Getting Settled.
Well, we finally made it. We are in Florida.
It's been a busy week. The movers came and packed us up and then we were on the road to our new home.
Mark did a great job finding a house for us to rent. The neighborhood is great and so far everyone we've met is very friendly!
We've been working on getting settled in and finding our way around. We've managed to get quite a bit of unpacking done but still have a garage full of boxes to sort and go through. I'm so glad I got rid of a lot of stuff before we moved! Since Mark is home from work this week and the kids are home form school, we also decided on enjoying some much needed family time. We spent an afternoon at the beach and another at the zoo.
Although our things are here and we are starting to settle in, it still doesn't feel "real" yet. I'm sure once the kids get back into school and Mark goes back to work, I'll find a routine. Then it will feel more like home. Even so, I'm enjoying being here and am glad we made the move.

Florida or Bust!
Well, the time has finally come! We sold the house in Ohio and the family is getting ready to move down to Florida! It's going to be a busy few weeks getting everything ready to go and then getting settled in a new home.
I am feeling so many emotions at the moment.
I am, of course, very happy to finally be moving. It's been a long few months with Mark living in Florida while the rest of us were still here in Ohio. It will be nice to be together again.
I am also a bit sad. My two oldest kids will be staying here in Ohio. They are both adults and I can't expect them to pack up their lives and follow me wherever I go! They have their lives here. I will miss them both and my grandson very much! I'm sure they'll come down to visit when possible but it will be hard only seeing them a couple times throughout the year.
I am also feeling a bit nervous and excited! Starting all over is never easy. I will need to become familiar with the area and try to make new friends. I've gotten comfortable here in Ohio but it's now time to move on and start something new. It's a bit scary and exciting all at once!
I worry a little about my three younger kids. Change isn't easy for anyone. I hope it isn't too difficult for them to start over in a new school and a new neighborhood. I hope they adjust quickly and make new friends. I will do what I can to make the transition for them as easy as possible. I hope they like Florida!
I'll need to remember to take one day at a time and just go with the flow. I'm sure in the beginning it will be a little difficult but in no time, Florida will feel like home!
