One small step for familykind....One giant leap toward Insanity.

We are moving. There I said it out loud!

I'm scared. Nervous. And surprisingly excited about the idea.

Last time we moved it was 70 yards. From one side of our current building to the other. Time before that was about 20 miles. Same town, same job, same friends etc..

This time, it's going to be about 700 miles. New state and town. New jobs. No family or friends. Everything foreign.

I knew the day would come. I love Naples, but it is expensive. The summers never end. The job market is going nowhere and we would need to hit the lottery to ever own our own home again. We have spoke about once the kids were out of HS, we would find a new location that better suited us. Low and behold, this is the kids idea. Girl child is in 10th grade this year. Her thought process is that she will be leaving her friends in 2 years anyway so why not do it a couple years earlier. Boy childs reasoning is that he starts HS next year. Since he goes to a middle school out of his zone, he will have to make all new friends anyway. Why not do it in another state.

Our first journey of exploration is happening in 6 weeks. After celebrating the holidays with the family, we are packing up for a few days to go check things out. We won't be making a move until the end of next summer, so we have time to plan and plot.

We are doing this as a family venture. All 4 of us on board. We have each picked a different region of the state to research. Seems to be all we talk about. We're counting the days. I will report as things progress.. I know there will be giant mountains to scale. And not just the type you drive over or hike up.

Look out South Carolina....here we come.

Well we only just decided recently after much quizing of the children. I could not believe they all 3 ganged up on me. Yes I was the most resistant. Mom and dad just learned of this in the last couple days. And beyond that, this blog was my first admittance that its happening...at least the thought process part anyway. Jury is still out on what is to come.

Tired of workin so hard to be soo poor.
