The McKaes: Bend, Oregon or Bust!

Hi family and friends!

Dave and I have made our way to Bend, Oregon to start a new chapter in our lives together. As many of you know, baseball has taken us to various corners of the United States over the past five years. However, it was actually my job that has taken us to Bend. Dave has since retired from baseball (pretty lucky to be a 28 year old retiree, eh? :) ) and is pursuing his teaching credential. I will be starting my job as a school psychologist on August 27th with the Bend- La Pine school district. Our lives have taken many directions over the years, but we are excited to say we think we may have found the place where we can, as Tim McGraw sings "set this circus down". We started our move out of Walnut Creek in July, and made our trek up to Bend on August 7th.... and are (almost) moved in! A special thanks to both of our parents who made the drive up here with us to help with the move! It has been a crazy summer of retirement, graduation, the birth of a new nephew (Ryan Alexander Sperry), and twin niece and nephew Liam Nathaniel & Olivia Lauren Moses), packing, saying our good byes, moving, and unpacking- but we are having the time of our lives. As sad as it was to say goodbye to everything we know and love in California, we are so excited to be in a place as wonderful as Bend! We will use this blog to keep you updated on our new life up here, as well as all the fun reasons we are learning to love Bend.

Here are a few pictures of our move, I will post more when we get our new home all put together!
