Here's the big news.
We're moving to Indianapolis.
Martin landed a fantastic job involving both his IT skills and his background as an aircraft mechanic. Great pay, great benefits, and he loves it. He also loves his new toys, a new laptop and a Blackberry.
After so long with so many financial struggles, we've finally moving on and my relief is palatable.
I also really liked Indy. It's very flat and what they call lakes would be puddles in Michigan, but the economy is good there, everything isn't closed or for sale like it is here. Michigan has become very depressing. Indy is bright and shiny and new and people are incredibly friendly.
I'm nervous and excited. This is a whole new chapter of our lives beginning.
Oh my god congratulations!!!! I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU! I know things have been tough for a long time and I'm thrilled you have gotten a good turn of events! I am going to miss you!

We are all so excited about you moving to this neck of the woods that the earth moved! I bet you didn't count on moving to earthquake country, but without all that pesky sunshine and good weather that they have in California. I think we just had another aftershock about half an hour ago. Either that or my house if falling down, which would really suck.
But seriously, I am so glad Martin loves his job, and I am thrilled you are moving so close to me! Indy really is nice, I would definitely prefer it to where we are, but the commute would be much too long for Mark.
Keep me updated on what's going on with the move. Pretty soon we'll be sipping margaritas poolside!

Way to go Broad! (DISCLAIMER! For those that didn't go to HHS with us, this isn't offensive or sexist!) I am so happy for you and Martin. This is great news and definately something to celebrate, so before you go lets get the Broads together for a cocktail or two! How exciting to be making a fresh start. I wish your family the best of luck at your new home.

So when's the moving party? I think I smell a road trip in Holly's and my future......

Sarah makes me laugh. She's such a funny Broad. But the pressing issue is, when will the Michigan Broads come visit the Indiana Broads?

Ah Man! You JUST missed our Indy blogger get together. We'll have to do it again soon :)
I've lived in Indy my entire life, so if I can help you out in any way, let me know!
