Arizona


Arizona is a beautiful, unique state. The picture to the left was taken during one of my flights over Sedona, and you can see the wonderful colors God placed into the earth when he made it (click on the picture for more detail). Flagstaff is very similar to Bend, OR and will be a great place for us to live.
Training is progressing quickly, I should be done by this Saturday, and Sara is quickly getting things done in Portland with the help of many friends. We are still looking for a place to live in Flagstaff, but that will come in God's timing. Thanks for all your support!

How to Move?

When we first started down this road (2 months ago), the plan was to rent a U-Haul truck, pack everything, and spend a couple of days driving down to Flagstaff, AZ. With the recent snow experience, and reliving memories from our many winter drives to Ontario, OR and up from Fresno, CA, we have changed plans and will be hiring a mover. Finding the right mover is also proving to be a stressful event, as we read many horror stories concerning most movers on the web, and recover after getting the expensive bids from those we think will be honest. This is probably our largest hurdle to date, the next will be finding a place to live in our meager budget, in a resort town. Again, your prayers are greatly appreciated.
