WE'RE MOVING!!!

uh huh! yeah it's true...we are leaving the great state of Florida with its PERFECT winter weather for the soon to be great state of OHIO! Random I know but Toledo here we come! Steve has accepted a job in Toledo (actually awhile ago but it just hasn't felt real until now--I guess packing does that to you!) and we are moving the end of next week! I am so sorry that we didn't get more people out here to see us before we head for colder climates but we will still meet anyone here that wants to visit...there's always plenty of room at the Munns Hacienda!

I just want to say we have LOVE, LOVE, LOVED it here in Tampa! It says a lot to have Steve say, only a few months after being here, "I really think we could stay here forever." Too bad that hasn't happened yet! But really, we have been so blessed to have had this unfortunately short stay. We have made the best of friends...the kind you keep in touch with!! We have had great experiences serving here in our Branch--we have felt truly part of a family here! We have learned a lot about relying on inspiration from the Lord (we really had to feel it to get us out of Florida, away from the weather, and away from my family).

Here are a few great things we've loved about being here:
*Eleanor... she joined our family while we were here!
*The weather...anyone who knows us knows we like it hot! (while at BYU I rarely attended class when it was snowing--unfortunately steve didn't have that luxury!!)
*Proximity to my Family in Orlando (less than 2 hours...I could make that drive in my sleep!!)
*The Beach...we used to go once a week!
*FRIENDS
*Lowry Park Zoo
*The Aquarium
*MOSI
*Our babysitters
