They say home is where the heart is. Well, if you know me, you know my heart is in Arizona.
And, yes, I am fully aware of how ungrateful I sound. It's mine. I own it. But if you could just understand for one small moment, I would really appreciate it. I had lived in Arizona for nearly 30 yrs. I think you can relate that, sometimes, the place you live simply becomes a part of you. Penetrates your exterior walls making the character of your surroundings part of your character as well.
You've seen Jersey Shore, right?
Paul was supposed to graduate UNL (University of Nebraska, Lincoln) this spring which would have set him up to start his teaching certification course this summer. Due to a scheduling issue, he will not be able to graduate in time. The teaching certification course starts only once a year. Neither one of us thought it was in our best interest to wait until the following year for him to start that course when there are several wonderful schools in the Phoenix valley. He will be graduating mid-summer and getting his teaching degree in AZ.
So here we come! Moving back home middle of this summer! I'm so very excited but not without the very real understanding that this move comes with it's own set of challenges.
Where will we live? What will we do for work? How will we handle child care until The Boy is in kindergarten (fall of 2012)?

Well, the good news is, we have answers to some of those questions. Where we are going to rest our heads when we first get there being the most important one at this point. More to come on that later.
For now, I'm just excited to tell you we are coming home - and soon! We are already busy going through our things, deciding what makes the cut for the very small truck we will be using to move back and what gets the heave-ho. I LOVE getting rid of stuff. Feels to cleansing. Freeing! I fell out of love with "stuff" before we even moved here. Something God worked very hard to change in me.
Hmm...think He knew what was in store down the road? :)
So, I will keep you posted and by keeping you posted I mean I will probably talk endlessly about this. Home is definitely where the heart is and since my heart is in Arizona, I need to get the rest of my booty there, too!
You're going to help me unpack, right?
