It's Official

We are moving! To Fort Wayne, Indiana! Ben starts his new job there in three weeks. I will follow him there when school gets out. In the meantime Ben's new employer will fly him back for the weekends so we won't be alone for the entire three weeks. We are really excited about this but sad at the same time to leave such good friends here. The best thing about this is the new job. It is a great company and we will finally (after four years) have Ben back! His four hour commute every day for the last 14 months has been really hard on him and us. He will truly have his weekends with his family and we can eat dinner together every night. So, until we have more news on houses I might not be updating any time soon. We have to put our house on the market and I have to get it ready to show. Lots and lots of work on top of regular life and helping at the kids school. Okay, that's all for now!

I am so out of it. I thought he was working in Chicago and your house already was on the market and you were going to move to Chicago. What did I miss? BUT, Congratulations, that is SO exciting. 14 hours is a super long day. John is regularly gone 11 hours a day and that is super long for me. Tell Ben next time to look in Utah :)

Loved, loved Fort Wayne for the short 10 months we got to live there. And you'll be 4 hours closer to me!!!

Excited for you...sad for us! Too many friends moving this year. Ok...sorry...I'll stop being selfish. I'm thrilled that you and your girls will get to see Ben every night. That is huge. I don't know what I'd do if Nick was gone 14 hours each day---he is only gone 10 and I wish it was less. We'll miss you but I hope you have extra space or at least a big back yard because you WILL be getting some visitors!
