News from Highland, UT to the Midwest and back...

We are back! We just got home from our trip to the Midwest. Wedenesday night last week we went out to dinner with Richard's manager took us out to dinner to "The Happy Sumo". The food was excellent! Richard ate his first piece of sushi, which tasted like fish bait smells, he said. But it was a fun stress reliever before we left.
Early Thurs. morning (5:45am) we headed to the airport and caught a 7:05 flight to Chicago, IL. We touched down and it was pouring down rain, and it continued that way for the few hours during the drive to our new city in the Midwest. The weather was great the middle 3 days and then yesterday it poured down rain the whole way to the airport and while we waited in the airport. We were there a little early, so we had dinner at the Wolfgang Puck restaurant in the airport. It was amazing food and fun to sit in the airport wating such great food! (0: We finally got in late last night and are grateful to be back.
BUT, back to the real story...
In the Midwest we needed to find a place to live and finish up school preps for Richard and the girls to start school. Richard and I were able to go just the 2 of us, while Richard's mom took a few days off to chase the girls around for us. It was great to get away and to just focus on the move. Thanks a ton, Joy!
While we were there, we headed over to the John Deere headquarters and took a bunch of pictures with the HUGE tractors and stuff. Enjoy the funny pictures!

Richard and Becky standing in front of a HUGE John Deere Harvester (it totally reminds me of one of the characters on the movie "Cars"). Can you believe how big that is?
Richard in front of the tank treads of another really big tractor. Weird that there are treads like that, huh?Me standing by the cab of that tractor with tank treads. These things are amazing. GPS and everything is all the amazing technology to make things easier on a farm.
The trip was a good trip for us. It started badly and we couldn't find a good place to live, but we now have 2 great options and we hope to decide this week what we are going to do. Say a prayer for us as we pray for guidance. We love you guys tons and we will miss you so much!!!

I still don't like to think about you moving! I'm glad you've got some good options, though. Love the pics!
