It's going to be a very exciting July here. Both of my kids are making big moves in the next few weeks. And both moves bring them MUCH CLOSER to us!
Adam has accepted a new call as Associate Pastor at the Winnetka Presbyterian Church in Winnetka, Illinois. It's a North Shore community an hour or so north of Chicago, and a 10 1/2 hour drive from Rochester. To say we're excited for them, and about the move is to put it mildly. They've been in Chicago for the last week. You can read a bit about the church festivities here on Adam's blog. They've signed a lease on a house just a few miles from the church and next-door to a rec center and a park. There are many, many good things about this new call beyond two parents/grandparents who are delighted to be within driving distance again after their six years on the west coast. They'll be in Winnetka by August 1.
Then on Mother's Day, Matt told us he was planning to move back to Rochester to be with Betsy and Skylar. Over Father's Day weekend, he had two interviews, and received two job offers. He's accepted the job at one of the premier nursery/landscaping concerns here, and hopefully it will offer him some opportunities to learn the nursery side of the business. Here they are goofing around for the camera on Father's Day.
This is Matt's last week on the job in Denver. He'll be packing up over the weekend, and driving home next week. His first day of work at the new job is July 8th. He and Betsy will be less than two miles from us, and we're just delighted!
