A: Our next home state!

 

Aaron is being transferred to the Dannon Plant in Minster, Ohio as their new Engineering Director.  Every move is hard and this one is especially so.  We love our little spot here in Utah, and love having family only a day's drive away.  So why move??? 

We're always up for a new adventure, but most importantly Aaron's new job requires A LOT LESS TRAVEL than what he does now.  The kids will have their daddy back and my days as a single mother will be behind me.  We feel so blessed, and secretly terrified!
