Moving to Wisconsin

Hello all -

Yes, the title says it all. We are on an adventure and moving to Wisconsin. Andy is transfering with Kraft to work at the Tombstone Pizza Plant in Medford, WI. He starts his job early January, Rose and I will follow after the relocation goes through.
Kraft will purchase our house, if we are not able to sell it in two months. We put our house officially on the market this past weekend. In addition, Kraft will move us to Wisconsin. We will have movers come pack us up, move us, and unpack us...so that will be nice.
We were in Wisconsin this past weekend looking for a house to buy, but no luck. The house we were interested in and wanted to put an offer on, already had an offer on it. So, we are back to square one. Please pray that we can find a nice house within our price range, and enough room for at least three of us and room for guests and/or the boys coming to live with us. Our specific house requests are a house with a front entry way, at least 3 bedrooms, at least 2 bathrooms, finished basement (Andy would like a "man-land"), a deck off the back yard big enough to BBQ and its placement that makes sense.
As you may have infered from this post, Ryan has decided to stay in Portland and live with his mom. He will still be able to go to the same highschool, just have a long commute to and from school. Ryan did tell us that he wants to finish out his sophmore year and then come out an see us in Wisconsin this summer, and decide at that point if he will stay with us and finish out his high school years in Wisconsin. We are hoping that's how it will all play out, but we'll see what happens. Katy (the boys mom) will have a full house because Kevin is also moving back to Portland. Kevin will work through the winter, sping, and summer and start school in the fall at Portland State University (PSU). PSU has a film program...and that is what Kevin wants to study, maybe eventually go to film school.
Well, here are some pictures of Wisconsin from this weekend.
