Our new home

Fathers and Sons Campout Lake Chewalla, Mississippi

Spencer and I had a great time.

We are moving to Mississiippi

I did not anticipate moving would be so stressful. I think I was focusing on the positive side...good job, new home, more friends, new places and things. I failed to take into account the stress of selling our home (a first for Jalayne and I) including, but not limited to, a decling national housing market, an oversupply of homes in our immediate area, picky buyers, dissapointing offers, counter-offers, waiting, contingencies and inspection modification requests out the wazoo, re-siding the entire house, paperwork scanned and then scanned again...I could go on seemingly forever. In the end I guess we should simply be thankful we sold the home at a good price. It is hard to know if we should have held out for a better offer, but in the end I feel that moving sooner than later will be good for the family. All along we had hoped to get the kids in school at our new locale for at least a month, and it looks like we are on track to meet that goal.

The lesson I am taking away from all of this so far is be prepared...physically, menatally and spiritually.

Shoulder surgery done. More messed up than they thought. Couldnt fix with the scope, had to do open surgery. Longer recovery. Enjoy the photos.
