Optimistic in Oklahoma (catchy phrase eh?)

So for those of you who don't know, which is most everybody, I thought I should do a little update of what has been happening in our household. Everything went rather quickly and in the end we feel really optimistic about the next six months. Ryan decided to take a summer job and work for a sales company formerly known as APX, and has now branched out to bigger and better products and has become Vivant. He will be going with a team to work in Oklahoma City starting in April and will be gone for four and a half months. He will only come home for one visit at the end of June to join my family for a trip to Havasupai Falls. This trip will celebrate something different for most of my other family members, but for us we will be celebrating Ryan's 30th birthday. After hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and then climbing back out again, we will return home, get our girls, and head back to Oklahoma City. The girls and I will live with him for the month of July, and then head home for the last month of the summer. He will finish his work and then be done come September. Big news for us. It's tough times out there and we're hoping this is just the ticket we need to get ahead so Ryan can pursue more of his business passions. The photo below is a little irrelevant to this update, but it shows how beautiful Havasupai is and why our summer will revolve around this two night trip.

I know Ryan will have a very successful summer and it will be worth the separation. And happily you have Havasupi to look forward to! I'm excited to see a lot of you and the girls while he's gone.

Wow you are one brave woman! Hopefully we can have many play dates to give you little breaks. Our favorite is picnics at the park. We usually walk so I can get a little exercise and the girls get to play. Good luck!

This will be such a fun adventure for both of you. We are still sad that your not coming to Florida with us, but I know he will be successful- wherever he is. Good luck with being apart for so long. Havasupi will be amazing and so beautiful!

Big changes coming to the Bundy family but it's not like you haven't done it before. I'm proud of Ryan for working so hard and you for running everything at home while he's gone. That can't be easy!! Play dates and projects are a must. I'm sad you'll be leaving us in July but happy you get to be a family for part of the summer. SO many adventures coming your way. . .I'm excited for you!
