Greg and Kelly Marble
my sweet daughter in law Jenny is having a rough time right now. her wonderful parents are moving almost 3000 miles away, from Surprise Arizona to Alaska, Anchorage i think.
she lived in Utah a couple of years but other than that she has always lived with in 1/2 an hour of her mom and dad. her siblings, i am sure will have a difficult time also.
it is hard to know what to say. i think it may be easier to console her once they have gone.
which will be the beginning of next week. this will be their last family weekend to together. they have always been a very close knit family. i know the Marble kids will continue to keep the bonds close but they will dearly miss their parents.
i will tell you.. there isn't anyone i would rather be co~grandparents with to our 3 little rascals! all the little ones will miss them terribly! they have 5 other grandkids..i can't imagine
having to leave 8 beautiful grands but they are doing this for the better of their "family" the 2 of them they need to find suitable work in a place they know they have a chance. and they are just the kind of people to love the Alaskan life! love the adventure.
so Jenn i love you and i hope i can help you through this time in your life.
to the Marbles, Greg, Kelly, have a great time and make your place in life.. love it as much as we all hope you will. remember there are a lot of people here who love you and are praying for you.

I find it sweet that you're worried about your daughter-in-law. What a good mom-in-law you are!

I know the Marbles!! And I know Jenny. I remember when she was in seminary as back then we were all in the same stake and I was over the seminary program. How sad to have her parents move--not just for her but also for her parents! We only have one grandbaby and it makes me so sad she is in a different state! It must be very hard for all of them to be separated.

My parents moved nearly that far away from me. They've missed almost every milestone my children have passed. It makes me so sad.

What a sweet MIL you are!
Beautiful family...
btw~ I guess I shouldn't be complaining about my 103 degree weather!

That's very sad and I hope that the transition is easy for both families. Thank goodness for email, cell phones, and video.

Oh, that really stinks for her! But thank goodness she's still got you!

That is really neat that you have such a great relationship with your co-inlaws. I bet it will be hard but it sounds like it could be a fun adventure for the family as well.

What a wonderful MIL you are! She's lucky to have you for sure! I wish I lived closer to my parents and siblings - it was a huge adjustment for me to move almost 3000 miles away, but my FIL's health warranted the move so he'd have someone nearby since my hubby is an only child and there are no other immediate family members here. I hope your DIL adjusts well to her parents being so far away, but at least she has you! :)
