Yes, you heard right! We've decided to pick up our little family and MOVE AGAIN!
I guess it was only a matter of time. As I've written about in past posts, we've been going back and forth to Florida for about 8 months now. The drive has not been a problem at all. We've actually gotten so good with our little system, that it was pretty easy a trip.
Our dilemma would come when it was time to come back to NC. We'd look at each other and convince ourselves to "stay another week (or two)!" We'd be at the beach or at our favorite restaurant, or hanging out with Nanny & Poppy, or going to a home school group field trip....and we'd say the same thing...."let's just stay another week (or two)!" LOL
We really had to be honest with ourselves. We had to decide what we wanted and where we wanted to be! We came to the conclusion that the opportunities down in FL are more plentiful for us. The access to anything really is so great! We were able to find a house that suits our needs and its in an area that will be fantastic for the kids. Parks, library, museums, the list goes on.
So in 3 weeks we will be packing our life onto a moving truck and going back to the very city we so badly wanted to get away from!!!! Its ironic. Bu we can also admit when something is not working. When we left FL, our situation was completely different. Especially financially. Our expenses were growing with the real estate market and we felt we better get out before it was too late. Also, A was in public school and it was grueling! Kindergarten felt like college, or prison for that matter...take your pick! I guess we needed to come up here to let go and gain courage to jump into our homeschooling journey. So we're returning with a different lifestyle, a different perspective and a better financial picture too!
And it'll be awfully nice to have the grandparents close by!!!!!!!!!! It takes a village. Well, I'll settle for a couple family members:)
Until later.
