On the road again, la,la, la, la, la, la road again...... hmmmm hmmm. Sing it with me and if you know the words then go ahead. I hear the music but somewhere the words are lost and I am unable to retreive them. So I am always someone you want to have to start the crowd singing and then pull me in to make a big ending. Same way with names. I can recall what you wore last tuesday but not your name. I thought by keeping my children's names simple, John, Tom, Kim, that I would have no problem but that was not to be. I ran the list each time I wanted one to do something. John said until he graduated he thought his name was Johntomkim, when they called his full name he hesitated before he stood. (he is such a kidder) ha
If you have read his blog you know he is moving. For me I am sad and awfully proud of his accomplishments. To think at his age he would be making a great wage and lots of perks. His sister was talking about his year book and what he had been most likely to do when he graduated. They voted a TV Evangelist. I guess Rod Parsley and Joel Olsteen can rest for a little while longer. Life has a way that it takes us to new and unusual places and opens doors to adventures and exciting opportunities if we let it. I have been the risk taker with my career all trying to maintain employment and earn a wage that I could raise my family. I have made some mistakes and not made good choices but in the end I can only say I don't think I would change much. I have had opportunities to live in new places, work with wonderful people and I can usually count on seeing someone I know whenever I am at a place or town I have worked before.
I think about this move for John, better known as Big Daddy Huffledink, that he will be going back to an area he has worked before, a church he attended, and this time with his family. And for his wife an opportunity to live near her grandparents and aunts and cousins. It offers their children to meet and spend time with this side of their family. So I may not like the move but I am glad they will get this chance.
Branching out is scary but oh so nice if you are learning and sharing. So I am saving my vacation and saving money for tickets so I can visit. I have never been to the big D as the Big Guy put it.
I am shopping for a cowgirl hat and some chaps to wear on my flight to see them. My thought is if I am looking a little, well, ok, a lot out of place I can have the seat next to me. So adios, goodbye, so long, and remember to send me the new address and the phone number. Don't make have to hunt you down, I am your mom you know.?

Thanks for the post...Sam and Josh will probably think that their names are "YOU!" Thanks for the memories and I too am going to miss the Huffeldinks, Dallas seems even farther than Jacksonville.
Having your kids live a distant city is hard, I know. Even though mine are a little closer than the Big D, I still have to have 2 or 3 days to make the trip and it is hard!! Missing out on the kids ballgames and ballet are the hardest things for me!! Sometimes I just want to pack up and move but by the time I got there, they would probably say, sorry mom we are moving to California. See YA!! :) So, I think I will just stay put and try to do the best I can to see them!! Family vacations are the best!! Quality time to share and catch up! and lots of hugs and kisses!!
Love ya,
Marsha
You write such nice blogs, say it so well. Yes, I hate to see them move so far away, but It will give us a chance to visit the "big D" such an offer to get him to cme and work for them. It does make us proud. He has climed up the ladder. Yes I remember when we felt that he would be a preacher. Now he and Kristina have three beautiful children. Hope you had a nice evening and have a good night. Love, Mom
