Nomads No More (Well, One Last Time)
The husband and I have always been wanderers. If not in actual life, then in our heads. We were ready to drop everything and move to China. We’d move just about anywhere in the world. Being in Arkansas was a product of what happened last summer, and I knew it wouldn’t be permanent.

We’re headed to San Diego, where we will be for a while.
We’re still nomads at heart, but Max is getting older, and needs stability. He can’t fear we’ll move every year. So we’re dedicated to staying around for a while so he can build roots.
As for me, I’m thrilled. I’ve always wanted to live in San Diego. It’s like Orlando, only moderate temperatures year ’round (I can do without humidity). There are so many things I want to do there, like visit all the museums at Balboa park, shop at the green, eco friendly grocery stores, enjoy the sunshine, take Max to Legoland, learn to surf (after the snowboard incident I may wait a while on this goal)…and we’ve got time to do it all.
I actually have a long-time friend in San Diego, so that’s an added bonus. And there’s an IKEA! Heaven.
I’ll miss a few (very few) people here, but I’m grateful for the bonus time I’ve gotten to spend with people like my mom, best friend and her family.
Meanwhile, my house is emptying out and I can’t find anything.
Mom is driving with Max and I to California then flying back. We’re going across Route 66 for an adventure. I’ll be taking lots of photos w/ my new camera, so stay tuned for that (but forgive me if I don’t have time to post them!).
Wish me well. See you across country!
