We're finally back!

Well its been a while since our last blog. Sorry about that everyone...we'll get better about this now that things have settled down some.

We had a wild couple of weeks. Moving day was CRAZY! Jason and Ryan took the MEGABUS down to help us move, we really appreciated that help, I think we'd STILL be moving if they hadn't come! It was fun to get to spend some time with them again too.

It was hard to say goodbye to all our friends down there in IL, but ultimately we feel very confident this was the right move. Packing up the truck took about twice as long as we had hoped which put us WAY behind. Its amazing how much stuff you have. We got rid of so much and we still had so much stuff. The truck didn't roll into MN until about 11 pm so unpacking was not an option until Sunday (opening day for the NFL). The next morning we managed to get about four people to come and help us unpack the truck and put everything into our storage unit and we were even done by around 10 am so we were home for the games!

We are so glad to be done with the moving phase for now...its such a tiring process...though we realize we have another move in front of us in the next 6 months (we think). Our next one should be much easier though as most of our stuff is still in boxes in storage!

Well for those of you who don't know, we are living at Meghan's parents house in White Bear Lake. It's not a bad set up. We have two bedrooms, our own bathroom, and a living room area that is pretty much our own space in the basement. Obviously living on our own would be ideal, but we are SO thankful for Meghan's parents for helping us during this transition. We do feel very thankful for how God has answered our prayers in providing a home for us to live in, getting us back in MN, and finding someone to rent our house. The process didn't go like I would have scripted it, but ultimately he took care of us and I am sure I will look back on it and see the amazing wisdom in why it happened.

Right now we are back in WI for our FINAL trip out of town until likely Christmas. I think of all the great things about MN, this is my favorite. I am so exhausted from all our travelling while living in IL, so now the only time we have to travel is to visit my family (rather than both of our families). We have a shower for Meghan today and then Eliya's birthday party later in the day so today will be busy but Sunday should be relaxing...well as long as the Twins can get some wins!
