Saying Goodbye to Pennsylvania
Saying “goodbye” to our home of eight years and looking forward to our new life in Missouri. Pennsylvania has been our home for the last 15 years. Sometimes I can’t believe it’s been that long. Sometimes it feels longer. When we first arrived, Miss 17 was 2 years old, Mr. and Miss 15 weren’t crawling and Miss 14 was still tucked safely inside my uterus. I know how much she likes it when I throw that word around. Now Miss 17 is preparing for her first year of college. Mr. 15 is thinking about getting his driver’s license and posing with adjusting the mirrors in my car. Miss 15 is…

Guest Post: My Daughter Shares Her Feelings on Moving
As you may know by now, my family is in the process of moving to Missouri from Pennsylvania. This whole event has been a whirlwind ~ everything is just going so quickly.

For years, the hubs and I have watched “House Hunters” on HGTV and snickered as the wives shed tears as they talked about leaving their homes. Today I became that wife and my husband snickered.

Welcome to My New Home
After much househunting, I’ve finally settled on a new home and I think I’ll be very happy in my new neighborhood. I’d like to thank Kat J. Robertson for packing and unpacking the boxes for me. She also took care of the interior decorating (also known as setting up my domain, importing my blog and all of its belongings and tweaking the CSS) for me. She did a fabulous job, no? Please take a look around and let me know what you think. There’s a fresh pot of coffee brewing and, if you check the fridge, you’ll find fresh fruit (this is a healthy house, afterall).
