The wheels of change are beginning to turn.

We are starting to liquidate our belongings for the move.  I have given away some furniture, put some things on craigslist.  and made a pile for goodwill.   Have you seen anything of mine you like...make me an offer.

Paul is Home...YEA!!!!

Paul came home from week long boy scout camp I already had so much to tell him.  But when he pulled up to the house he was greeted by a police car.

  I had called the police about an hour earlier I found a t shirt in the front yard covered in blood.  I know, I know I watch too much TV.  The police got here about 10 minutes before Paul arrived.  What a dramatic homecoming.

After a quick explanation about the police,  and breaking all the news the cat first, he was sad but he was expecting it.  The Moving away news is slowly sinking in, he is sad that he is leaving his friends and family and everything he has ever known but he  sees the benefit of a fresh start.

The move.

We are moving to Lincoln, Nebraska. We are in a weird place right now and I thought maybe a change would be good for us right now. I have been out of work for over a year, Paul has to change schools anyway and we don't have a contract on the house we are renting. I have lived in this area my whole life, my son has had some of the same teachers i had growing up. I live in the same ward as when i was a kid. I know all the shortcuts and backstreets to avoid traffic or a train. This is my world, this is what I know. This is what I am leaving.

Paul has only lived in clear lake since he was 1. This is where our family is. this is where his life is He is at boy scout camp this week and is not aware of the decision I have made. He comes home Saturday. should be in interesting day (his cat also died while he was gone) poor kid he was only gone for a week and everything changed. I know this is the right decision for us. but it is a hard one.

My plan is to actually use this blog to document this move and transition from Houston to Lincoln. Fasten your seatbelts...it's going to be a bumpy ride
