My Old KY Home

Dear Michigan,

When we first met, I wasn't too fond of you. I saw you as a cold, isolated state, full of unfriendly people. I saw you as simply a place to live for 2-5 years. And while I know you were never meant to hold our family roots... I have softened.

Over the past two and three quarters years... I learned of the beauty of your shoreline and lakes. I love that your people go on vacation to their own special Up North every weekend of your comfortable summer. I found that while many of your residents did lack tact or kindness... You also have some of the most genuine people who I know get to call friends. And you are home to some amazing medical professionals who allowed God to work through their hands, giving me my son.

Michigan, thank you for letting us live here, for blessing us with jobs, amazing friends, fond memories, and the most handsome little souvenir a woman could ask for. But don't worry we'll come back to make another baby or two, God willing, and for a summer vacation Up North!

With great respect,

Kelly

That's right folks. Our time in Michigan is coming to an end at the end of April. We're heading back to KY where we plan on planting some roots (at least regionally... We will never again leave KY/TN area.) This move is definitely a God move. We're trusting fully in Him that this is the right move at the right time. Please keep us in your prayers as their is a lot to do in the coming weeks. And I'm afraid we will miss spring this year going from 8 inches of snow to 80 degrees rather quickly.

This move will be bittersweet... But being closer to family definitely makes it more sweet than bitter.
