Farewell fellow Iowans :(

So it's official, I can't deny it anymore. We're moving. Half (or more) the house is packed, we pick up and pack the truck on Tuesday and leave Wednesday morning. If you live in Iowa come help us pack up the truck, Tuesday at 6pm.
I absolutely love Iowa. I never thought I would end up here, but I love it. We are in a great stake and have met many wonderful people. I will really miss the friends that we have made here. I have grown so much and learned from yall. If I didn't get a chance to say goodbye, I'm sorry. I've been trying to avoid thinking about it. It's very scary to move to a small town with an even smaller branch. I'm going to have to learn how to met people in the community again. I can't just rely on church and my girls aren't school age yet, so we'll have to find some play groups and meet our neighbors and stuff like that. I'm sure I'll love Wisconsin after I get used to it, but for now it's scary and stressful.
I will miss you all, continue writing on your blogs (or start one if you haven't), I love to read them. I'll keep mine up too. If your ever in Wisconsin or want to come up, give us a call we love visitors!
Here's a beautiful picture of the view from our porch. This was after a huge storm that swept through here. It was 9:00 at night but very bright outside. Beautiful.

I can't believe that you are leaving already. I feel like I just got to know you. At least we have blogs to keep up with each other. I was going to tell you the other day that I grew up in a really small branch (like 30-40 people) and it was nice to know everyone so well. It might be lots of fun and you can start all your own play groups!
