I'm Moving To Michigan...

Hi everyone,

So it's finally time to give you an update on my life.

My boss, Jen, got laid off a month ago and is now staying home with Hugh. That leaves me looking for a job (don't worry, they love me and took care of me so I could get by for a while :) ). However, I haven't been able to find a job here. So after alot of thinking and figuring things out, I have decided to move with my mom in Grand Rapids, MI. I'm very excited about this decision and getting to spend time with my mom and stepdad and his family there. There are surprisingly alot of nanny jobs there, so I'm sure I'll be able to find something. I'll be leaving April 24th and should get there by the 25th or 26th. My Aunt Judy is flying down and driving with me.

So that's the latest on what's going on with me. Wish me luck. :) PS...I'm going to really miss my friends that I've made here, but I'm sure I'll be back to visit.
