Iowa or Bust!

The bags are packed, the little U-Haul is loaded and tomorrow morning bright and early we roll out! Our moving trailer is supposed to be delivered at noon and the moving men show up at 2pm. I hope to have pics of the new house to post soon.

I feel like I have done waaaayyy too much packing and unpacking in the last 6 weeks. I'm looking forward to unpacking for the last time...for quite awhile at least. I have really enjoyed our time here in St. Louis. We've gotten to spend so much time with our friends and family. It's been great to see everyone interact with MJ. He's been an absolute trooper and we're so thankful for such an easy going baby.

Tomorrow is a tad bittersweet. If we were still in Florida it would be my first day back to work. I'd be excited to see my friends and set up my classroom-something I always thoroughly enjoyed. However, it would've also been the first day taking MJ to daycare, which of course would've been tough. I will definitely miss my friends and think of them throughout the day, but yet I think God has me right where I am meant to be. I must admit though; I am already looking forward to my first Florida visit! (this winter perhaps???)

Watch out Dubuque...here come the Keyes'!

We miss you too!!!!! I'm glad you are doing what's best for you and the family, but it was definitely not the same without you there with Walms and I! Can't wait for your first Florida visit!!! XO, Nancy
