Well it's been a while since I've posted on the blog, so I thought I'd give the reason why. First, we went on Vacation to Yellowstone and that was incredible! Thanks to my in-laws for providing the cabins for our stay! We truly had a great time and made many memories that we will look back on. I will post more pictures of that family reunion later.
But the big new is, drumroll please. . . .
We are moving to TUCSON AZ!! And we already sold our house!! We are all leaving here on August 8th. This process has been quite the whirlwind. Seth got a job offer back in June but could not say anything until he passed his security clearance, which is not given until 30-45 days before the starting date. So we had to put our house on the market without really telling people (kind of on the sly). While we were gone to Yellowstone we put the house on the market and 9 days later, we had a contract!! That is crazy in this market! We feel so blessed that we will not have to spend any time apart from Seth. However, it has put us into quite a shock. We are quickly leaving friends and a place we have grown to love over the years. We came to the Chicagoland area with one little baby Mandy and are now leaving with FIVE little Marks kids. It is quite overwhelming.
So that's the big news! We are doing our best to say good bye to all the wonderful friends in Crystal Lake. I'm so grateful for the internet and e-mail that will help us all keep in touch!
