Beaches Bitches

So, I'm not supposed to announce this because I haven't told all my family yet, so if you're family and read this, please keep it to yourself til I get to tell grandma myself. lol But we are moving. =)

My reason for putting it on my blog is that I need advice.

I know a couple of my readers (Denielle, Moose, Andy) have all moved from one state to another. Denielle, I'd especially like your advice because you've got kiddos. Sean and I moved to arkansas before we had Mikayla with less than 500 to our name and did just fine... but this time we're taking a good amount of cash with us and we've got a kiddo now.

We are also moving blindly, without jobs lined up. We are relying on what the people we know that live down there are telling us. I'm a workhorse tho.. lol I'm willing to work wherever pays me so I know I can find something. hell I work in a resturant NOW. lol

And I know the first question everyone has is Why are we moving and Why florida so lets just get this out of the way.. lol

Why are we moving?

Why not?

I hate Louisville, always have, always will. It offers nothing, jobs suck, cost of living is outrageous, and if i stay here I'm going to always be like I am now. Just like my parents... living check to check hoping nothing happens, then something will happen like it did to them, and I'll be screwed.. like they were.

I'm not close to my family, and I'm not saying anything bad to those who may be reading this, but you know as well as I do that I'm not close to anyone in my family. I live at my grandmothers house currently, in the basement so I see her daily, and I will miss her like crazy but I can't stay here just because of her. I just feel like Louisville is not where I'm meant to be.

I LOVED Arkansas. We moved there for my mom though, it wasn't for us. She was dating a man that lived there and she thought it was going to go somewhere, it didn't.. and when I got pregnant with Mik, we decided to move back here so Mik could be near Seans mom.

Literally, the only time Mik sees Seans mom tho is when we BEG her to babysit. She doesn't do the grandmother thing and take Mik on her own, she only keeps her when we ask her to, and even then she'll pick her up at like 6 pm friday bring her home at 10am saturday... it's never extended. So Mik's not going to miss much there.

But ever since we came back, I've wanted to leave again. Then mom got cancer... so I stayed of course. But now moms gone.. and dads gone... so why shouldn't I do what I've always felt I needed to do? I can always come back if it doesn't work.



Now Why Florida?

again.. Why not? lol

It's warm. =) I don't have many real reasons for our choice of place. We tried mountains in Arkansas, so this time lets try the beach. lol Maybe next time we'll try a different country even. I'd love to move out of country, even if just a year or so... that'll prolly be after my kid moves out tho. =)

We have friends that live where we're going already.. and they are friends that are into all the same things we are. They work for the radio station we dj for. Speaking of, I'm live at 8pm EST tonight (Tuesday) Tune in.. support me. hehe Wildliferadio.com

It sounds like fun, I'm excited... Mikayla is really excited. I think it'll be good for us.

But my questions are... Anything I need to know about transferring schools and stuff like that? I know I'll need to get immunization records and stuff like that... do I need her birth certificate cause I don't know where that is.. lol Any tips for making the transition easier for her? We're going to be staying at a weekly hotel for 2 weeks also... any hints on that?

And Moose... any tips for moving long distances with Cats? lol

So there ya go. That's whats been going on in my world. =)
