one small step

sorry i left y'all hangin' for so long.  (see, i'm practicing my southern accent).  i just got back from a reconnaissance mission in alabama.  i spent mucho hours driving around looking at schools and houses.  no i do NOT want to put the kids back in school.  but in trying to find a good solution for luigi, some other changes might have to be made in order to keep the home dynamic livable.  no decisions have been etched in stone yet.  i'll keep you posted as things progress.  i found a house to fall in love with.  we can't buy because of the nastiness we went through with jersey.  but this place is available for lease until we can save up a down payment, so we're excited about that.  contracts haven't been signed yet, but once they are, i'll send y'all a link to some pics.  it was a long, exhausting week, but all in all it was productive and enjoyable.  i had a full week of sunny 85 degrees, had great food, met great people, discovered a fantastic art museum, visited a couple farmers markets, attended the birmingham temple, and made fabulous memories with an irreplaceable friend!

i was so glad to be able to visit with the practice a couple of times.  no matter what worries or hesitations or fears i have regarding this move, talking to them always brings me peace.  i am definitely grateful for that.

Hey you. been a long time. we think of you guys all the time. finally checking in after months and months. WOW- lots going on for you guys. Yay for a great practice to join. Alabama? Crazy. Hey, wherever life takes ya is great. I am sure you guys will love it there. I bet you are so ready to finally get settled. I just put ya in my google reader so now I can keep tabs on you after all these months. Hope the kids are well. miss them lots. Tell them hello from all of us. I am sure Marz is getting so big (but Anna is probably a whole head taller- she is a giant). Keep in touch.

Can you believe how beautifully things work out in the end? It's so amazing. I hope that next year we'll be able to make a recovery report as exciting as yours. Seriously, it's stupendous!!!
