We're Moving!

It was over a year ago, one evening when Angel and I asked ourselves: "what if we move to San Francisco?". I don't remember exactly what my state of mind was but I just remember resenting the frequent boiling temps at summertime. That's not enough reason to move is it? But as the months passed, events started unfolding that led us to seriously consider this move. The thought of being closer to family excited us. We discerned hard without putting too much pressure on ourselves. I remember Angel saying, if it's HIS will, everything will be easy.

First, Angel inquired about possible career opportunities in SF. She made one phone call to a friend and was instantly told that yes, they needed an associate dentist! That was the easy part. Now I had to decide if I should risk quitting my job at this difficult time. One day, it occurred to me however to ask my boss if he would allow me to work remotely. Although it was a longshot, I just had to ask. Not even 10 minutes into the meeting, my boss said he doesn't have a problem with me working remotely! I was almost into tears as I honestly did not expect it.

By December, Angel committed to her future employer that she would be starting no later than the middle of March. Problem was, we had an upcoming 3-week trip to the Philippines in January and that meant, we only had a few weeks in February to actually find a place in San Francisco! But like everything else that happened, we are just so, so blessed that this property fell into our laps by way of my sister Bil. Bil's friend Ding, happened to be renting out a house with an office (just what we'relo oking for) and the renters are scheduled to move out by March 1st. A week after we came back from the Manila, we flew to SF to see the place and we absolutely love it!

Today is Feb 23rd, Tuesday. In a few days, we are leaving our beloved OC and moving on. It certainly is an exciting time for our young family. We would've never thought we would ever move in just over a year. It seemed such a big step then. But I truly believe that this was not just our plan but HIS plan for us.

Again, what's a post without a photo?
