Much has happened since my last post in February. First and foremost, thanks to all of you who inquired about my brief rest from blogging. I had just come to a point where I needed a rest. I won't be back to blogging on a full time three to four times a week basis to start with but will gradually get back into it.
Since my February post, my husband and I decided that we were going to make a move to Florida. It is about a 14 hour drive by car. We recently drove down to look at places to rent and was fortunate to find a new two bedroom duplex which was to be completed by June 11, (coincidentally the time our lease is up where we are now). I have been happily packing (I don't think happy really describes how I feel about packing LOL) and getting rid of things that we don't want to take with us. It is always a JOB to pack up but this move starts us on a new adventure. The location of the duplex is 6 miles from the beach, a quick drive. After looking at some beach cottages along the beach we decided that it might be a bit to close with all the activity during the holiday season so that is why we opted for the place we decided on.

In past posts, I'm sure I've made references to my childhood visits to see my Aunt and Grandparents when they lived here. It is a place that I loved and could never get enough of. Just walking along the shore barefoot and looking out at the fast Gulf of Mexico takes my breath away and brings to me a sense of peace and contentment. I actually never thought we would live there though...so this is a dream come true for me.

Hello Lucia,
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to hear from you. We are really excited about moving to Florida. I can't wait to show you all the photos.
I will be making rounds again to visit people after we make our move. Right now, I have been very busy packing and organizing things for the move.
I hope everything is going good for you and your family and I look forward to your visits once I get back into the groove of writing more regularly.

Kris: Oh, so glad to see this update! I just happened to be on Google+ (where I never, ever go...) and saw this! We had all wondered what happened to you.
ReplyDeleteLots of luck with the move. It's stressful, but exciting at the same time. I look forward to reconnecting and seeing your new place!
Kris,
ReplyDeleteI didn't know if you were ever coming back to blogging. I did miss you, and came to visit from time to time to see if any new posts were up. I heard it is beautiful in Florida, and am looking forward to seeing more pictures of the area.
Have a relaxing beachy weekend.
Love,
~Sheri
