Back in Bloomington but not for long

Our South Bay summer was a blast. We lived right in Torrance, 10 minutes away from the beach as well as from Toyota where I worked. We were within a few hours of both of our families, which made it even better.

Not long after coming back to Indiana, Amanda had baby number three on Sept. 23. A girl. But hey there's always next time. Elise is very cute though, and I'm sure she'll have me wrapped in no time. Not long after that Amanda often found herself alone with the kids while I was traveling and interviewing for jobs. Thankfully that part of our lives is over, and it looks like we will remain in the Midwest for the foreseeable future. After I graduate in May, we'll move to small-town southwest Michigan where I'll be working for Whirlpool. It is a great place for families, which we are on track to have an abundance of. We'll be right off lake Michigan and about an hour and a half away from Chicago.

California love

Nathan has somehow managed to make his own blog posts. I deleted his first post but left his last one up because I figure we could use some additional activity on here. He has become quite the technologically savvy little three-year-old.

We finally know where we are going this summer. I'll be working at Toyota in Torrance, California, so we are currently trying to figure out where (and how) we are going to live out there.

We will be minutes from the beach and less than 2 hours from Amanda's family in Escondido. We are very excited to go back out west for a few months.

Tomorrow Amanda turns -wait for it - 30! We are only 2 1/2 years apart, but I always thought it would seem much more than that for the 3 months that she is 30 and I'm still 27. So little time to rub it in.
