We are Moving!

Well this has been a LONG process, but after many months our prayers have been answered and Ryan has just accepted a position with ComEd, the energy company for Northern IL. He will be their new Energy Efficiency Program Manager, in charge if their whole territory of Northern IL. We will be living in Lockport, which is about 30 miles southwest of downtown Chicago. We are VERY excited for the fun new experiences and to be close to Steve and Kori and the kids! However we are also very sad to be leaving our amazing family and friends here in Michigan. I know I have said it before in this blog, but I think I have the most amazing in-laws anyone has ever had, and it is so sad to not be 10 minutes away from them! At least the trip to our house is only 4 hours. We will also miss our wonderful ward which took us in from the beginning and became like family. We are looking forward to getting to know the wonderful people of the Lockport area though! I think one of the most amazing parts of this new blessing is included in the hiring offer was a FULL relocation package! This has been the biggest blessing because it is allowing me to spend precious time with the loved ones we are leaving and not having to stress at all about packing and moving. We have been through some trials leading up to this blessing, but once again the Lord has proved that as we have faith in Him, he will always provide when we need it. I feel so incredibly blessed I get choked up every time I think of all that has happened and how the Lord once again truly had a hand in our lives and lead it to exactly where we were supposed to be. So about one week from today we will be off on our new adventure in life and just excited to see what the future holds!

Here is a picture of the new townhouse we were blessed to find to rent. We are so excited!
