So, Ya want the news? The big news mentioned a month or so ago?

Well, we're moving to Michigan. Yep. We're off on a family adventure to conquer the Great Lakes state. Well, almost definitely we are going, kind of. I have decided not to bore all of you with constant moving woes (well, we'll see how that goes).

I have tons of pictures to share, and lots to catch ya'll up on... so stay tuned.
Meanwhile, here is the article that inspired me to return to the blogosphere, I felt it had to be repeated (again, and again, and again).
