here is what has been going on in the land of the rising bird and temp. Kendra and myself have purchased a new home that is being built in Verrado. A great opportunity for us to invest in a bigger house and also into an awesome community. This is a big stretch for us in the financial department but we feel that it is where God is leading us and we are going ahead full steam. The house will be about 2200 square feet (2x what we are in now) and twice the purchase price too. I only have a drawing of the house because it doesn't have a model built as of yet, but from the drawing it reminded us of homes that you would see in Santa Barbara. We like the look of the house, we have picket out our colors on the exterior, and we have chosen the kitchen cabinets, tile and countertops as well. It is exciting to purchase a home, but even more to design one from scratch, this has been quite a process and I am so happy that my wife and I have very similar taste when it comes to interior decorating. We heard some stories about husbands and wives fighting in the design center over things like carpet texture, or cabinet finish, and were reminded of how fortunate we were to be like minded for one, but also, some times I really could care less about tile size. Apart from the investment, and location (nearer the Campos and Cline clans) aspects, we also want to "enlarge our tent" ( 2 "Enlarge the site of your tent,and let your tent curtains be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your ropes, and drive your pegs deep. 3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left,and your descendants will disposes nations and inhabit the desolate cities.ISA 54:2-3)or in other words Kendra and I are trying to have a baby and we wanted to make room for the baby before He/She was even here. As my brother put it, we "pulled the goalie" and we are letting nature take it's course.
Work is going great, I just recently got a raise and a new phone (thank you Kendra) and we are swamped. Kendras job is going great, she is given opportunities to show how diverse she is and she is taking them every chance she gets. We just recently finished our first volleyball season here in the valley and the two Equity Electric teams finished second and third respectively. I am going to place that trophy in my trophy case (as soon as I get one) with honor. I don't remember all that well but I think that is my first trophy ever. I had a great team in: Aaron & Estrella Campos, Brian & Tracy Hart, and Kendra & myself. We had a good showing during the season but failed to pull together in the tournament and finished last. With lessons learned and some sweet and blood we will go into next season and take both overall and the tourney trophies and add them to our expanding case.
Thanks for checking in on our blog and I will make every effort to post more regularly, we love you all very much.
