As most of you know, we just made a BIG move to Owatonna, Minnesota, for those of you who don't know.......
After lots and lots and I mean LOTS of prayers and discussions, Lance decided to make a carer change. He has resigned from Enterprise and is now working for Federated Insurance, which is why the big move. Federated has a year long training program that happens to be in Owatonna, MN.
We left Sunday morning June 12th and after 2 fun filled days of driving through cornfield after cornfield we finally made it to our new home. Owatonna is a small town of about 25,000 people. Here is a link to Owatonna's website.... http://ci.owatonna.mn.us/ . The company Lance will be working for, Federated, is a big deal here. Everybody either works at Federated or wants to work for Federated. There are some pretty neat things around and we have done some sightseeing. One of the biggest things is the Cabela's Store. We have also found a small outlet mall close...yay! :) Owatonna is about an hour away from Minneapolis, so for Father's Day we drove to the city and went to our first Twins baseball game....it was Ansley's first MLB game ever. We had a blast and Ansley did great, she even sat through the whole game!!!
One of the main reason I have decided to start this blog is so everyone can keep up with Miss Ansley. The worst part of this move is taking Ansley away from all our family and friends, but hopefully this blog and the use of Skype will help. Ansley is finally getting the hang of this Skype thing and is enjoying seeing everyone.
We are I think finally all settled into our new place. It took some creativeness because we moved from our 3bedroom/2 bath house into a 2bedroom/1 bath duplex with very small closets! We were very lucky and found a nice older couple to rent our house back in Clinton. I have also been offered a casual ( or PRN-as needed) position at the local hospital, Owatonna Hospital. I don't have a specific start date yet.
Now you know why we moved and a little about our new town! We ask for continued prayers during this exciting new adventure! We love you!
Great first post! This is going to be a fun way to keep up with you guys. I can't wait to skype. Text when you are online.
