I almost forgot that Chelsea and Matthew moved to Tennessee in August of 2011. Its been a crazy few years for all of us. Their mom and her boyfriend were experiencing the financial struggles of Michigan. In May she decided to move the kids to Tennessee because they were having such a hard time. Jennifer's parents have lived in Tennessee since 2005 and they had wanted to kids and Jennifer to move down with them at the time. We did not let them move because we knew we would hardly ever see the kids being that far apart. This time around we did not have a foot hold to keep them in Michigan. Our one requirement was that they meet us half way since they would be moving twice as far away.
That change has been one of the hardest we have had to deal with. We miss our friends and family dearly, but we miss Chelsea and Matthew more than most. We now see them for a few weeks over the summer and about a week at Christmas time. Its hard when we once use to get the kids every weekend and eventually we are reduced to a few weeks a year. We cherish our time with them, but we sure wish we had a lot more time.
We just remember that God has plans for us all and that it will work out in the end.
