2008

Well I skipped a whole year there, LOL!!! But that is how busy and crazy my year went! Incredibly enough, 2007 was a year of many changes. Some changes brought us challenges and difficulty but in the end it is all working out for the good.

To sum it up I will be leaving the beautiful Sunshine state of Florida and heading up North to the cold, windy city of Chicago, IL. Many of you may be thinking that's simply insane, well I thought it too, but the right job opportunity came along for my husband and so the decision had to be made. It was a major Family decision for us and in the end the majority agreed that it was the right move for us all. So up to the North pole we are heading, LOL!! Ok, not so much but it will feel pretty close.

In any case, we have already gone up to Chicago twice, once in the fall and once in the winter of 2007 and have searched for homes in the areas we think would be suitable for us. They have absolutely gorgeous homes and we are praying we will find what we are needing. The house in Florida you may ask? Well we are currently in the process of working out the sale of our Florida home with the company that Louie is going up there to work for. Yes I did say his company is buying our home, so I guess you know why we jumped at the offer! LOL!!! It really is depedending on the fair market value of course and what we can work out from there so it's still in the process but I believe it will all work out fine. So if anyone out there knows of any wonderful places to live in Chicago then let us know!

I am still actively Scrapbooking, that hasn't changed and I am actually holding a crop at home during this month of March with all my Scrapbooking buddies. I am so excited it will be an entire weekend of pure Scrapbooking fun!!! Yippee!!!!

Some of the other things I am into this year of 2008 is reading, I officially joined up again (I've done it before) the Oprah Winfrey book club! Besides wanting to get back into reading, I figured I should get into the Chicago spirit since I am moving up there! LOL!!!

Anyhow, I will try to post more often this time around if things don't get too crazy for me with the move! Which by the way the official move will not be happening until Summer sometime, so I still have time here to enjoy the sunny skies of Florida................(smiling).
