And we did prepare to move

1) And it came to pass that I did take my family and we did journey into the wilderness. And on the twenty and fifth day of the seventh month of the year the Olympics were to be held in Beijing I did arrive in Knoxville (for this was the name of the place which we were to dwell) and I did look for my family but they were not with me for I had journeyed alone to this place and did prepare for the time when my family should join with me.
2) And it came to pass that on the first day of the eighth month of the year the Olympics were to be held in Beijing I did look out and I did see a large vessel in the air and it did descend gradually until it did reach the earth and it did roar like a lion and it was tight like unto a dish yet it did move like the great cat. Now behold my family was upon this vessel and they did come unto me and I was filled with joy and did give thanks to the Lord for them.
3) And it came to pass that we did make our home on the West side of the city Knoxville in a place called Farragut Tennessee and we did make friends with our neighbors and the members of our new ward. And we did not dwell in a tent but did surely live after the manner of happiness.
4) And we did blog often for we were desirous that our families and friends should remain close to us. And we were desirous that our families and friends would also blog, call, e-mail, chat, and visit for we were in a strange land and our hearts did yern to be close therefore we were desirous that our friends and family would seek to communicate often with us.

So I read Bryson Perkins blog and loved it so I had to try. Thanks Bryson :) http://bookofbryson.blogspot.com/

I look forward to our upcoming move and promise to do better at posting to our blog and keeping in touch. I hope everyone will continue to keep in touch.

Ha ha! That was excellent! I thought for a moment you had already moved! And that would have been sad.

I loved it...you definitely could have been a prophet back then with all your prophecies!!! :) Good luck, it isn't easy. We only moved with in the city and it wasn't easy, I can't imagine moving cross country!! You'll do great over there, I'm sure there are lots of people you and Cindy will touch with the gospel!

That is pretty clever!! I just read Bryson's book the other day.... so I knew exactly what you were referring to.
Hey I am planning our 10 year reunion and I was wondering if you could help me out? Didn't you have a cousin that married Brandon Murphy? I am trying to get his address to send him an invitation to the reunion. So is there any way that you can maybe get that for me? I would really appreciate it, it is not like you don't have a million things already to do I know!! Whenever you have a free moment... I don't know how else to get it. Even if you can lead me to someone to get the address that would be great too. Here is my email address... brit_biz@yahoo.com.
Good luck in your travels and with your new job!!
Take care and keep in touch!
