Time flies on wings of lightening

Especially when you are surround by good friends and people who will drop everything to help you. Thank you to all of you out here in Michigan who made it just that much better to be here. We came here not knowing anyone and we are leaving with friendships that will last forever.

It doesn't really seem like it has already been 2 1/2 years. And now in just 6 days the kids and I will fly home for the last time from Michigan. It's been fun out here and we were so blessed for the opportunity, but we are ready to begin the next chapter...one that includes a paycheck and no student loans.

I have to admit that I love packing everything up, it gives me the chance to get rid of things and deep clean. I have already made 3 car loads to good will (it helps that it is just down the street) and I have thrown away atleast 10 trash bags thus far. I LOVE throwing things away (especially clutter) and reorganizing everything. We are definatley leaving with less stuff than we came out here with.

Thank you to everyone out here. It was a fun ward to be in and definatley the only one of it's kind. It's sad knowing there are so many new people I haven't gotten to know. But our paths may cross again.

and that's a wrap

OK, These are posted backwards. But oh well, atleast they are posted. What a busy month! I am semi glad it is over with Reagan's bday, Zack's bday, and all of the halloween festivities, it was a really busy month. That is really all I have to say about that.

Here is Zack with some dracula teeth he got, we decided the red eye was a nice touch...
A quick trip to patriarche park for some fun pics....
















We went to impression 5..... Zack decided that day he wanted to be an army guy instead of a fireman. Thank heaven most of the costumes were on sale. Thanks again mindy for Reagan's cute costume. I got so many comments on it!















Dance Pary to Jock Jams...Zack got into this way more than I thought he would have. It has now become a daily event. Reagan even had fun shakin' her booty.



Pumpkin Carving: Reagan and Zack both really enjoyed themselves. Reagan wasn't afraid to dig right in, and even tried a few pumpkin seeds.
