The verdict is.....

So we sat down on Tuesday night and went over everything.  We decided that this job in Indiana was to good of an offer to pass up so..... we will be moving.  We are happy and sad at the same time.  We have it so good here with wonderful, wonderful neighbors that are being missed already, a great ward that we have made many friends in, a nice neighborhood, great friends that have always been there for us and have shared many great pumpkin craving, ginger bread house building and volleyball bbq's with us.  We will miss everyone a ton but we will be back and we will make sure when we get out there we will get a house big enough so anyone and everyone that wants to come visit is more then welcome to.  We will definitely miss all our family.   We will miss all the family dinners and all the girls days out.  We will also miss the 5 minute drive to both our parents houses!  This will be a good move for us.  We will be able to make new friends, get to know a totally new area with many new places to explore.  One thing we have talked about and that we have heard people say is that we will be able to grow stronger as a family.  We are excited for this new adventure in our life!  Curt will leave the first of the year which is good he will be here for the Holidays and then I will stay back to sell the house.  So if any one knows someone who want a very cute house in a very good ward and subdivision let us know!  Thanks everyone for supporting us.  We will miss you all!

This is down town Crawfordsville!

And this is a really old jail that is a museum now.  Crawfordsville is a pretty small town compared to what we are use to, but it sounds like they have a lot of fun things they do.  It sounds like canoeing is a big thing out there.  There's a little creek that runs through town that people canoe on in the spring time.  They have a strawberry days, a taste of Montgomery County, and all kinds of other little town things.  Crawfordsville is also only about 50 minutes west on Indianapolis so we will have to go see some Colt's  games.  Crawfordsville is also only about 30 minutes south of Lafayette which is where Purdue University is.  Even though Crawfordsville is small we won't be too far from civilization!

sniff, sniff...sad for us but very exciting for you. I am envious of the adventure. I wish you all the luck in the world. Now I will really have something to look forward to reading this blog reading about all of your adventures and keeping in touch.

Congrats on the new job opportunity. It's hard living away from family, but it's also great. You will have some great opportunities that you wouldn't have back home. Enjoy this time and try not to stress too much!

Good luck with everything!

I am so sad! Now we will NEVER get together with friends, you guys are the one's keeping us all together! It will be a great adventure for you and hopefully you will be back to visit often and move back after your adventure is through. We miss you already.

So, you already know that we are mourning the loss of the best next door neighbors we have ever had - but thanks to Jeff's job, you can't get rid of us that easily! :) Congrats on the job - it will be a great opportunity for you guys.

Oh...I'll be sad to see you go! At least we have you for a couple more months!

We are going to miss you guys. I still can't believe you are going. We kept thinking oh, they are just looking, and we kept crossing our fingers for a good counter offer from Smiths. We are sad to see you go.

Oh man! You've been so close all this time and we never did get together. What a bummer. Let us know when you'll be around to visit and maybe we can have a big group get together next time you come back! I think that would be super fun!

Hey guys! Jut caught up with the move news in your mom's Christmas card. Crawfordsville is only a little over ONE HOUR from our house!! We are in Champaign (Savoy actually)! Emily says we'll have to go camping with you at Turkey Run. We are so excited and excited for the new baby too. It is just barely outside our Stake boundaries. Wow! Come on over and give us a call and we'd love to help out with whatever we can and etc. etc. etc. We love living here.
