Over the last few months Lori and I have had wonderful things happen to us as well as terrible things. For the last few weeks we just keep asking ourselves what could be next… Up or Down? The answer… Both
We found out that Josh a real real good friend of ours (and one of the ushers in our wedding) has been offered and accepted a job in Chicago Illinois. Josh starts his new job in a few weeks and his family will be following him to Chicago over the summer. Not to worry there are no plans to replace Josh in the wedding as he still plans on attending.
Lori and I are extremely excited for Josh, Kath, and Kaelyn. Opportunities like this don’t come all the time and are even harder to come by in this economy. We certainly wish them all the best and want them to know we will always be here for them. We also want them to know that we now have a reason to visit Chicago so if we show up on the door step one day don’t hide behind the furniture and pretend you are not home, please answer the door.
On the other side of the coin (and a little bit selfish) it is always sad when good friends move away. So at the same time we are so happy for them we are very sad. It will make board game nights, camping trips, and time we spend together just little bit further apart.

You know that Toledo is between Buffalo and Chicago right? We have a spare bed in Leilani's room and she can sleep on bottom bunk in Will's room... :-)
...and you know...Coopersville/Grand Rapids, MI isn't very far away either. Come visit a spell. We have 3 extra rooms to choose from. :O)
In the summer, Lake Michigan is absolutely a blast. Come play some beach volleyball with Jeff and me. Or... relax ... and let the sound of the seagulls and the waves crashing on the beach melt your cares away.
You almost made me cry. We are feeling much the same way actually. We're ver excted for the opportunity and the new location but we are so sad to leave behind all the people we love. And of course that includes you and Lori!
We expect that you will come visit and I promise we won't hide if you show up on the dooorstep, we'll welcome you both with open arms!
Dang it... you did make me cry.
