Who would have thought we would be staying in Marshfield? I came here dragging my heels and not wanting to even come with Jay. I was going to stay in La Crosse and he was going to come and do his fellowship. We would all then be in La Crosse after his fellowship and be starting his job. Easy right?Boy I am glad that I came with him! Not only would the kids and I have missed him tremendously, but we would have never have found out how wonderful Marshfield is. From the moment we moved to Marshfield we were so welcomed by teachers, coaches, a church family, friends and our neighbors. Yes, you did read that correctly we have been going to church. It is a Presbyterian church, so of course I felt right at home. Our church is very involved in the community and being green! I can't wait to get our feet in the door a little more!
It was a very hard decision staying here or going back to La Crosse. We loved La Crosse, but when we really sat down and thought about all the things that we loved about La Crosse, we realized a lot of the people we were so close to are also moving on.
We both felt that staying in Marshfield would allow us to accomplish our goals that we have set individually and as a family. We also love the idea of a smaller community to raise our kids in.
I wish we could tell the kids that we didn't have to move again, but unfortunately that isn't the case. We are renting the house that we are currently in from the clinic so we will be having to make one last move. But I think the kids will be excited once they can really call a place "home." Even though we have called every place our home, it hasn't been ours! We are all so excited for those next steps.
Thanks again to everyone for all the advice and support you have given our family over the last couple of months!
