A lot has happened in the last month for the Schans family...and we are feeling the crunch to stay connected now more than ever.
Over this past year at TCC, Matt and I began to feel the pull towards family - with two kids and another on the way, we really began to think seriously about heading to either MN or MI. As the year progressed, Casey was born and things became more clear.
Matt then resigned his position as the baseball coach, and I followed suite, resigning my positions as RD and FYE Coordinator. It was done - we were moving.
After STRESSING about having three children and no house, job, insurance, etc., etc. for several months, we were blessed with some opportunities in MN - so here we are.
On June 30 we drove away from our home of 12 years (on and off) and headed to 3217 Churchill court - otherwise known as my parents house. don don don.....
Things are going well. Matt and I are currently looking for a house - but are not feeling the push to purchase before being REALLY SURE that all is well. The kids are loving life with grandma and grandpa (who ellee refers to as YaYa). They are loved and their routine is cherished - things for them are the same, but so different. Casey is getting so big and seems to be the perfect 3rd baby - nothing seems to rattle him.
Matt and I are adjusting. Missing friends, parts of our old jobs, Chicago fun and independence, but in the end, we feel that this is where we are meant to be for now. So as this challenge continues, we will continue to grow and change and learn and we are excited at this prospect.
Included are some pictures that I made the family endure before we left Chicago - a lovely little lady named Amy Tripple took them and was amazing and so affordable.
