Good-bye Michigan...Hello Alabama

Sadly we are unhooking the computer now so I won't have access to email until we are all settled in. I can't believe the move is here, we leave tomorrow afternoon. You will all be missed dearly but there is always and open door if you'd like to come and visit.

Please pray for us while we are traveling down. The next time we post it will be from Alabama.

We love you all!!!

Packing up

It's been snowing like crazy today so I figured I'd finish up packing what we aren't going to need for the next week. I've been putting the boxes in our laundry room so they would be out of the way but I'm running out of space. Better find another spot or I won't be able to get to the washer:o)

The walls are bare, we're down to just the necessities. We sold our living room furniture this week so we've been watching TV on the floor. The kids are loving the extra room to run around and be wild.

I've been reminiscing as I pack up each box. Our house has changed so much over the years. Each room has been at least three colors, new carpet, new windows, and the list goes on. This is where both my babies have grown up and it's going to be very sad to leave.

I can't believe we're down to only 10 days left!

Our house in Alabama

Thought I'd post a picture of our new house in Alabama. Not the greatest picture (Luke's not a professional like his Sis) but it will do for now. I haven't even seen it in person. But I totally trust Luke. He's done such an amazing job finding us a house and figuring it all out. We are just leasing for the fist year but I'm still super excited to move in plus, there is a pool right across the street. More pictures to follow later.

Alabama

Well, I'm starting this blog for all our friends and family. A place where you can see our latest pictures and adventures in Alabama. I still can't believe this is really happening. I'm sure it will hit me as we are driving away in our Uhaul. I'll probably cry the whole 15 hours down.

I'm both excited and sad about this new journey in our lives. So many changes and lots to look forward to but at the same time being 1000 miles away from the people we are closest to. I promise to do my best to keep in touch with you all just remember we will be an hour behind. If you call at 8am your time I'll just be waking up:o)

You are all welcome to come and visit ANYTIME. It will be nice and warm year around. Plus we are only 35 minutes from Gulf Shores, the most beautiful beach I've ever been to.

Thank you everyone for your support and prayers. This past year has been pretty crappy and finally some doors are opening up for us. We are going to miss everyone so much. We love you all!!!
