In a Nutshell

Whew...so, it's been awhile. I know. So much has happened over the last month...I've been trying to think of some really profound or funny things to say to capture everything that has gone on...but what it boils down to is this...

  • Asher and I moved to NC on 4/29/10. Steve and Saela moved on 5/27/10. I would not like to repeat this type of separation again. Ever. It already makes me teary thinking of Saela turning 18...
  • In my humble opinion, NC weather blows MI weather out of the water.
  • Taking oral exams is not that much of a good time - but being able to see your family (and meet the newest addition) after your done is priceless.
  • Seeing your best friends unexpectedly and on the fly is one of the best surprises one can receive. It's such a repeated warm fuzzy to know that even though thousands of miles physically separate you - those you hold most dear are only seconds away in your heart.
  • My baby boy turned ONE. What.is.up.with.that? Pictures coming soon...
  • Saela is a "list" girl - just like her mommy. However, she does like to go shopping - she must get that from her daddy. How is it that she's almost 3?
  • Unpacking after you move seems to be a never ending process.
  • Dog hair is ever present.
  • Church on Saturday rocks...this opens up TWO potential days for sleeping in...
  • Really enjoying your job is way better than just surviving your job.
  • God is always there.

Where we'll be in a year is still up in the air - but we are going to enjoy NC and the Southeast while we are here...I see a trip to the beach in our future! :) With much love to all...we hope you are doing well.

Hello and welcome to North Carolina! Are you close to the Raleigh area?? Joe still talks about working with Steve and Sean, and the fun you guys used to have!! I show him pictures from the blog of your two gorgeous children, so he can keep up with things. (You know how men are!!) We are blessed with 5 grandchildren of our own, so know how precious these little ones are. Joe's e-mail is yosko01@embarqmail.com and he would love to hear from Steve. Take care and God Bless!!

Thanks for one last parting shot at Michigan. Enjoy NC and hopefully we'll see you during football season! Take care.
