Wisconsin!?!?!?!
As Abigail and I were driving to campus to meet Barton it hit me hard how sad I would be to leave. I am going to miss our friends so much. I am going to miss weekends with our nieces and nephews. I am going to miss Mormon Row and all of our dear neighbors. I am going to miss the Bluegrass State and all the luscious scenery. I am going to miss our family ward and all the amazing people we have gotten to interact with. I am going to miss our cousins in Cincinnati and in Indiana. I am even going to miss the chirping of cicadas on a hot summer night.
But this is what I am excited for. I am excited that my sweet husband gets do follow his dreams. Nothing makes me happier than him. I would follow him to the other side of the world.
Now that you have listened to me spill out my heart, here are the facts. The program starts at the beginning of July but orientation is in mid June. Barton graduates early May so that will give us plenty of time to get moved.
We have no insights of Wisconsin. So please, if you have any helpful advice we are all ears! Until then, I am going to start doing some research of our future home! And all of you can start researching out plane tickets to Wisconsin. (Whatever you do, resist the urge to look up the above mentioned Cicada bugs. You won't sleep sleep tonight if you do. Trust me, I have made that mistake :)
At the Arboretum, getting ready to find out the good news together!
Congratulations on your wonderful news. We are excited for your new adventure. Hope you will share lots and lots of Wisconsin with us.
ReplyDeleteWhere in Wisconsin? We lived in Milwaukee and Appleton one summer doing summer sales. We had a lot of fun but also lived in kind of a rough area in Milwaukee-yet still had a beautiful apartment with tons of green space. There is a cool "spy" restaurant/bar in downton Milwaukee that we went to where the entrance is hidden and you have know about it to get in that was a fun date. Anyways I am sure you guys will have so much fun! We drove through Madison and that was beautiful too and there are lakes every where.
ReplyDeletei can't believe that you researched cicadas:) you are too funny. they are also referred to as katydid here in tennessee:) I guess when you grow up with them, you don't think about them as much:) I am so excited for your family Em!
