Remember the times when all you did was just go through each day "living the life?" Those moments when you know you are planted and will be staying in a house for quite a while kind of feeling. We've be planted in our home for 4 1/2 years in South Central part of the state. We live on a pretty nice corner lot in town, where the yard stretches out into a fun play place. Only downfall to our yard is that there is a fence missing and that there are little valley's of hills. Everywhere!
SO when it rains it drains. All the way to the back of our yard to be exact. It can be quite the hassle when you want to go in the back and trudge around! Our deck is sweet; we've grilled there a lot and had birthday parties outside too. My house catches the full midday sunshine and I plant my butt in my laundry folding spot on the floor in the light of our front of our window often. My son spoke his first real words here and bravely pulled his
right when things started to get smoother early in our marriage. There have been a lot of really good times, memories of our dude going to school the first time too.Well, the lights are quite bright these days as our family is going to be making the transition from our current grounds to a new "stomping ground." Sometimes making decisions for yourself other than your kids (whom have always come first) can be a task. We've found it has been more recently, as we have made a choice to plant ourselves elsewhere as of summer this year! This is a HUGE change for us, but a very positive one for our family as a whole. I think we came to an agreement that we would move when our kids were younger, but the simple fact of what I WILL be up to in the future kind of just made it happen for us!
Our future plans will move us about an hour North of where we reside currently. Not only will this allow us to be closer to home to be with our children more often, but it will also reduce the drive time for the both of us. The other thing we realized is that the things our family is generally interested in; just don't happen close enough to where we live now. Also, we're excited to find out that the place we we're considering actually has a wonderful school district! Means easier transitions for the lil kiddos.
AND, I have to note this post as a dated admission and commitment that, I will be attending school come fall of 2012! I mentioned how I needed to make the scheduled things happen, and they are happening quickly! I found the passion which I will pursue. I will be studying and enhancing my radio personality and broadcasting career! I'm going to make a commitment to find something I can "dig" outside of being the other titles. I know it's going to be successful and we will make more changes in the future. I'm already set to go with admissions~ so there is that!! I'm excited. I'm ready.
The hubby is excited about not having to endure the long drive to work and back home time. I can understand why! But, he drives everywhere, and it will save on some gas money on his vehicle, and mine too. Making the move is going to give me an opportunity to pursue the marketing and promotions side of radio, which could open more doors. I am highly considering doing podcast programs for more practice! So I have to ask~ if you read this, de-lurk yourself and let me know if you'd listen in.
New adventures really are the beginning of better roads for our family. The changes will mean greater chances for doing those things we love, which includes; music, theaters, festivals, dining & expanded grocery stores! I am really excited about the new grocery store opportunities we will have closer to us. Call me silly, but any Mom with an allergen induced kid will understand. SO I will continue to be a full time stay at home Momma until the leaves turn amber shades of yellow. The lil girl will be headed to preschool too. This will be quite the test to see if she "really" wants to go as bad as she says she does! The preschool screening was nerve racking to be honest. Here I was thinking they were going to tell me she was socially not ready, her love of turtles needs to be analyzed and that she loves her Mom too much. Well apparently I was wrong, as they said she's developmentally ready. I feel like I am not ready to hear about the first time she has a note come home about her telling teachers "NO" too many times! I have faith in my SWC, lots of it. And I also have faith she will be a challenge at times, ha ha.
June is going to come quickly. So why am I announcing this here?
A few reasons. 1. Because I have family and friends that are regularly associated with me via the internet! It's not a bad thing, we are just associated with each other more often on the internet than other places it seems. I want to honor these friendships, associations and family ties by giving it a bit of time to process and then I can always answer questions via the webbernet the same! 2. Because I want to write about some things related to transitioning and some lessons I am learning. And well, I can't write about transitioning if I haven't announced it, so here it is.
This is our first time even thinking of moving (and taking it seriously) since we knew this town was a great place for our kids. We've been extremely thankful for living where we do. It has taught me so much as to what we love as a family and I feel extremely lucky to have discovered our town when we did. Now on to another town and new roads, literally- NEW ROADS!!! When they will ever fix the roads around our current neighborhood is beyond my knowledge.
So that's it. The cat's out of the bag!
