I think it would be about an hour or so North of you. The beaches there are FANTASTIC. Check it out, sometime. There is also a zoo, outlet mall, and other attractions there.

I haven't been on here in MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONTHS, and I'm so thrilled that you are getting to adopt your little guy! We adopted our son at 22 months old after he had been placed with us in foster care at birth, and by a true miracle, we are preparing to adopt our soon-to-be daughter, who was also placed with us at birth - she's 20 months now, but it will be a long while. We have had other placements too - I love being a foster mom. <br /><br />Anyway, from one foster/adoptive mom to another, you're doing a rockin' job, and I'm so happy for you.Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188839167125525185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379969093490103099.post-23824506602342163952015-02-12T16:38:17.617-08:002015-02-12T16:38:17.617-08:00Hi Teresa!

I pray for you and your family daily. <br />I read that you homeschool. I'm sure you are on top of things, but if you have any questions about the home school laws in Indiana, let me know. I was a home educator until last year. <br /><br />Prayers for all of you and God bless you!Teresa Eberthttp://facebook.com/teresa.ebert123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379969093490103099.post-42254159773297820132015-02-02T07:01:33.130-08:002015-02-02T07:01:33.130-08:00So happy for your family on all fronts! :) We live...So happy for your family on all fronts! :) We live in Cincinnati, so not too far from where you'll be. (compared to where you've been, haha!) We have a close friend who came to us from that part of Indiana a couple years ago and she knows of the churches there in that area. Her brother was a preacher at a nearby church of Christ. Danville, I think? Anyway, I hope all these new transitions happen smoothly as they can and that you enjoy the Midwest! We love the area.

I was like, "WHAT!?! YAY!" And then I scrolled up, and realized I had missed it because I was looking at the pictures. I will keep your family and Ace's birth family in my prayers that all will go smoothly. I hope your move turns out wonderfully for your family. Sometimes, I think big changes are good. I hope that this year is awesome for you, and I'm glad you found a great new place to try, and that your husband will have great opportunities there also!Lynette @ My Craft Discoveryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075723914092217561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379969093490103099.post-20684704169461651952015-01-31T18:43:26.133-08:002015-01-31T18:43:26.133-08:00Many wonderful blessings!

Kokomo is close enough to do all the big city stuff during day trips -amazing children's museum, great outdoor free art museum, so many cool restaurants, bike and paddleboat near the canal downtown.

I am in southern Indiana and it is a MUST DO in the fall. Brown County, Bloomington....etc Gorgeous! Will be praying for a smooth transition for you and your family! BUNDLE UP!

When my husband and I moved from the church in Ellensburg, WA to the church here in Kansas, the worst part for me was that everyone knew me, but I didn't know anyone.
