One of Kyle's Latest Jokes
Early in March, the sub zero weather gave way to a balmy 40 degrees and for the past few weeks the low 60s have been trying to move in, but they have been met with a fight. A mere 50 degrees in March? This island girl is usually be crying at anything below 70, but after a cold, gray Iowa winter, I'll take it!
The sun peeks out now and then and it's been warm enough to melt all the snow. The birds have returned home and have filled the bare trees with singing and new nests. Ahh, Spring is in the air! And with it comes green grass, blue skies, baby animals and... a new job!
That's right, no more Midwest winters for me! In the fall our family will head south, where I will happily spend next winter, and many more after that. We'll be in Winston-Salem, North Carolina where Marc will be teaching at Wake Forest. (My absence from blogging was due to a very hectic interview schedule).
Winston-Salem is about four hours away from the Outer Banks (the beach!) and close to the Great Smoky Mountains.
Our move won't be for a few more months, but I can't wait to find out more and blog about it. Y'all come back now! ;)

Oh my gosh! What excitement! Congrats on the new job AND surviving winter. We're still in the 30's which is feeling nice and warm! Sad. :) But we have 12+ hours of light now which makes a HUGE difference!
Oh, and I am DYING at your bad word jar. Glad to see baka on it. :) That seriously cracks me up he got in trouble for poop poop head. Too funny.
Congrats on the job! That's fantastic, I'm so happy for you!
aww you'll love north carolina! we visited there and the weather is perfect and the people are really nice there! too bad you guys didn't find a job in the south south like as in HAWAII!!! you're actually getting further away! what's up with that? lol miss you guys!
Congratulations--sounds like a great job and location! Though I'm sad you won't be here. We really miss you at book club!
Congratulations! I'm a little jealous. I know a Utah winter's nothing compared with a midwest one, but I'd gladly live somewhere warmer still.
Four hours from the Outer Banks?
I've been thinking of taking a road trip down there with trusty ol' Benkei.
