At least you know of a few.<br /><br />Really, while I know it's quite hard for you, Charity, I'm more sympathetic toward your children. Some of them are about my age and I know that I would absolutely hate to move. It feels like I've been here forever, though in reality it's only been eight years, and the friends I've made throughout my life are here.Brooke R.

But there is the slight possibility that we could be moving to Florida next year. Yep, America's Florida. So I totally get what you're saying. Part of me says, Yeah let's do it, and the rest of me is saying no way, Jose! <br /><br />I hope the move goes smoothly for you, Charity. :-)Cally Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313803959936813426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-62671500901066707122012-10-05T21:40:27.179-05:002012-10-05T21:40:27.179-05:00I was born and raised in Little Rock, Ar but I now...I was born and raised in Little Rock, Ar but I now call Central Texas home.
