A new chapter in our lives

We are headed to Arkansas.  My first matter of business.  Why is Arkansas pronounced different than Kansas?  Who's bright idea was that?  Matt took a job with corporate Wal-Mart in Bentonville Arkansas.  We have already found a house and are moving this Saturday.  I can't believe how fast this is going. I find a brief moment once in a while to actually let the thought sink in but then it is back to getting things ready to be packed up.  On Sunday I was an emotional wreck.  You know one of those blubbering women that we see so often at church.  The kids from Primary shared moments that they will remember about me and lessons and stories that I had shared that they enjoyed.  I was very sad to have to say good-bye.  But they left me with these cute books with all their pictures on them and their good-bye drawings.  I cannot believe that I have been with them for almost 4 years.  Saying good-bye was harder than I thought.  I will always remember them and everything they taught me.

It's always hard to leave and say goodbye!

Jesse is in Arkansas and will be Matt's co-worker! I'm not sure which division matt will be in, but Jesse is right there! He's been there for a while, so he could tell you anything you need to know! E-mail me if you want his information: heidiannhiller@yahoo.com

Good luck with moving! I hope it goes smoothly!

I served my mission in Arkansas. Very different weather from Utah, but you will love it there.
