Well it's been a year since we moved to Texas and I can honestly say
we gave it a good try but it is just not working out here for us. We
have decided to move back home to California. I knew leaving our
families behind would be hard, but man we didn't realize just how hard
it really is. Texas is so new and exciting to us that it was an
adventure we jumped at, and I wouldn't say we regret it at all, it's
been a lot of fun!
It's also been very difficult being
away from family. I never realized just how much we depended on that
support. I will never take for granted always having a babysitter in
California that is for sure! Our children have a connection with our
families there that is unlike any other, and it's become so difficult
hearing our eldest son Blake ask to go home almost every day this entire
year. When we told the kids we were moving back they were so excited
the first thing they wanted to do was call Grandma and Papa. Not to
mention they are totally in love with my niece Alara who I am missing
sooooo bad! My brother and sister also live in California as well as the
rest of my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and two of Garett's
siblings, so we have a huge amount of family there. Garett and I are
also so very excited because you know California is home to us, even
though Garett was born and raised here he has really taken to California
as well. He misses his Mom and Dad (who also live in California) like
any adult kid would.
I am so thankful for the friends
I've made and for getting a chance to meet some of Garett's family here.
So very thankful we got to be here recently for Garett's grandfather's
passing, I will never regret this move because of that.
So
now it's time to move back home and I am so happy we still own our home
in California as I don't want to live anywhere else. It's like
restarting an old journey but the right journey, and I can honestly say I
don't ever want to move out of state again lol unless our families are
moving with us.
Anywho just thought I would break the
news to everyone, the big move will happen end of next month I can't
wait! I will miss you Texas, but I am sure we will come visit sometime.
My
studio will also be closing of course and my last event there will be
the Gypsy Ball once we get the new dates settled. Thank you everyone for
following our crazy journey!
