Moving Home

Today is the day to break the news on the blog - we are coming home! And I don't mean just for a summer vacation. Mid-July Dad and Mom are flying out to help us pack and load a trailer, and then are flying back with Oliver while Paul and I drive back. We will be staying with Dad and Mom for awhile as we wait to hear if a potential post-doc opportunity comes through at the U of M, and look for other jobs. I am feeling a lot of excitement to be with and near family again, and to spend some time regrouping and recouping. We are looking forward to helping out on the farm - cooking, cleaning, mowing, and chopping (Paul is excited about that last one - not me). It has been hard to tell my friends here, but they are completely rallying around us with encouragement and offers of help. We are really going to miss them. Please keep us in your prayers during this transition time.

WWWHHHHAAAATTTT????? You're coming home???? That couldn't be any better news, at least from our perspective! What happened in PA that you are leaving? Samantha and Coop cheered when I told them the Boswells are coming back!
