The girls were sitting on the couch together so
Brad and I pulled their minature chairs up and sat down in front of them.
Me: Guess what girls?! Daddy and I have something very exciting to tell you!
L: Is it a prize for US?
Brad: Well, sort of. It is something that involves all of us. We are all going to be moving.
L & E: (No comment. Not much expression.)
Me: (Now in an exaggerated happy tone) Yes! Daddy got a new job and we are going to be moving to a new town with a new house! It's going to be wonderful and we are all going to be together and it's going to be great!
L: I don't want to leave the blueberry bush! I want to take the blueberry bush!
Me & Brad: Ok, we'll take it! We'll plant lots of blueberry bushes! Do you have any questions, concerns?
L: Nope. Ellenie, you want to go play with our princesses?!
E: Yeah!
It was that easy.
Of course, the decision to move and actually doing so will not be as easy.
It is very bittersweet as it's a great opportunity and closer to some family but we're leaving a community we just got settled in and will be farther from other family and friends.
We feel blessed by this and overwhelmed at having to do it.
We will miss our precious friends and our house and the familiarity of our daily life here.
We will cherish our memories here forever.

Congratulations to you both but where will you be heading now? I have really loved watching your girls grow up through the blog. They are absolutely precious and very photogenic.
Where are you guys moving?? Please let it be Chattanooga:)
Brandi - thanks for saying hi and I love keeping up with you on your blog too! Your family is precious!
Katie - hi! I can't believe you are moving out of your gorgeous house! Your girls are beautiful!
We are moving to TN - but not Chattanooga :( - where Brad will be CEO of a hospital within the system he's currently in. So it's a great opportunity - just can't believe it's here so soon after moving to Columbus. Where are you building Katie?
i heard this news and felt the mixed emotions for you! We'll be thinking about you through this transition...so glad you'll still be blogging so we can keep up with you.
What city in TN? Maybe we will be close enough for a visit! congrats to Brad...that is awesome news for him!! I will be praying for you guys as you transition to a new place.
