the B O Y S and the M O V E


I often get asked how the boys are handling our upcoming move. The big boys are well-adjusted, happy teenagers in a great school with great friends. For the most part, they've been pretty mellow and on board. They'd probably say, they don't really have a choice. True. For the little guys, they're just excited to get to take a trip. For them, it's just an upcoming vacation. Good friends have made it harder for all of us knowing we're leaving. The good friends we've made here are definitely friends for life.

Ty's probably shown the most resistance to the move from the start. Not definance or even an attitude toward us, he's just the most unsettled of the boys. I like to think moving to a cool far away place has made it easier. It's not like we're moving to Iowa. We'll be two hours from Paris, next door to Austria and Switzerland, a train trip to anywhere in Europe. But, it's still change. Change is hard.

A sweet new girlfriend (Taylor) is making it even more difficult as they're two peas in a pod! They're both super smart, fun and full of life- it's great to see my kid so happy. sor:
