Farewell...

For those of you who haven't heard yet, as of today, Dan has officially closed the chapter to his 6+ year career at Innovative Communities and has started a new company with Andrew called Pacific West Development. We have had a whirlwind of weeks where Dan passed his General Contractor's license as well as his brokers license exams within a week of each other. He is looking forward to taking a little breather while he waits for his GC's license to arrive. He had a ridiculous amount of PTO which means he hardly took any time off from work over the last few years....so we're making him come with us to Disneyland next week and we're trying to sneak in a trip just me and him to Hawaii before the madness starts.
It was difficult to see my husband come home dragging every night and dreading his work week every Sunday night. Since his interest in starting his own company, Dan has had an energy and enthusiasm that I have missed. It has been amazing to see the Lord's hand in this transition. It started with an idea and doors have been flying open left and right to move it along. Dan completely leaves it to divine intervention to have passed those two exams on the first try and so close together. Although it will be a challenge, we're excited to try something new and allow Dan to fulfill a dream of his to work for himself!! Shannon and I are glad we're able to go through this change together! It's a little more reassuring when you're not alone in such a huge transition in your life!
Here goes nuthin'.....wish us luck!!!!!!
