Moving to Arizona

It's been official for some time, but now it's starting to feel real. One more week and we'll be loading the moving truck with the last of our possessions (that would be the second 26ft truck) and cleaning the house for the last time (the 12th time in 6 years I think) and getting ready to hit the road for Arizona (4 adults - thanks Dad and Uncle Mike for helping - 3 squirrely kids and 1 very mature guinea pig traveling in a 26ft moving truck, a 21ft RV, my Honda Odyssey and Uncle Mike's pickup truck). Note to self: make sure AAA is paid up and I have the cards handy; bring a shoebox and shovel in case Cocoa the guinea pig should, well you know.

People keep asking me what I think about it all. What do I think... Well I'm very excited about the new adventures we'll be having - new house, new business, new places to explore. I'm excited to be closer to family and all the family activities like Grandma taking the kids for the weekend, Thanksgiving at my house with a ba-zillion people, Auntie taking the kids for the weekend, visiting Grandma's cabin in Strawberry, Grandma and Auntie taking the kids for the weekend. Did I mention Grandma and/or Auntie taking the kids for the weekend? Those sorts of things.

But I'm sad too. We've been in Boise 16 years now and this house 6 years and it's the longest I've been in any town and house. And in that time I have found the MOST AMAZING FRIENDS anyone could ever ask for. With them I can be my self and not be anxious about saying or doing the "wrong" thing. They get my sense of humor. Why they're even throwing me a Go Away Party! going away, go away? hhhmmm...... Well they even are having it at my house so that I don't have to spend all that extra money on gas driving somewhere - I just have to clean an extra time before the party.... hhhmmm..... I know I'll not find friends in Arizona as great as my friends are here!!! Why I'll bet they've never planned a homeschool homebirth field trip ever!!! Too bad Kyle was breach - that field trip would have been soooo cool. LOL!

Unfortunately for me I'm super-bad at keeping in touch. I'm an out-of-sight out-of-mind kind of gal. But I've been inspired by several of my friends' blog sites and encouraged by others to create a blog site. I've been told it's very easy and not so time consuming and truth be told if I just stopped playing Spider Solitaire I'd have more than enough time to publish a blog site, clean my house, homeschool my kids, manage the books for the business etc. etc. So here is the inaugural keep-in-touch blog site for all the well-loved people in my life!!! And you know who you are!!! Here's to having Moore Fun in Arizona!!!
