It's been a while. Somehow, the urge to tell the www what's going on in our lives seem to have drop way down low in the scheme of things to do.
Much has happened.
Not the least of which have been two birthdays. The big girl's 27th and the coming of age of my youngest girl. Happy 21st Birthday, Nic! Hope you will always treasure the gift of life and the little gift we got you for the special day.
And my boy has been summoned to register for the military. The little red dot is relentless in its governance. Tying up my life savings is not enough surety. Two years before he could even graduate from high school, he must sign up for his national service.
And when he goes, the Man and I will relocate to a place just as hot and humid as the little red dot. We will miss the balmy weather and rolling hills and mountains of California. We will miss our friends here, friends who openly welcome us, strangers that we were, into their homes and heath just because we came from the same place. Friends who have come to be a surrogate family when our own are so far away. They have not been told. Wonder what reactions we will get.
It will be a new adventure. A new place to get to know and to enjoy. And hopefully, enjoy with more financial freedom. The change may come earlier than two years. Must think of creative alternatives to pulling my boy in his last year of high school and transplanting into a new environment. The rebellion will be brutal.
Note to self: call mom.
