LEROY, MI

Ok, so we're still waiting on those pictures of the beach, but I'll get them on here soon, I swear! So, my time has been otherwise occupied by packing. . . Packing, you ask??? Why yes, let me elaborate. . . Adam got a new job!!!! He is going to be a branch manager for Citizen's Bank in Leroy. . . .WHERE, you ask? Why, let me explain. . . a little blip (a very pleasant blip) on the map about 20 miles south of Cadillac, MI. We are going to be living in his grandma's house, which is currently empty and I may be working as well pretty soon. . . .not sure about that yet! SOOOOOOOO, lots of big changes coming and coming FAST! We're going to be moving Labor Day weekend. So, forgive me that I have this fabulous new blog and I may be neglecting it for a while.

So, because I will be gone, I am going to need someone to: 1. bring jill diet coke. 2. bring jill chocolate. 3. bring jill ice cream. 4. bring jill to me in leroy. 5. take good care of jill. . . . I am going to miss her like crazy. Even though she doesn't want me to leave, she's so sweet that she brought me pizza today for lunch while I packed. Anyway, that's the latest news. . . fast and furious changes a comin'. . .hopefully with no need for upping the dosage, if you know what I mean. :)

Pictures to come!

We just got back from our week at the lake! It was fabulous family fun! I'll post pictures as soon as I get them downloaded. Jill, the battery in your camera died, are they real batteries or can I plug it in? Do you have a plug? Will I lose my pictures if I change the batteries? So many questions! So little common sense! :) So, anyway, pictures to come. . happy to be home. . . for a while, anyway.
