You hit the nail on the head.. it always feels just about the time we’re nice and settled it’s time to do it all over again. As hectic and crazy as it all can be (and believe me I go nuts, my husband is a saint to put up with me) I always view it as an adventure and opportunity. We moved to CT from FL and I don’t miss FL one teeny tiny little bit. I always joke “Florida, where old people go to die”. hehe I’m pretty sure I should have been born in the New England area and NOT in GA where I’m originally from.

Good luck with it and if you need any packing tips I’m your girl! lol

Chris – I will continue it. Not only is it all about cooking, it’s about telling all our readers and friends and families what we’re up to. Thanks for considering me one of the few friends too, I appreciate it so much.

Wherever in the world you build your next home, I hope you continue your blog. You have great talent in cooking as well as writing. You are one of the few friends at Foodbuzz that I follow. Good luck, Candy!

Chiara – I agree it’s too humid down there :) If I can’t handle how humid it is in Cancun each time I went, I surely can’t handle Florida. It’s probably scary driving down there with all the 100 year olds on the road too :P

Kier – the move isn’t definite. Still crossing our fingers, but I’ll let you know. I won’t move without seeing you guys!

Florida is too hot and humid for me. Not to mention that everyone is 100 years old and there isn’t much to do where I live. Ideally, I would like to go back to Europe and live there for a while. We’ll see…

April – You know what, I never thought of people moving who didn’t WANT to move. Like, to be happy where they are. I guess that would be sad if they had to pack up and go. I mean, I’m nervous about finding the right place to live, but besides that I feel like I’d adapt pretty fast. Thing is, I never felt like I belonged where I grew up. Like I was always waiting to go somewhere else. But I can’t imagine moving every 3-4 years like you have. It must feel like once you finally get settled and used to your surroundings, you have to pack again. But at least you and your hubby are together when you find a new place again :)

Irish Pirate – I kept some of my school artwork. It reminded me of the time I actually had some talent :P I hope it sparks some creativity in me, what little I have left. I think I never got around to cleaning my room because I never felt like I had a real place I could call ‘home’ yet, and I always considered my parents house my home, and my apartment just an apartment. I hope everything goes well for our possibility for moving too (fingers crossed!) Oh, and don’t forget Star Wars.

Hope everything works out! I had to go through all of my old stuff before I moved down with JB. It was horrendous! I would do purges every now and then growing up, but I had 200+ beanie babies, towers of notebooks, piles of barbies, school artwork, etc. I was pretty proud of myself when I let it all go. I allowed myself time to reminisce over each one and then happily chucked it out or gave to goodwill, only keeping a few items of serious significance to me. And you know what’s sad? I still have that single box filled with memories in my office and I haven’t unpacked it yet. I am super excited for you and I hope everything goes awesome for you guys!

PS: X-Files was da-bomb. And so was Star Trek TNG and I watched that religiously as well.

Ok, it’s totally different if you WANT to move. I really do enjoy it more than I thought I would. I’m living places I never would have chosen, seeing things I may not have had an opportunity to and doing it all with my favorite person, my hubs. So, all the boxes, paper and anxiety of finding a new place to make home is really worth it. You sound excited about it and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you it all works out. :o)

Chiara – Really, move from Florida? I always thought every place would be happier than Upstate NY. Where would you love to move to?

April – Sympathies?! No need. I’ve been waiting to move my whole life. There was always a reason not to. I always ended up stuck where I was, and part of it was me not trying harder to move. I’d take a job here, or in a nearby town, or back here again, etc. I always waited for my life to start.

As someone who moves every 3-4 years you have my sympathies if you do indeed move. It’s fun and utterly exhausting all rolled into one. I’m a professional box un-packer.

How neat that you have all that stuff to reflect back on. Somehow my yearbooks got lost and I’m pretty sure that’s a good thing! lol

You might be moving, uh? Well, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. I’d love to move too, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen super soon.
PS: the x-files rock!!!
