I think I'll take a break from the Mexico review to tell you all how incredably excited I am to be moving to Pennsylvania in just over a month. Am I neverous? Of course! Scared? Just a little. Do I have questions and doubts? Milions of them! For the most part, I am excited. I can't wait to live close to my dad, grandma, cousins and aunts so that we can share our lives again. I miss so much of the simple way they live. I can't wait for dinners at grandma's house, eating soft serve ice cream in the back of the truck while we sing silly songs and laugh at each other's ice cream moustaches, fishing with dad at the pond behind his house, and family outings to whatever crazy landmark my aunt can find. The ability to be outdoors just by stepping out my front door and not having to drive to a park or nature reserve is also giving me the warm fuzzies. I'm ready to learn the secrets of home made chicken noodle soup and canning from my grandma. I'm excited for Erin to experinece all of these things too.

You paint a beautiful picture of family...I pray that you take every single minute of those years that you will have and store them away in a safe place.. Those memories will last you a life time,,, I miss so much the family dinners and the laughter.... Laugh a little for me each time you gather,, who knows,,, me and Dennis may come and join you one summers day,,,,,,, we will have a laugh and cold glass of tea....

it's funny that we could be sisters, but we're making opposite moves.

I cant wait for you to go Sandy. I am so excited for you. You know I will be coming to visit as often as possible. I love Lou and well.. the whole family and am so glad we have stayed close. It will be good to see them, its been to long. This will be a good move for you and Erin. I second the emotion of holding onto memories... sometimes it is all you will have. Grasp every moment you have and hold it close to your heart.
I love you
Mom

Gosh, it is getting close, huh?

I'm excited for you.

I'm glad you are going to be out of California - you know I've always worried about you falling off into the ocean :)
