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.

Okay Chelsy, I am already crying!! I know you are so excited, but I am so sad you're leaving. Rylee will miss Zack as well! I'm sure I'll see you one more time before you leave, but just in case...you've been an awesome friend and I will always cherish that! Have a safe move!

Wow Chelsy, I can't believe you're leaving already!! Along with Rylee, Bauer's going to miss Zack, too! He still talks about how it's "Zack's fire station" whenever we drive by!

Yay! I'm glad you're on your way back! You have to give me a call when you get settled in a little bit...we would love to have you come over. Jaxon would love to play with Zack and Brynn would have fun playing with Reagan too! I think we should do a Christmas get together dinner thing again this year too! Call me!
