Operation Homeward Bound Update

I have great news... Jack got a job.  He is going to be able to stay with J&J and work from home in MI.  We are so excited!  Everything seems to be falling into place, now if only we could find a place to live.  :)

Jack was out of town last weekend visiting our friends Ryan and Ryann.  So... I got busy improving the curb appeal of our house.  My friends Chandra and Adam volunteered to help me tackle some landscaping.  Thank you guys!

Here is our handy work...

Wordless Wednesday (... or Monday) :)

Homeward Bound!

The rumors are true, we are moving to Michigan!  

We are so excited about our new adventure, but so sad to leave our friends in Arkansas.  We have lived and worked in AR for four years and have grown to love the area and the people.  I will miss dinners with our neighbors, walks with friends at the Bentonville trails, softball games, dog parties, nights on dickson and countless other memories with friends.    

I will be taking a job in Brand Management at headquarters in Battle Creek, MI, starting at the end of April.  Between the move and our Europe trip we are busy, busy, busy.  First thing is first, we are working on getting our house on the market.

That is about all I know for now.  I will keep you updated through our move.

In the meantime wanna buy a house?  :)

Keep praying for Ally!   She is starting chemo tomorrow.  Thank you for all your prayers.

Prayers for Ally

Most of you know that Jack and I LOVE our neighbors.  We all stick together and look out for each other.  A bonfire and s'mores night with the neighbors on our back deck is commonplace in the summer.  We are so lucky to have the Brown's and Courtney's as our friends.  

Late last week sweet, smiley Ally was rushed down to Little Rock children's hospital.  She was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer (Wilms Tumor) and had surgery Monday to remove her left kidney and part of her colon.  It looks like she is going to have 18-24 weeks of chemotherapy ahead of her to beat the cancer.

Please pray for her and her family.  Ally also has a newborn baby brother and two other siblings so mommy and daddy have their hands full and need your prayers too.  Ally is always smiling, she is daddy's little girl and she is one of the most compassionate and caring 5 year olds I have ever met.

Jack and I are going to visit Ally and her family this weekend. 

Please pray, pray pray for our little Ally!
