R and I have been vacationing here at my sister's for the last 16+ years. Not only does my sister live here in snowy Michigan, but so does my Aunt, Uncle and cousins, and my Mom is only 30 mins away in South Bend, IN. So every time we have come up to visit we stay with my sister and her family, some years up to 2 weeks at a time.
In the last few years we have talked about what it would be like to move up to this area closer to my family. Then this summer, R started a job search right in the middle of our summer trip to Erin's. There is one large company with their world headquarters right here just 10 miles away from her house. So, hey, why not add them to the list of companies where he should apply for jobs? Maybe it will work out. Well it did.
Things have moved along fast from there. He got the job offer and 3 weeks later we were in MI. It took R and I a lot of discussions and prayer to decided to ask Erin if we could live with them for an undetermined time period. At first we thought he and W would head up to MI and the girls and I would stay in VA till the house was either rented or sold. But we did not like the idea of our family being separated for an undetermined time period, and paying both rent and a mortgage was not an option. We figured all we could do was ask, and pray, if the answer was no, then we would go with the original plan. But then they said yes. Now this is an adventure.
