Please send strength!

I have created (I use that term loosly since I simply followed the easy to use 1-2-3 steps) a blog because I feel it is an effective way to reach my family without ever needing to touch a telephone. Anybody that has ever left me a message and was subsequently disgusted because I did not return their phone call (which is everyone with my phone number) will appreciate the honesty. I hate phones!

Now why do I need to keep in contact with my family over the internet instead of the more invasive home visit? Because as the title of the blog states... I am movin' on up (or actually over). I am making the big move from Kansas to Pennsylvania at the end of summer! In reality I am creating a blog to vent my terrifing journey across the country. I say terrifying because I have ALWAYS lived no more that 50 miles from at least twenty one members of my large, loving family. I thought it was time to cut the umbilical cord and get started on my life. Although I am moving in with my aunt and uncle I feel that it will still require more strength than I currently possess. Please feel free to send strength if you have extra!

Most of my strength will be lost when I have to kiss my BEAUTIFUL nephew goodbye. The thought of not being here for every moment of his oh so precious first year is almost more than I can bear. However, my brother has started his own blog David-Jaime-Jason.blogspot.com, and I can frequently visit for updates on his progress. It will never be the same but I will make sure that he does not ever forget who I am or how much I love him.

Well now that the tears have started.... I will retire.

Before I go I will make this threat. Yes, I am from Kansas but understand that I will hunt you down if you dare make a comment that has anything to do with Dorothy and/or the Wizard of Oz! It has been done by more people than you know and it wasn't funny then either.
