Welcome to Michigan!

This will be just a quick blog. We haven't had Internet for ages, because of moving..etc.. I just wanted to give a quick update. Bobby got a job in East Tawas, MI. It's a small town of 2000 people. He interviewed with a doctor that had bought 6 new offices. We got an offer in the East Tawas office which is full scope growing practice. Bobby will have more details about it.. Anyway they have him working there 3 days a week and he will work 1-2 days in West Branch, MI that is 35 min away. I was so happy that Bobby got a job where he doesn't have to work on Sundays. Several of the places he interviewed said that he had to work on Sundays, or at least they would like to have him work on Sundays. Now he has a great schedule from 9am-6pm Monday through Friday! The town we moved in is small, and we have to travel 25 min to get to Church, but the branch is wonderful and everyone is so happy that we moved there. They luckily have a nursery and primary. We get about 70 people at Church on Sunday, so it's not too small. We had 4 families call us before we even moved in to see if we needed help with housing and etc. I hope we can return the favor in the future and serve well in the branch. Housing is very cheap in the area, and we would like to buy a house, but want to make sure that Bobby's job will be solid, so right now we will be renting a house (it's 4 bedroom house and only $675/month) It's an older home, but looks nice inside. These pictures are actually from the renter, but when I have a chance, I'll try to get some pictures. This week we are actually staying at our Branch President's old home, and won't move to our house until 2nd of September. Bobby is starting work tomorrow. I'll try to post more updates this week since we have the internet available here.
