Moving

Hey everyone, as most of you know, we have been trying to get orders to move out of Montana since Andrew was diagnosed last year. Jeff put in for what is called an "Exceptional Family Member Program" or EFMP move. We have been out of town for the past two weeks visiting with my family and when we returned today....we got a great BIG surprise! The application for the move was APPROVED and we have orders to Shriever AFB in Colorado Springs, CO. We are supposed to be there 15 Oct 2007. There are so many things running through our heads! Andrew will be fully taken care of in Denver at The Children's Hospital, no more traveling back and forth 12 hours every couple of months! He will also have to oppurtunity to meet other kids who are going through the same things that he is. There are so many support groups and great things for the kids down there. We will be living about and hour from my Grandma. We will also be close to some old friends of ours. Jeff's boss from Altus, Travis Webb and his family live in Colorado Springs, and Jeff is even going to be working with Travis again. So, we have a lot to do in the next month, but it is all going to be worth it. We are going to miss all of our friends here in Montana, but we know that this is the best thing for Andrew. He is excited too, he has two concerns, his friend who lives across the street, Ryan, and he wants to know who is going to do his "butterfly" needle. He knows the dr and nurses down in Denver, so I am sure that the transition will be an easy one. I hope that all of you are doing well. We'll keep in touch. Love to all, Suzanne (And Family)

How great!! And to be working with Travis again, that is even better whenever he gets back that is! At least you know some people up there already. Crazy how things work out sometimes huh?! Pretty great if you think about it. Well, good luck and best wishes.
