#1: Brent grew up just a few blocks away from me. When he was on his mission his parents moved down to AZ and sold their house. It traded hands a few times and ended up being owned by some good friends we met at school. They've owned it ever since. So it's been fun/weird for Brent to go back to the house he grew up in and have somebody else living there.
#2: The house we just moved out of a year ago was sold to one of Brent's friends from work. That was a huge blessing since we didn't even have to put our house on the market. And now we can go visit and see their cute family having fun in that awesome backyard!
#3: I recently found out that the house we lived in while in MI is now owned by some of our very best friends in the ward out there. They just moved in and have done an awesome job fixing it up. (It was a foreclosure and the previous owners had not been kind when leaving.) We are so happy for them!
So I'd just like to clarify that if anybody's hoping to buy our current house in a couple of years, you're going to be out of luck. We plan to stay here for a VERY LOOOOONNNNGGGG time.
(I was very hesitant to post that last sentence since every time I've said something similar out loud, God feels it's a great time for a good laugh and we end up moving for whatever reason. I'm hoping that since this is not "out loud" God will overlook it. ;) After owning 4 houses in 7 years, I'm ready to start letting my roots grow a bit.)

Wow, that's crazy, Julie! It is a small Mormon world. :)
So, greatful for the Michigan house. The kids LOVE the basement and running around. I can't wait for spring to send the kids out to play on the awesome swingset Brent built!!!
