Drum roll please...

There has been a lot of movin' and shakin' going on at our house lately, which has definitely led to my blog-neglect. Most everything going on has been fairly minimal, except for one thing:
WE ARE MOVING TO BELGIUM!!! Ryan has accepted a position with PwC in Brussels, Belgium starting in July and really, we could not be more thrilled. We feel so good about this move and we just can't wait to see what Europe has in store for us. We will definitely miss our friends and callings and Oregon in general, but we can't wait for this adventure. We will be there for 2 years and then will come back into the US firm wherever there is a need, which is also a source of excitement to us.


The least exciting thing about this whole process is dealing with our stuff. We will be shipping over only clothes, some toys, books, etc., but plan to buy everything else there, which leaves a lot to be sold or stored. Anyone need a house? or a car? two cars actually....or a TV? or bedroom furniture? or a bike? or a stroller? got a couple of those too.... you name it, we will probably be selling it in the next couple of months. After all, we have an entire house to liquidate. :) Thanks for being part of our lives up to this point and we look forward to sharing this next adventure as well!

Congrats you guys! I'm sad we never got to do a trip to Oregon to see you guys and visit Roloff farms. :) We are excited for you all. In fact, I think Jesse would like to go with you.

I really am excited for you, but of course you will be missed. I hope we keep in touch throughout the years as we have a few things or children anyway in common. Let us know when you start selling stuff, we may be up for buying some things!
