Goodbye, Michigan! You guys have NO IDEA how long I've been waiting to say that! We're moving to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at the end of June and couldn't be more nervous and excited at the same time. Jobs have been secured :
(I will be a Dean at Inspire Academy, the new school my company is opening in August)
The boys will be attending the primary school that funnels into Damon's school and we've sent down the application fee and deposit for our rental home.

This huge turn of events really makes a big dent in THE LIST.

Numbers 4 and 5 will also be crossed off, but I'm waiting until July (or whenever the school is finished) for those. Number 3 will be complete in December, and we hope to cross off Number 1 after a year of living in BR.
We've been so busy lately with cleaning up, throwing away, posting on Craigslist, and trying to finish out the school year strong. We still can't decide if we want to move ourselves of if we should stick with the company we've hired, and we're planning a get together for family and friends to say goodbye.

Congrats on the dean position and on D's new job. I am sure you two will love the move down south. Enjoy!
So happy for you, although we will miss you!
