The Mission Begins

Several family members and friends have blogs that we enjoy, so I've decided to do a blog to help keep in touch with all our family and friends during our two year mission for Mars. What? you might ask is a two year mission for Mars. Well, in February Mick accepted a two year position with Mars Snackfood in Hackettstown, New Jersey. The package included them moving us out to Jersey, paying our rent and utilities and then moving us back to California after the commitment is complete. We are excited to experience living on the east coast and all that it brings. Our house hunting trip the first week in April was cold, wet, and everything was brown and appeared dead. My impression was "the lone and dreary world". But we found a nice home, 5 bedrooms, office, and full unfinished basement only 8 miles from Mick's work on 2.2 acres in the community of Green Township. The packers and movers came April 21st, we flew out to New Jersey on April 23rd, and so our story "Two year Mission for Mars" begins.
