Changes to My Parent Trap

Well, the blog is not changing, at least not yet....but my Parent Trap, aka my home will be. Tim decided (well, we decided) to make a big change in our lives, hopefully improving them for the better. We will be relocating our home, our jobs, our kids, our LIVES to Huntsville, Alabama.

Huntsville, Alabama?

Yes, Alabama. Sweet Home Alabama. Forrest Gump's Alabama. Roll Tide (if that's how you say it) Alabama (Go Gators!). Yikes! See my accompanying photo - scary! These are the people that live in Alabama - rednecks! I have never resided anywhere but Florida, except when I was born in Colorado and then one year in Atlanta, when I was nine, so my father could get his Master's Degree at Georgia Tech.

You can read more on Tim's blog why we are going to the land of the deep South (even though we are technically more south than they are right now). He gives all the dirty details over at Florida Sun Dog blog, which maybe now should be Alabama Hog Blog or something like that. We are all kind of freaked out by facing such a monumental move. I wake up all the time, every night, obsessed with moving details and how we are going to fit our piles of stuff into a rental. The kids are freaking out because they are changing schools - again! Annie's been to seven schools so far, including three preschools. She's been facing moves and life like we are in the military. Emily was a toddler when we moved in with my parents after nearly going bankrupt. So she's sad about leaving Grandma and Grandpa. We will be faced with the challenges of living in a new city, new schools, new lives with no relatives or friends to help.


More to come on this life-changing event soon - I have to stop writing - my heart is racing again.
