Whirlwind Move

Well. We figured this would happen...again. The Mr. Was made aware of a position in another state with the same company, began looking into it and interviewing for it. Then, within 2 weeks, had a final interview with his prospective employer. At the interview he was offered the job and they wanted him to be there to start work within 2-4 days. He flew home from the interview, we talked it over, he accepted the job, then we drove out the next day to get him started at work. Thankfully, the boys and I weren't doing much that we couldn't easily leave (except Joy School... We miss that). 

We spent 6 days in the area, mostly looking at houses and meeting with our real estate agent, lender, and insurance agent. However, we did have some fun: like playing on the stairs in our hotel, and visiting fun playgrounds as we explored the area.

My mother-in-law is the best. She drove 12 hours to pick the boys and I up, take us back to Chicago, and help us pack up and move in 3 days. Then she drove us back. Isn't she amazing?!

On our way back, we needed a rest stop, So we pulled off the interstate into this tiny town... And ran into a fall farmers market/festival! It was a great pit stop!!!

(Note the camel...)

Upon returning to the Mr. and the hotel, we had a quick birthday party for Goose before grandma left. He sure loved the tissue paper!

Whew! We are glad that is over, but we are so grateful for all those who helped us out (and for our Chicago friends who stopped to say goodbye or who called). You all were my favorite part of the city!
