A wonderful trip to the Temple. Gracie's boyfriend/best friend ever/buddy, Rodnie, watched the kids all day long. He came prepared with books, games, and music. Cori and I had a nice drive down to Detroit. Our visit to the Temple was well timed, as we have had some decisions to make. We both felt a lot of peace regarding the changes and new challenges ahead. It was really nice having 8 uninterrupted hours in the car to talk about things.
Illinois, here we come. Cori is accepting the position. The wheels will really start turning next week. I try not to focus on the immediate work ahead: selling the house, packing the house, buying a house, unpacking into a new house, saying good bye to our friends here who have 
become family to us... Instead I try to focus on the great opportunity this is for Cori, the proximity we will have to Chicago (about 90 minutes), and the new friends and experiences ahead.

A new nephew, Hunter, was born this week. Such a blessing! I'm starting to feel a little hungry for a newborn... Congratulations Brittany and Cory! (And to Natalie and Heather who also welcomed new wee ones recently!)

Oh my goodness! You are moving to Illinois!? You haven't been there that long!
SERIOUSLY????? OHMYGOSH!!! I was just startin' to plan my trip to Mackinac Island! (Okay, in my dreams, but it was on my life's list! hee hee) Congrats, that's wonderful, and I bet your ward is already in mourning. I can't wait to hear about your adventures! Best of luck in everything.
Had an hour long talk with president tonight... how blessed are we that we know this man?! (and his wife!)
Oh my goodness! Congratulations on your big decision and good luck with everything. I wish I was there to help (and to steal adorable Gracie and Grant away to let you pack). :)
And I hear you on being hungry for a newborn. :) Any other blessings you'd like to share?? :):)
I am so happy for your new opportunity but sad that you won't be posting more Michigan photos... Chicago is going to have alot of awesome opportunities for you though...
I think it goes without saying how sad I am about you leaving and what an empty hole your family is going to leave (Who will Lillian play with? Who will Kaden date?). My life is definitely better for having had you in it, no matter how short the time has been. Besides, it is only a nine-hour drive...totally doable and we both know how I love to talk on the phone! :)
That having been said, I am so happy for you guys and this opportunity that Cori will have in his career. We are very excited for you guys and this new chapter in your lives!
Congratulations on your decision to move. Funny how life always turns out differently than you think it will, huh? How soon will you be out of Michigan? We have been looking for an excuse to get out to Chicago.... :o) Glad the temple trip went well.
Congratulations on the new location! We really wish it was Phoenix but Illinois will be a great experience for your family.
Natalie had her baby!? What did she have? I loved reading her blog until she recently took me off her private list (completely understandable she doesn't even know me). But it was right before she had her baby and I really want to know if she had a boy or a girl. Please fill me in!
Huzzah! This is very exciting. I am going to check my finals schedule and see how soon I can get up there for Christmas. I'll call you soon. We have much to discuss...
Congratulations on the new job opportunity! We are getting anxious to go through this same process... only we have 6 more months to wait. Visiting Mackinac Island was also on my to do list..maybe you may just have to go visit with Miss Millie and I later..
Good luck packing and getting ready! When do you have to be there?
Oiy! I anticipated the day you'd move, but I haven't even gotten your e-mail address yet. Having just been through a huge move myself with two children, I know how challenging it can get. Let me know if I can help.
Wow, congrats on the move, what a big change it will be! At least you won't be seeking desperately for a OB this time! Good luck with all you have ahead of you. And I know what you mean about being baby-hungry.... I have recently been surrounded by brand new nieces and nephews and now I'm dying!
