Something Old, Something New, and Something Well-Deserved

Hello all you million Johnsons,

Well, our dear little house has sold. We will be moving at the end of October to a newer, flatter house. It's with some sadness that we contemplate this move. We have loved living here in this cosy little house. We have a wonderful neighborhood full of wonderful friends who have helped us through difficult times with my illness, and who are a great lot of fun in these healthier times, too. In the end, though, we know a better house for me will be better for all of us - so there is some peace in that, and the beginnings of excitement about having a new place and making it our own.



Here is a photo of the new house.
It is in West Saint Paul, a suburb pretty much due east of here (don't ask me....???). You can see that the lot is wooded, which Ben is very excited about. The house is close to lots of our favorite places like Dodge Nature Center and Super Target. Also close to Dave's office. The kids will stay at their current schools, since the new house is still quite close in, and not much farther from their schools than we are now. We close on October 17th, will spend a week doing some small jobs (floors and painting in the kids' rooms), and we'll move in on October 25th. My mom and dad are coming to help us move - thanks Mom and Dad! We invite anyone and everyone to come visit us in our new house once we're settled.


And last, but not least, from the Well-Deserved Desk,
a few weeks ago we received the great news that Dave
has been promoted to Director. This is a big
promotion for him morale-wise, and I am so proud of him.

That's pretty much it for us right now. The kids are all doing great in school, and we are muddling through the beginning-of-the-school-year viruses. We will be busy packing boxes and getting ready to move. Love to all of you,

Molly and fam
