Family Update

I realized as I was sending an email out to family and friends about this Web Log that some of you may not know what we are up to lately. Here is a quick update:

We are in the process of moving from Utah to Michigan. I was made an offer I couldn't refuse to go back to the recycling industry.

When I say we are in the process of moving, what I really mean is that I am spending two weeks in the Midwest and then one weekend at home. We have had our home on the market for six months and have been steadily dropping the price to lure a buyer. We are optimistic that it will happen soon.

We will be moving to the Ann Arbor area which is the SE corner of the state about 30 miles West of Detroit. I am the North Division Manager for FCR Recycling, one of the largest recycling companies in the country. At this point, FCR operates East of the Mississippi.

At one point we were excited about moving, but the feeling has faded some over the last few months. We are not looking forward to moving away from family, but have really enjoyed spending the last 2 years in Janna's hometown.

Thanks for stopping by our page!

On the road...

Here goes nothin'...

Thanks to Rick & Lisa and Tom & Heidi for pioneering the the whole blog concept for the extended Hasleton Family. It looks like a great way to keep connected.

It is hard to believe I have been on the road for more than 6 months. While on the phone the other night, Janna pointed out that I have missed half of Allison's life so far. I miss being with my family. When I am home, Ally won't let me put her down for, at least, the first few hours. I am just happy that at least she still remembers me...

I can't wait to get the family moved out here so we can be together again. The kids are obviously very sad not to have me around...

But the hardest thing is knowing that Janna has the weight of the world on her shoulders. I really don't know how she does it. I am truly amazed each day by how strong she is. I am humbled by what an awesome mother she is, and am totally amazed by how lucky I am. In her case, beauty is much more than skin deep.

In the end, we know that we have been continually blessed. We pray for patience and faith enough to continue to rely on the LORD to take care of us.

The coming season is our favorite time of the year. Here's hoping it is a wonderful time for you and yours...
