A house, turned into our home...then turned over to someone else. Yep, we moved! We've been in our home for seven years and decided it was time for a change so we sold our home located at the end of Lines Lane. I'd like to say it was no big deal, but I can't. It was a BIG deal. To my surprise on "moving day" I learned just how attached I've become to this place. As the movers carried out the last load of boxes, I found myself standing in this big empty house and reality hit. We're really moving! I suddenly felt a flood of emotions all at once.

This one will be creeping right into adulthood before long. We realize our time with him will soon dwindle so we are trying to take in every moment. We love you Nathan and appreciate the example you show to your brothers and sisters. A few facts about Nathan... He loves any kind of weapon made (especially guns) yikes! He's a very bright kid but doesn't feel it necessary to turn in some if his school assignments (until he gets his ipod taken away, then suddenly it becomes a priority). He loves pizza and bbq wings. He doesn't think girls are so bad after all. He can get along with anyone (with the exception of his youngest brother). He's responsible and knows how to work hard. He loves the scouting program. He wishes he had his OWN cell phone and didn't have to share (family phone). Enjoys the stake dances he now gets to attend. He loves his church responsibilities. Happy Birthday Nathan!
