I have been wracking my brain for a more creative way to make this announcement but it just wasn't coming. So, after 17 years in the great state of North Dakota we are now moving to the great state of Minnesota!
Lee has informed me that it has now been 36 weeks since he began commuting down to the cities, leaving the kids and I here Monday to Thursday. I think we would all agree that it has been 36 very loooooooooooong weeks without a Daddy and a husband during the week!
The Lord has provided a lovely house in the Twin cities, with a bigger kitchen (thank you especially for answering that request of this mom, Lord!) and lots of rooms and lots of yard to run and play. All of the children and I are so excited to be with Lee and be all together as a family again!
We will miss our friends here sooooo much. I can't even begin to imagine life without all of you! You have taken Lee and I through some very difficult times. When we moved here, we were newly married with no children and only a cat. After years of infertility, the Lord chose to suddenly pack in 7 children in 12 years time! Its been an incredible journey that we have been on, but I wouldn't want it to be any different. Life with Jesus is anything but boring! Now, we are leaving with a bunch of kids and of course, a cat!
As of now, the plan is to start the move right after Memorial Day. It will be crazy busy in our household for awhile and I am thinking the blog posts in the next couple months might be a bit scarce....(ha, ha....like I post that often anyway!) So, if it looks like we've dropped off the planet, don't give up on us....we're still around!
