Okay, I've been tagged with this one twice and I'm totally cheating on this because the card on my camera is full and I've been locked out of my room. SOOOOO you just get a few!
Here is my self portrait from this weekend -
It is so hard making this adjustment/move that I can't even explain it. Most people just nod and say, "Ya, moves are tough..."
Well, we have moved 9 times (and soon 10) in less than 7 years, which calculates into moving about every 8 months of our entire marriage. Ya, take a second to imagine that one (seriously!)...
- 9 wards
- 8 doctors, 13 specialists
- 8 of each utility company
- 4 car insurances
- I won't even calculate health care after living out of the country
- 9 different license plates
- 5 Universities
- 13 Jobs
- 22 callings
~ and a partridge in a pear tree! ~
Ok, that was NUTS to calculate - love the memories!!! So, now you understand the rest of my photo tags:
4. My closet - we have crammed our entire house/suitcases/clothes into a tiny closet here - this is basically what it feels like!!
5. Favorite Room: I love Kya's room at home--large and quaint with the slanted roof...
6. Favorite Shoes - I WISH Hal would let me in the bedroom, but alas, I've been locked out while he is on a conference call...To be Continue'd7. Laundry Room - sorry, no shot of that one.
8. Bathroom - this is the guest bathroom in our real home
9. Sink - This totally cheats, eh? I MISS MY KITCHEN (and yes, my sink)

I feel your pain on the moving issue. I moved sooooooo much between the ages of 20 and 30 that it's almost laughable, although it was somewhat easier since I was single much of that time. I think finding new friends has to be the hardest part of moving, even though everything you listed is a pain in the rear too. Since age 30, we've only moved twice and both times it was within a mile or two of each other.
I love your creativeness on the post-pretty good for not having access to your camera.
and soon 10? Where ya moving to? Did you find a house?
Ummmm...did you just call Dallas "home" and "real home"?? Cause maybe I know where that 10th move should be to....
After this week, I SERIOUSLY contemplated just moving back home!! But last night Hal signed the final paper so our house is leased right now and he's flying out there to pick up our stuff.
I'm not sure what Kya and I will do because we really need to visit! Meanwhile, the equity is still holed up in the home...
Michelle, you NAILED it on friends. I feel like I'm finally getting know really know people and feel settled when I'm yanked up again. All of you guys have been SO great to include me here!!!
I am so sorry about all the moving! I know what you mean too... this is the first time we have lived anywhere for longer than a year. So now I finally feel at home, and we are moving to another country where they don't even speak English... I'm just a little scared! But it always works out in the end... just keep telling yourself that! and Jess, you are an awesome person, so I am sure you will always be able to make friends.
I love Kya's room, I'm sooo impressed if you painted those stripes!
Moving is hard! It explains why you and your fam are so close though. We have moved 8 times in 7 years so not quite as often but enough to feel your pain. You are so good at making friends and such a great person! Wish we had more time here before ya moved. Maybe we will cross paths in one of our moves some day:) ha ha! Love Kya's room btw!
