Another “new” home…Tampa, here we come!

So these are pictures I took when we were buying the house; my furniture is different.  We loved the porch (excuse me, lanai) so much that it just about sold the house for us.  That and the great kitchen, perfect for the Christmas Cookie Bake Off and many, many family gatherings.  We have already moved most of our stuff, but the kids and I are still in IL waiting to finish school.  Then it will be time to rip the band-aid and make the final move.  We all have such mixed feelings about our move.  While we are very excited to be in Florida again with Meg at FSU and our family around the corner, we have grown our own “family” here in Illinois.  Can’t win for losing sometimes, right?

Yes, Meg is GRADUATING!

In just two short weeks, the child who should just be finishing up the year at Alumni Village Child Development Center in the Butterfly class will be donning a cap and gown and hitting that first major young adult milestone as a graduate of Oswego East High School.  We are so very proud of our honor/Advanced Placement student!  And while that red hair is no joke as an indicator of her personality, we are even more proud of the young lady she is becoming. 

Watch out, Florida State!  Another Piedmont is about to become an official Seminole!
