Well, it's official - we're moving south! I accepted a new job a few weeks ago as the Asst. Director of HR for compensation, benefits and payroll at MN State University, Mankato. I am very excited for the new challenges this job will offer, but we have a lot of stuff to do on our current homefront. We told the boys our exciting news last night - and were pleasantly surprised by their reaction. As soon as Kale heard "Mankato", his first words were - "that's where Yoya (Lola) lives!" Nolan immediately started talking about all the new friends he'll make and the new school he gets to go to. We didn't tell them until we had a chance to tell Jane. We thought it would be helpful if she could talk to them about it, too. It was so sweet this morning when I dropped the kids off at Jane's house. Kale looked at her and said, "I'm going to miss you so much, Jane". I told her we are all going to miss Jane a lot. I know we will never replace her - she is one of a kind!
We have a lot of stuff to start working on in the meantime - like starting to pack and clean out our house so it can be put on the market! I've been a bit overwhelmed just thinking about it, so I haven't done a whole lot yet. Luckily I have a pretty fantastic husband who is also excited about the move and has already been working on some of the not so fun tasks - like cleaning out the laundry room and storage room! We made the decision earlier this week to send the kids to my parent's house for the weekend, so we can focus on cleaning and packing. We're going to have to stay focused, especially since we're both running in the Get Lucky 7K race in Minneapolis Saturday morning!
