So, 3 years ago this week(Thursday more specifically) a lot changed. First and foremost, our great friend Jake Pearly was killed in a motorcycle accident. He was 2 months from turning 21. Too fast to live, too young to die. Thursday was also the day(having nothing to do with the first topic) that Chad and I decided to move back to Illinois. We had been flirting with the idea for a week or so since Chad had been offered a job in Pekin, IL. We always knew that someday we would move back, and the opportunity presented itself. Well, technically, my cousin Shannon and her husband Ryan, called us when they saw the wanted add in the Springfield paper. So, we went into work the next day and gave a 3 week notice. We packed while going to services and such for Jake and left Cali on April 1st.
A lot has changed in the past 3 years, as we figured out that the owners of the dealership in Pekin sucked, and we hung in there anyway. And now new (wonderful) ownership has taken over and Chad got a raise and way better medical benifits. We also purchased our 1st home (well, the bank purchased it and allows us to live here until 2038 (choking!)when it is paid off) ha ha. We also had our first child(note all of the pictures of his cute butt). Not to mention all of the family things we have been able to be at. As well as the great friends we have made. All in all, the past 3 years have been a good 3 years. Hard at times and great at others(but, that's life!)
So there is a short recap. :)
