Ok so I will start with a little background...
I was born in Granit City, IL in 1986. You see my family originates in the St. Louis area; we are one of those GM families...Anyway prior to my birth my loving granddad was transfered in 1981 to little 'ole Bowling Green, KY, and my dear dad missed him greatly. Well, a year after my baby brother was born in 1989, my parents decided that moving closer to my granddad would be a good idea and safer for us kids! So there you have it...I wasn't born here, but I have been raised here in BG since I was 3yrs old! Ok so...more history (because I know yor're are dying to know my family history!) well in 2002 my grandfather passed away which was very hard on me seeing that he and hhis wife were the only family that we had here in KY. Now last year his wife...my step-grandmother, passed away, so it was just my immediate family left.
Now down to the point...why did I tell you all of this you ask???!!! Well, just like my G-dad got transfered in 1981, MY DAD is getting tranfered to Kansas in 2 weeks!!! We are a very close family, and this is VERY hard for me. I can't be away from them, but I have my own little family so I can't just packed up and go to Kansas. I am so upset because my boys absolutely adore my dad [as do I], and now they won't even remember him because they won't get to see him much. It is heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking. I just can't stand the idea of being 8+ hours away from the only family I have left around here. I know my brother and sister are still here, but...not my parents! I guess I can do it, but I kinda don't want to, you know? I just hate that Maddox and Jakk won't get to see their grandparents but a couple time of year!
So there you have it...that's what I have been struggling with lately!

omg Kris. Again I say it -- blogger does NOT announce when you blog. I have no idea why, but it doesn't. Ask Christine if she blogger updates her about you, because it doesn't for me!
