There is no place like home

That's right friends...with the help of some of the best people we know we have made the move from Georgia to west Michigan.

The phrase "There is no place like home" is so true. We thought there was going to be a transition time and a strange feeling of un-belonging in Michigan. This was not the case. Its almost as if we have not been gone for 5 years (Aaron for 7!)

The fact that we can drive minuets away and be with family or be able to say "In an hour lets do dinner" is such a treat.

Parson has been a rock star through all of this change the past two months. Between staging, selling, vacation, packing and moving he has been such a trooper. Good thing because a grocery toddler is no fun but on top of moving it could really be a mess.

Moving to Michigan was one of the hardest  and biggest leaps of faith we have made. To move 900 miles north without a house, job, or medical coverage for my pregnant self was scary. But within 10 days of us being in Michigan everything was in order and just as it needed to be. God is good and when we trust him...it always works out.

Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks of craziness at the Jones home:

Making the long two day move and this sweet boy was as happy as could be

Enjoying the dandelions in the pasture on our rental property


On top of a fenced in pasture we have fruit trees/bushes. Parson loves that he can go and grab and apple whenever he wants. Plus they are naturally organic and small...perfect for a toddler!


Parson LOVES the horses in the pasture behind our house. The horses are so gentle and now come to the fence anytime we are outside. That could have something to do with the fact that Parson usually has an apple in his hand that he "drops" :) 

Calling his friends the horses to come over and play

Cherries are almost ripe!

We are so thankful for all of your prayers and help through this move. We felt them thats for sure. Thank you Lord for your plan and working everything out so it is just right.
