Big news!

We didn't get up at 4 am for a 7 o'clock flight just... To see this well known castle...
Or to see Mickey and all his pals on the 4th of July!


Not even to see these crazy humongous birds at a tiny feeder...


Or spending time on the beach...

We really came to see a few of these! Trees??? No, silly...houses! That's right, we are moving to sunny Florida! We have been praying for God to put us back in the South for many months. (Michigan is beautiful, but oh so cold for this southern girl) God answered our prayers with an amazing job for Hubby. He still had his job here, but the economy up here is so ify that we decided to be proactive. Covering all in prayer and going out on faith for a job...in the South.



Little man loved the ocean. I think we will spend many days on this beach. He tried so hard to boogie board. Hmm...will he end up being one of those surfer dudes ?!?

Ya gotta love seeing Palm trees next to Magnolia trees! We really enjoyed hanging out at the pool looking up at Palms and a beautiful blue sky. Now y'all see why I was (am) so tired, tons happening here, but all good. I think I can get used to those warm evenings by the pool with a slight scent of Magnolia blossom in the air.

Oh, I'm so excited for you! Being a Southern girl myself, I don't think I could ever survive the cold winters up north. Wishing you many sunny days ahead!

Oh my goodness! I know that you wanted to move back south for ages. I'm thrilled for you! Tell Little Man I said he looks great on the beach. I bet you'll love it down in the sunshine state.

Good luck with the move and the house hunting. And good luck with your hubby's new job.

Best Wishes!

I got so excited about you coming back to the South, that I seriously misspelled a word.
Welcome back to the South! Blessings for the transition.

Oh to be able to move to where your heart calls. I hear you there. Our calling is the Pacific Northwest for cooler temperatures and the deep dark green of the forests.

I came by to sit a spell and thank you for stopping by yesterday on my blog. I must say I have to become a follower now and hope you do as well.

Love and Hugs ~ Kat

I can't blame you for wanting to leave MI...I was born and raised here, girl, and I want to go south, too! My heart's in Alabama where my girl lives now. I wish you the best and hope you keep up with your blog. Best wishes for selling your house here...that's not going to be easy in this economy!
