Well I just wanted everyone to know that we are moving, yes again. Can you believe it? I can't.

I am trying to see through the tears.

After 2 moves in 6 months last year, I can't believe my husband had the nerve to lay this one on me. He promised. He said we would be in Ohio for the rest of his career.

Well, he returned from a conference with upper management and was told he was needed to move to LA. Yes, California. I am so pissed, scared and not even wanting to think about telling my children. They will flip.

We promised them too. We told them we would not move unless it was back to Texas. How will I even begin to tell them.

The position is a huge promotion and our salary package will be equal to almost twice what it is now, so that should cover the cost of living increase, but LA...are you kidding....no one ever wants to move to LA. Earthquakes.....UGH.

So please pray for us. We have to face our girls the next couple weeks and I have to plan a trip to see what we are in for. Please help me God.






















Or should I say forgive me God.
April Fools!

I wasn't sure if you had it in you to play a prank about moving.

I (almost) fell for it.

Happy April Fool's Day!

Now that was just plain mean...

But if you moved, you would have to take the new stove with you...

Glad it was a joke!

CATHERINE!!!! YOU ARE SUCH A STINKER!!! My heart was breaking for you!!! And I was thinking, how could Kipper let you come down here, be with your Texas support crew and not tell you this??? How can they do this again? Just when Girl Heaven was all set up upstairs???

OK, you got me. Stinker.

I could just strangle you! After just seeing you today and hearing about what you were planning for the house...I was actually in tears at the thought of you having to tell Addison. i sent you an email before I read it again and saw the April fools..you are so mean :)

You totally got me! I'm pretty sure my heart stopped! Well done, Catherine. I agree with Wendy- telling the kids broke my heart. That and the thought of y'all having to live in L.A. The only LA I'm comfortable with is the state! SO GLAD you will be in Ohio!
