| Posted 1/21/2003 9:24 PM (GMT -6) |   | Yes, it's true. We're moving to Michigan! Ann Arbor specifically, and we leave this Friday with two cars, a 24 foot truck, a dog, a cat, and everything we own to cross the United States in the middle of winter.
Why are we so crazy? Well, I've been called to serve the wild Episcopal campus ministry program at the University of Michigan. Poor them!  My husband is going to be attending law school out there studying juvenile justice, so we'll be plenty busy.
Anyone else on the board near that area? We'll only be 9 hours away from Woodland Hills! 
Anyway, please keep us in your prayers as we pioneer our way across the nation over the next week.
Peace and thanks,
~Empiress

My wife and I live in Ypsilanti, right next to Ann Arbor. I hope you find Michigan as friendly as I have (a transplanted Texan).
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. | | Back to Top | | |

I would love to get together with you and your hubby for lunch sometime. We could even get together with JohnEarp! You are only 40 mins away from me at the border. If you want, I could go across to the States or you could come over here. We could do Italian. LONG LIVE SPAGOS!!!
By the way, if you want to listen to some radio in your area?

Al Kresta has interviewed Greg on the Protestant station, WMUZ. But Al went back into Catholicism and switch stations. He might be a little conservative for ya, but he is pretty knowledgeable and is thorough on the subjects of which he speaks.
Whatever you do, don't listen to WMUZ 103.5 F.M. Corrrnnnyyy!! Well, if you like commercials? Go for it!
Also, Grand Rapids is a nice city to visit. I hear the crime may be bad, but the city itself is nice. So whadaya say?

| Posted 1/30/2003 6:17 PM (GMT -6) | | We made it here safe and sound! It was one heck of a treck but God is good and we were blessed with mostly good weather and no major catastrophes (as long as you don't count the perpetual car sickness our dog had ;).
Thanks for the good wishes Springs and Brett! And WOW...Brandon is only 40 minutes away and John is practically in the neighborhood!!! Outstanding! I'd love to meet up with you guys sometime.
And thank you Brandon for the radio tips, I'll definitely check those out. We'd love to find an excuse to go to Canada too! Let's definitely plan for us all to meet for a meal sometime after we get settled!
Peace and joy,
~E

| Posted 1/31/2003 10:19 AM (GMT -6) | | Welcome to the Midwest, Empiress! I was born in Michigan, grew up in Wisconsin, and for now I’m settled in Minnesota. I’m about as Midwestern as you can be. Which is not all bad, especially with interesting folks like you and your husband coming to town and expanding our small Midwestern world. I’m glad your journey was successful.
Blessings on your studies and your ministry
and your new home,
Electra

| Posted 2/1/2003 12:56 PM (GMT -6) | | Electra's from Michigan too? Where were you born in Michigan? Deeetroit? Southside?  No...it's the eastside that's the southside of the tracks...duh...
Miss E...I would be honored to take you and your husband out for dinner! If we decide to do it over here? Spagos is my fav. But I don't mind eat'n over there. I'm just saying over here cause it would be nice for you and your man to come to Canada.
So. Get settled. And hurry your butt over here...
P.S. John...you come too. This is soooo cool! I can't wait...I'm sooo excited. And I just can't hide it. I'm 'bout to lose control and I think I like it!
