I think many of you know that we've been in limbo for a couple months now about a potential promotion for Ben involving another relocation. The final word is in.... today Ben officially accepted a position in Knoxville, TN.
We are mixed in emotions about this. While we are a little sad to be leaving the Midwest for the first time in our lives and even more sad to be moving farther away from our wonderful families, we are so excited to begin this new chapter.
I am not sure what the next month or two of my life will look like. Ben officially starts his new position next week (!), so he will most likely be doing some traveling back and forth between the two states as he tries to wrap up his current position and transition to the new position. We have two different realtors coming to see us this weekend to help us get the house quickly on the market. We're going to have to take one step at a time, tackling one decision at a time. This may be my mantra for the next few weeks.

(Not to mention how well Patty was received in TN...she will probably be encouraged to visit frequently YEE-HAW!)
I woke early this morning, stewing about how we will be able to spend the maximum time with you and Ben and the kidlets and just worrying about life. Things seems so much more worrisome at 5am!!
I am so proud of Ben and how well he's done - I never doubted that he would get whatever job he interviewed for. And we will just have to make more road trips!
We will be ready and willing to help out any way we can. I wish we could help out with the kids in March - go figure that the 4 days that I definitely can't help are the 4 days that you are going to be gone. Life is certainly funny.
Congratulations - and I will see you tomorrow.
Love,
Patti
As a veteran of many moves (although not with three kids!), it all eventually does work out. I hope it means I see more of Nini as well.

Interestingly, half our family lives there and we've talked about moving there several times. So, maybe we'll be "neighbors" again sometime.

When we get back home, I will help you out anyway I can! Use my house till then to escape from showings-
Love ya'll!
