Times change...

Well my oldest brother is about to pack up and move up north to Chicago land. Sure he'll have the best Hot Dogs in the world, and 2 MLB teams to choose from, but it's still gonna be hard not having him here. I haven't seen a lot of him and his family lately, and that's my fault, you get spoiled when family is close by. Rick, Mark, and I have always been very close and enjoy hanging out every chance we get, but it's gotten harder to do that now with Mark 7.5 hours west, and now Rick 14 hours North.

Guess this means more road trips in the future. Anyone who knows me knows I Love Road Trips. The cousins are close to one another, and I don't want that to fade at all. I was close to some of my cousins growing up, but not as close as I'd like to have been, so I don't want my kiddo's ever fading away from their cousins, they will have many adventures together in the future, and I want that to always be able to come true.

We're sure gonna miss Rick, Sharyn, and Connor but we know God has a great plan ahead for them, and wish them the best. Just make sure to get some real shoes Rick, and get plenty of warm clothes. Also, God forbid it should happen, here's a great site for materials to have in your car for winter travelling just in case you were to get stranded. http://family-travel-safety.suite101.com/article.cfm/winter_car_survival_kit

I guess I'm gonna have to accept that we've become a 9 O'Clock family. 9 O'Clock family, what the deuce is he talkin' about? If I were to look to the north I'd have an older brother directly due North (Well not exactly due North, but North none the less) and my twin brother directly to the west. Thus if I were a clock it'd be 9 O'Clock. So we've become a 9 O'Clock family.

We sure wish ya'll all the best up North, and know we'll always be thinking of ya'll and praying for ya'll. Stay warm this winter, and ya'll have a very Happy Thanksgiving. We sure Love Ya'll. Remember you'll always have a place to stay so feel free to come visit whenever. We'll make accommodations for ya'll anytime. Same goes for ya'll too Midland McElmurry's.
