Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.

Expect Great Things

It is official, David has accepted a great position with K0HL'S. Yeah, David has a job! One slight change, their headquarters is Milwaukee, Wisconsin. So, the Ledlie clan is moving. It is a BIG change for everyone and a great deal to swallow. As I have learned from my grandmother, when life presents lemons, I will make lemonade. During one of the last conversations I had with Grandma Ruby before she died, I told her that some people thought I should be more upset about my husband loosing his job. And how I believed that this would not be the worst thing to happen to us, we would get through this and I chose to remain positive. I then told her that I learned this from her. I said, "When life presents lemons," she responded, "I made lemonade." A perfect last memory.

David will be a Category Marketing Manager for K0HL'S specifically, Men's, Young Men's, and Children's clothing. He starts later this month and we will follow after selling our house. So, if anyone is looking for a great house with great interior design let us know!

oh Erin, this makes me so sad! I do not want you to go that far away! Dr Jack will miss you, we ALL will miss you! Your family will be devastated. I surely wished that David could have found something a little closer to home and I"m sure you do, too! Please keep me posted. I just hate this!

Dear sweet David and Erin,

CONGRATULATIONS!!! We are thrilled for you that David has been offered such a wonderful position----and we are so proud of you for going forward with great faith and determination. For sure, your grandmother is smiling down from heaven as she sees the continuation of her "lemonade legacy". We know that great things await as you begin this adventure--and you know, the world is not as big as it used to be---Milwaukee is just a quick plane ride away---and far as the heart goes, it is merely a hop, skip, and a jump away--please keep us posted --hope you know how much we care!!

We Love You,
The Pontiuses--xoxo
