We started really going through things last night, I am frantically trying to down size our "stuff." None of us like to part with things, it is sad and funny at the same time. With a start date of Aug 1 for him, this stuff has to FLY out the door.
I know that our friends are just stunned at our decision and that it is a sudden one, however we have been planning this for a long time. We have just never had the opportunity to have a chance at a successful move.
I can not say that I am not scared! I am terrified - especially after turning in my notice after 7 years of employment. I have to have faith that things will fall where they need to be. The cards look right.
We are not moving to FL because of love for Disney. That would be seriously a bad decision. If you think that is why we are going then you really don't know me very well. We know that living there and vacationing there are two different things. We know that the school system there is often over crowded. We know that there are a lot of different cultures there. We know that there are "scary" people there. We know that it is hot.
BUT...
I am not 45 minutes from the ocean here- sue me, after all I am a Pisces. Maybe I do have a piece of gypsy in my heart.
We also know that we do not what our kids to grow up here in the "valley" and feel like they have to stay here because it is "home." This area is becoming more depressed by the month. I know what you are going to say, don't tell me that it is like that every where. I am sure it is. We also share concerns about the pollution of this area that seems to be the elephant in the room.

Plus the little fact that there are no school buses for the first princess and our school systems in general are lacking.
We love the outdoors, fishing, golfing,and exploring. I am so happy that we enjoy the same types of things. So amazing how things have changed in the past few years.

We have a game plan of sorts, I am looking right now at a short term lease in Central FL, Kev's job said that we can choose what part, they have spots on location teams from Orlando area to Tampa. I have been researching the Lakeland area, but I am still unsure until I can get there and get my feet on the streets. Nursing jobs are being applied for, and I received a call back from a school nurse position, however I can't do anymore until I obtain my FL license.
Am I going to miss my family and friends? OF COURSE, I still am a little shocked that I am doing this. I have closet hopes that they will not be able to live without us and come visit A LOT or at least snowbird.
