Finally, this journey in the mid west is almost over. We will be heading to Georgia mid June and can't wait to go. Greg will be relocating with the company Caterpillar to a town called Griffin. We have heard it is a smaller town with most shopping about 20 minutes away. That sounds great to us, last year any real shopping (unless you count Wal-Mart) was 45-1hr 20 minutes away. We have been looking forward to this move, or any move, since we arrived in Illinois. In a few weeks we will go on a getting-to-know-you trip to Georgia to find a place to rent. It will only be Greg and I. Over this past year we felt like we have missed out in building our friendship. He is my best friend, but I hardly see him. He works so much. One of his longest work days was this last Monday. He got up at 7:30 to head to school until 10:00 am, came home, helped with the kids, took a short nap, got up, ate and took off for work at 2:00 pm, came home at 5:00am slept for an hour and than had to be back at work by 7:00 am. He was there for an hour, came home and slept for another hour and than had to be back at work at 11:00am. Truly that is a hard working man. He is amazing, but like I said, we need some time together. Hopefully we will find a place quickly so we can just relax. Our last move here to Illinois was a huge headache. We lived in Motel 6 with our dog for a month. And yes, at one point a tornado was heading our way. I thought I was going to die in the Motel 6's nasty bathroom. Greg, Riley and I could barely squeeze into it(mainly because I was huge with child)and our poor dog was outside the door. His whimper was mixed with the horrific siren screaming our impeding doom. Hopefully that experience will never be repeated. Anyway, Riley and Carter will stay at home with Nana(my mom). I can't thank my mom enough for flying out to help us. She is seriously the coolest woman I have every met. I don't know how I got so lucky that she happened to be my mom, but I thank the Lord almost every night for the family that I was raised in ( and of course the family that I have)!

Very nice, congrats on the move. I hope you love georgia. Your tornado experience reminded me of our time in va. we did have a house, vs a motel 6 bathroom, so I think we got the better deal. hopefully you get settled into something safe before hurricane season. enjoy the adventure.

We can't wait to come visit you in Georgia. And that pix of Riley and Carter is so cute! We love and miss you!
Yay - I am glad you guys are leaving a place you are not happy. I am sure you will love Georgia (and all the bugs!) If you ever head out to Provo next year, you need to email us and let us know. Your kids are getting so big and so darn cute. We miss you guys but we are happy for you!
