We are finally achieving some plan for the coming months. I guess there is a lot of shuffling going on in this division of the company, and it has taken a little while to put the puzzle together. But Cori's official, tentative, if everything goes right, starting date has been set for the second week of December. With the simple declaration of this date the wheels have been set in motion and we have been able to make our holiday plans. These plans include spending both holidays right here in Michigan.
We've asked some MBA friends to make the trip allllll the way upstate to spend Thanksgiving with us, and they agreed! We are so excited to have them stay with us, and I am very excited to work with Stacy in planning our feast.
Then, we asked my family to make the trip alllll the way across the country to spend Christmas with us, and they agreed! I'm so grateful, and very excited for this as well.
In the meantime, we'll be putting this house up for sale, finding a new house in IL, and navigating all the relocation waters. Though Cori will start his new position before the Christmas holiday, we won't move until after it. Cori has begun his work transition. He has been busy getting projects and changes completed. This is the organizational announcement the site leader sent out:
It is with mixed emotions that I announce that Cori has accepted a new position in Honeywell. While I am disappointed to see Cori leave our organization in Boyne City I am also pleased that he has this new and well deserved career opportunity.
Cori’s new role will be as the HR Manager for the NWIL sites located in Freeport , Illinois . An exact start date has not been determined but he is expected to begin sometime in early December. We are aggressively working to find a backfill for Cori in Boyne City and hope to complete that transition before he must leave.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Cori for the numerous contributions he has made to the Boyne City site and our employees. Cori quickly jumped in the mix and became engaged in our business. His candor, fresh ideas and can do attitude was a clearly a positive influence on our site.
Please join me in thanking Cori and wishing him well in his new assignment!
It is starting to feel more real. There is just so much more to do this time around. When we moved from CA we had just 1 kid (although it was almost 2), a fraction of the stuff- or so it seems to me now, and an apartment manager to notify. And then, poof, we were here. Though it is nice having the time to plan now, I'm seeing the emotional benefits of the rip-the-band-aid-off experience of last Fall. It is hard tell my heart to get excited about going while at the same time telling it to stay entrenched in the present.
In other news, the kids and I made choco chip cookies today. It is a good thing I have some self control. I could have eaten Grant in two seconds. With a glass of milk.

Jesse,
While we are excited for this new chapter in your lives,we are very sad to see you go. We have enjoyed getting to know your family so much! I have to think of this as yet another vacation destination instead of friends leaving us!
Love you guys!

Goodness! I can't believe you guys are already moving again. It seems that time has just flown by so fast since you moved there. But I know you guys will do well in you new adventure. You guys seem to handle all of this stuff so well. I don't think I would handle as well as you. But good luck with everything and we will miss you guys this holiday season. Have a good one!
Good luck with everything!! It sounds like you'll have your hands full, but I know you can do it.
And please can I have some, too, with some milk?? soooo cute.
