Guess what? We're moving!

I know what you're thinking.

"Wow! They're moving?! They never move! That's so unlike them!"

But change is good. It breaks up the monotony, helps you see things from a different perspective...

Plus the water turned yellow. When I first started noticing it, I thought the kids weren't flushing properly but then it showed up in the kitchen. And then the front burner on the stove started sparking and getting smoky. I turned off. But when the dryer stopped working...that was it. I said, "I've had it! We're moving."

So, we bought a house. And then the dryer starting working again.

But, by then it was too late. We were committed.

And since we're getting a new house, I thought it would be a good time to start a new blog.

Wanna hear a funny story?

So, I had a blog set up at wordpress using a suggestion I got here. I really liked it. I thought it would be great. Then I mispelled duelling. I mean dueling. Whatever.

Then, I realized if that's the address, that's what people will be typing and it could be confusing. Not only that, since it's a play on words, lots of random people won't get it. My plan was to change the title around until something worked (since the title and address can be different. The address, of course, can not change but the title can change all the time).

So, then I decided to just delete it. It just didn't work. And then I used something that no one here had suggested. So that makes me feel a little bad. But that's what I did.

So, we are moving to a different blog and a different house. Normally I would think that would be a very boring topic to blog about, but then I realized that people might want to read about it just so they can be glad it's not them.

Here is the new blog. Right here. But, wait. Before you go over. Keep in mind we just moved, so there are a few boxes I still need to unpack. I don't even have curtains up. And I can't figure out how to hang pictures in wordpress (they come out gargantuan).

Also. We're moving in one week. Yeah. So, I'll try to post again soon, but don't hold it against me if it takes awhile. I'll try to take pictures though (if I ever figure out how to post them).

Hey, we're moving in a week, too! Race you for newspapers and boxes. And DVDs for the kids. And patience.

8 moves in 8 years for us--bet you've got that beat, though.

No, actually, that's our ratio, too. Well, we're not at 8 years yet. This move will be the 8th if you don't count moving to NC for 6 weeks before moving to MD. (Mr. F doesn't count that. I tend to.)

How come it doesn't seem like you've moved that much?

Probably because we have moved much less spectacularly than you guys--all our moves were within the Northeast. (not that I'm complaining about that--except for France!) Plus they were kind of front-loaded: 4 in the first 3 years.
