Home is Where Your Husband Is

We got some really unexpected news last week...we're moving back home!

MacGyver was approached about and interviewed for a lead engineer position a few weeks ago.  Things have just fell right into place ever since, and he accepted a job at the beginning of last week.  It's all happening really quickly, but things are working out really well.  It's one of those times when you just need to take a step back and recognize the Lord's hand in your life.

Do NOT even get me started on the quality of this pic.  One of my darling offspring decided to play with my camera and messed up the settings.  I've since fixed it.

We were never really planning to move back home, but we're actually pretty excited about it.  We've loved our time here in the Buckeye state.  On the top of the list for us has been living so close to some of our very best friends.  We've seen them nearly every weekend since we've lived here, and it's just been so wonderful.  We're going to miss them terribly.

At a rooftop party yesterday.  Don't we have the coolest friends?!?

But on the bright side, I won't be spending so much time driving back and forth to visit family.  We traveled home much more often than I thought we would.  And we still own our home, so we get to move back in.  It's tiny cozy, but we're looking forward to the low mortgage payment.  And the low taxes in a good school district.  You've just gotta love the midwest.

And the view.  You've gotta love this view.

We were thinking we'd have to live with family for a few months, but our renter just told us he's going to move out next week.  Seriously so awesome.

The icing on the cake is that the new company is paying off our lease + packers + movers.  We've never had anything like that before, and it's kinda fun to move without any of the stress.  I like spending my energy planning how I want to decorate instead of throwing my crap into boxes.

It feels weird to be moving from this great community {it's seriously wonderful}, but it really does feel like we're moving back home.
