The Batemon's Biggest Announcement Since Our Engagement

    Leighann and I will be moving to Springfield, MO this coming summer. This decision has been made after much fasting, temple attendance, daily prayer, and conversations. We made pros and cons lists, making sure to put family members on the pros side, of all our potential destinations and Missouri came out on top.
 
     Our plan at the moment is to start the move after family reunion. As I am working for Dewey I will stay in California until the end of summer while Leighann moves out east to start getting our lives established in Springfield.
 
      Although we are truly going to miss California (I will more than Leighann will), we are both really excited about this new chapter in our lives.

     We look forward to seeing everyone at family reunion!

Did you get a hair cut?-Beth

Shannon is forever going to claim that she persuaded this decision haha

Heather Hemmert said...

Hopefully someday we can live near each other

We'll let Shannon have this one. This is an old picture from when Leighann had chopped all her hair off to pay for a Christmas present for me. One day we will live near each other Heather, when the prophet tells you to come live in Missouri.

Ricki said...

Peter, it will probably take the prophet telling them for Roy and Heather to come to MO!

Shannon said...

I am not claiming anything! I really wanted them to move to MO, but I knew things had to be right for them. Now am I extremely happy that things happened the way I wanted them to? THATS A BIG FAT YES!!!!
