Yes we are! I haven't updated the blog because life just got in the way. But now we are facing one of the most biggest challenges in our lives. We are leaving the active duty for national guard (not really by choice), but we are talking about someone who was in the military for 15 years. It's really hard to explain the emotion to the civilian world. We spent months trying to pin point exactly where to go next. It was a very hard decision not to go back to California, as much as we miss our extended families A) It's not affordable B) we don't have a place to stay and taking in a family of four is a lot. We really enjoy living in the North West and the Army left us here for 6 long years, so this is the life the kids have known.
The reason why we aren't staying in Washington is the constant overcast weather, I tried my best to accept it, I just can't. Eight sunless months out of a year is just too much for me, I need sun! Then we thought about Oregon but again the weather in the parts we wanted to live is the same as Washington. So then came Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and at last Texas. Idaho just really stuck out to us and I have friends/met people from Idaho each single person has talked about how great it is and I have came across a lot of Californian's living there. It's beautiful, it's cheaper, it's smaller and it's the country, so why not? Fast forward, here I sit today typing this and just in 16 days we will be on our way to Idaho and to start a new life. And no we have never been there!
So did you ever want to move away from home? What's holding you back? You only live once, maybe we aren't so crazy after all.
