Moving... and things pertaining to it

   As most of you have probably heard by now, we are moving back to Missouri! We got an offer to farm that we couldn't refuse! We have thought that someday we would go back to farm but we just didn't know when things would open up. Hubby will be farming together with his Uncle so that is something to look forward to! And even tho farming is a lot of work we are looking forward to the lifestyle it brings. Also we are going to be moving right back into the same house we lived in before!=) Someone was planning on buying it from Grandpa and then a couple months ago they decided they wouldn't buy it after all. So guess it is waiting for us!
   We are really excited to think of living close to family again and enjoying good times spent together! It will be fun to run over to folk's for supper or the day or whenever! Hubby's folk's, Grandparent's, and some Uncle's and Aunt's and cousin's live there! Also my Uncle  and Aunt, B & D and boys, who we are really close to, live there, too!
   I have to admit I do have really mixed feelings tho... This definitely has been home... I (we) have some very good friends here that will be hard to leave. Also, we love the congregation here! It is small enough that it kind of feels like family. So I have happy and sad days about going... I wouldn't trade having lived here for anything tho! Even tho it has been short we both feel like it has been a stepping stone, maybe even a growing point for us. And I am so glad for the friends I have made and they will always be very special!
   No, we do not have a date set yet. We are aiming for the first couple weeks in October. Hubby is working till the end of September and then we will get things around after that. I have been going thru some closets and packing stuff up we won't be using any more. I think Hubby's folks are planning to come help us move so our date also depends a little on when they can come as they still have soy bean harvest to do.
   Yesterday my dear friend SE and I spent the day shopping together! It was so relaxing and fun! Had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen, bought things we didn't really need (LOL), tried all sorts of fun things on and of course, talked! We don't have many more of these times left so are enjoying the time we do have!
   I will try an keep you updated on when we are going to move and how things are coming along! As you probably have noticed, when things get busy around here I have a hard time keeping up with my blog... Will see what I can do tho!=)
