New Beginnings

This will be a new experience for me. I try to write in my personal journal daily, but mostly that turns into just my daily tarot reading. But now with the school year coming to an end, hopefully work will be less busy and I'll have time to update this. My goal is to write at least once every two weeks...high expectations, huh. ;0)

This summer is going to be a time of changes for my family. I have one sister (Chandi) moving to Spain, and another sister (Alexis) moving about an hour away to attend CMU. I'm quite happy for them both. But unfortunately for us, Alexis is our most dependable babysitter. The boys LOVE her, and I know she will be sorely missed by us all (not to say that Chandi won't be missed too...but we just don't see her as often - she already lives a couple hours away).

I really admire Chandi for going out on her own. She so needs this and I'm hopeful she finds whatever it is that she's looking for. Someday Mel (my husband) and I want to travel. We have a long list of countries we'd like to visit (Japan, Italy, Greece, Ireland, Australia & New Zealand, Thailand, India) along with a long list of states within the US that we'd like to visit. However, that won't be happening for years...not until the boys are much older. It'll be interesting to see how well we manage with just our trip to Disney World this fall.

Someday we want to move out of this state. Michigan is a nice place to visit, there are some great beaches and gorgeous forests, but I don't like living here. The winter is too long and the summer is too short (although, fall is nice). We'd love to move to the west coast (Washington or Oregon) or to Hawaii. Actually, Hawaii would be our dream location. To have our own little organic farm, run totally on solar energy, and build our own tire house. ::sigh:: That would be fantastic.
