I'm moving...again?

Okay, not really, but it kind of feels like it. Here's why...Do you remember the craziness when we first moved out here, with finding a house and everything? So, we started the kids in the school where we thought we were going to move, and then didn't move there. The house we bought is literally a street OUT of the boundary. We were told it shouldn't be a big deal, we could get a "boundary exception. I thought filling out the paper work was a mere formality. Ha, not so. Well, we got word today, that they had room for Hayden, but Hannah would have to attend the "other" school. That's fine but school #1 is very close. School #2 is about 10 minutes away. Long story short, they both start at the other school. But what really stinks??? School #2 closes next year and the kids will switch to yet again to another school. Granted everybody (in the school teachers and friends) will make that move AND it is to a brand new school, but they just made friends. Most of my friends' kids go to school #1. Bummer. Hayden and Hannah? They are acting like it's okay fine by them. Why can't it be okay for me?

Then, the day that I got home from my lovely weekend in San Fran, Scott tells me that they are splitting wards and rearranging boundaries at church...making 5 wards out of 3. Sorry for you non-Mormon folk that don't understand the jargon. But remember, we don't choose where we go to church, where we go (which congregation) depends on where we live. So, anyway, we live on the tip of our current ward as is, and most likely will be in a new ward...with new people. Well, that just stinks.

Well, that does feel better to vent. Moving on to happier news...we are leaving Saturday morning early to go to Disney World. Yes, WORLD, in Florida. It makes perfect sense that we fly across the country when we have Disney Land a few hours away, right? haha. Really, I love Disney and can't WAIT to go. We come back just in time to start...school...at the new school. I'm teaching my kids to be flexible, right?

When we moved to L.A. our ward split about 3 months after we moved in and then the same thing happened in Houston! It's a bummer...but just think how many mjore people you'll know!

Have fun at the "World"! Your kids will have a great time!

Change is not my favorite thing either. I understand but I just know this will be a good thing for you. We are so happy to be packing bags for the trip to Disney with Heather and her family.

What's so frustrating is that you know that eventually it will all be OK, but so hard to take right now, just as you're starting to feel settled and 'at home'. Sigh.
