So...moving pretty much stinks! I think everybody should just have to stay in one spot forever and never leave...make the good jobs come to them! Our good friends, Luke and Emily Werrett (Lute, according to Katelyn), are pulling out of town tomorrow for a new job in Illinois. Bummer deal for us, probably a good thing for them. Luke was laid off in January and it's because of their example that we are in the good financial spot we are in right now. We watched what they were doing while being jobless, and prepped for the future we prayed would never come. Luke has been invaluable in helping Mike to be a good job hunter....I think he should be called as the Ward/Stake employment specialist in his new ward!
Our very first Sunday in our new ward we sat by Luke and Emily, and I don't think it was chance. Immediately after saying our Hello's, Emily asked if we had plans for dinner. We didn't, and so we joined them and found out that we would have great friends just around the corner from our new house. (I still need to get that recipe, btw...yum!) I want to be that type of person that always asks people over for dinner...even before I even stop to think about what I'm going to be having!
We've played games with the Werretts almost one night a week, every week, for the last year. Luke usually wins, Emily doesn't like long games, and we always have to have some sort of sugar overload. Katelyn has a crush on 'Lute' and she calls everyone Emily....even me! We're going to miss you guys!
Anyway...here's hoping you have the best of luck in Illinois. Sorry I don't have a better picture to post of you two (I promise, bloggers, they are not normally dressed in hick-ish attire! Emily's hair really isn't that big, and Luke does like to wear shirts with sleeves, nor does he have a tattoo, we think!) Thanks for being great friends and great examples! Hope the grass really is greener (and softer!) in Illinois!
WE LOVE YOU!

I'm still hoping you'll find a job in Chicago, so we can live next door again. ;)
