WE.ARE.MOVING.AGAIN!!!


Can you EVEN believe it?

On one hand, it feels a bit overwhelming -- we're still tying up loose ends from our most recent move WAAAAAAAYYYY back in June 2009. We just got here -- back to the Cincinnati area; to a home, friends, and ward we love. The kids are settling into school and making friends. I feel badly for them.

Things changed with Kendon's company and so, we are being relocated. Back to Texas. WE LOVE TEXAS. A lot! So we'll suck it up and take the short term pain for long term gain.

We won't EVER have to deal with the snow, ice and cold because I'm never, ever, ever moving again. We can sell the snow thrower (by the way, anyone looking for a sweet snow thrower??)

We'll be back in a place we loved with people we love. Kinda like Cinci, only warmer. There are miles of bike trails, lots of golf courses, lakes, and awesome TexMex food. (Pappasito's here we come!)

Kendon will be back in the field working with "his people", which he LOVES... Corporate HQ is NOT his favorite thing. That reality hit with this most recent move. This is his second stint at Corporate HQ and frankly, the first time he didn't know any better. After four years at HQ, often working 16 - 20 hour days, he got transferred to a "field" position. We moved to Texas and he worked out of a home office. Even though he was working, he was home. Madi grew up having him around. When he wasn't travelling, he was home and she could walk by his office and wave at him, blow him a kiss, share a quick hug or tell him a story about her day. She has really missed that since we moved back to Cinci. It's been three months and she still asks "Where's dad?"

I'll go back to work, too. And the kids will be back in familiar surroundings. Who knows, depending on where we find a home, we may even be in the same schools and ward as we were before. We're looking forward, anticipating our return to a place we love. We're ready.

House is on the market and it looks great! Anyone out there wanna buy it?
