Great Things in Michigan

This may be the reason why I can not seem to lose my "baby" gut.
Moving to Michigan was a big change for a girl who lived 35yrs in the same county. Here are some wonderful things I have come to enjoy about Michigan.
  • The huge banana splits at a local restaurant, it seemed a bit smaller this time or my kids are just getting bigger!
  • The Natural Beauty, Where I came from it was very busy and built up.
  • The friends my kids are making
  • The friends I am making
  • Our Church
  • My Bible study group
  • My sister moved 40minutes away a year after we were here, for over 13 years of my life she lived at least 4hrs away. ( this is one of the many sweet blessings my God has given me)
  • Troy's family
  • This Town, there are so many wonderful places especially for children
  • The local single A Baseball team
  • New discoveries about me my family and this state
  • My Husband
  • .....

Things I miss

  • Streets that are more laid out in grid form,
  • My sense of direction (goes along with the other)
  • My kids friends
  • My friends
  • Restaurants
  • Chicago
  • My Sister and Uncle Al, and my Dad and Marie but they moved too.
  • Troy's family
  • Our Church
  • My history, comfort
  • The Dunes
  • I am glad we moved for it has brought us closer as a family, not that we weren't close already....
  • Life is good, God is good and I am blessed!

Leaving one place is hard, i`m sure. but if you can make new friends and learn what available for your family in the new place, i`m sure it`s exciting.
