New Beginnings in Paradise....




Poor, neglected blog....it has literally been years (ok months that feel like years) since I've looked at our blog, let alone post anything to it........I guess I did post in the fall ( a few months ago, but that seems like sooo long ago....)
SOOO much has happened, first off it's no longer "good1 happenings in Suffolk, VA" as you can tell from our new sub title.....all our "happenings" are now occuring in Palm City Florida. Yes, "we've loaded up the truck and moved to, well Palm City Florida." Mike took a job transfer to his company's corporate office in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. So after 10 grueling months apart, our house in VA finally sold & we are now waiting to move into our new home in Palm City at the end of the month. My job at FBCS ended last August & Matthew has started school here in Florida in the public school.






We had to leave all our dear friends, soccer family & neighbors in Virginia & move to paradise in Florida (tough job but hey someone's got to do it).....we do miss ALL our friends SO much but we are moving forward. Matthew has started playing with a new soccer team & hopefully as soon as we get settled we'll start making new friends & start feeling like we're "home". All of our belongings are still in storage & we are so missing our "things" of everyday living. Especially OUR beds.....wow, can not WAIT to have a good night's sleep!!

Since it feels like we're beginning a new adventure, maybe it's time to begin blogging again to note these changing times in our lives. Right now it's hard to not feel we're "on vacation" since we're not settled into "home" but I'm sure for Matthew & Mike things seem a bit normal since they're into their routines of school & work each day. I know in 2 weeks I will not be bored as our household goods arrive & I begin setting up our new home but right now it seems odd to be able to sit back, relax & enjoy these beautiful days!! I know, I know I really should take advantage of this time & "soak it up" but after working so hard from the time I was 16 it seems weird to not be hitting the daily grind putting in the 8~5 & rushing home to get everything else done.......SO if I must, I'll soak up the sun, enjoy the surf & sand and patiently wait to start unpacking all those boxes!
