GOING BACK TO CALI

Soooo we have an announcement to make - We're moving back to California!!!!

I am both excited and terrified. 

As much as I LOVE living near my family, I have to accept that Michigan is no longer home for me. Don't get me wrong - I love Michigan for so many reasons, but there is one thing that I cannot seem to get past - WINTER! I've always hated the cold, but my years spent in California seem to have ruined me for winter for good. I become a useless hermit for the duration and it is very apparent that I cannot live like this long-term. The boys deserve a mommy who can stand to leave the house between the months of November and April :-)

We're headed back in January. Again, I am excited and terrified about the move. I know that I will miss my family so, so, SO much, but they have promised to visit often and, now that I'm not working, I will be able to travel home during summers with the boys and stay for longish visits. 

Eek - let the new adventure begin!

    Well for sure I am going to miss you all so very much. I know how much you both dislike the snow and cold.It is going to be so hard to see you go. Thank you for sharing the last two years with us. I am so sad to see you go, but so happy to know you are going to enjoy your life where it's nice an warm. :-)

    I'm going to miss you guys terribly! Seriously it's going to be really, really tough to leave you all. It's been so nice to have the whole family close together.
