Not satisfied?

Aaaaaa hhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

I DO have a few readers!!

And they left comments!!

Happy Dance! Happy Dance!

HOORAY!!

My readers...

(I just luv sayin' that!)

have complained that I did not explain

WHY 

we are leaving.....

Oh...

yeah...

I kinda got carried away the other day!!

:: so ashamed ::

ha ha!!

So...

here you go...

Reason #1

Our son.

1.  Our son has decided that home skoolin' is just not right for him...

2.  WE, his parents, have decided that public skool is just not right for him...

3.  He has told us that he wants to go to a good Christian school...

4.  We were researching and studying and trying to figure out WHERE to go...

when, one day, Robbie asked:

why can't I just go to the Bob Jones Academy in S.C.?

5.  Oh.  That's actually a good idea....we hadn't thought of that...and hmmmm....

our daughter goes to the University there...

6.  WOW!  That's a REALLY GOOD IDEA!!

Reason #2

Our Church

1.  This is a tough one...especially to explain.

2.  We do not have a home church here...we have been faithfully attending the German Baptist Church here for about 5 years.  Recently, we heard of an Independent, Fundamentalist Baptist church in Moses Lake (about 1 hour & 15 min away) and have started attending there occasionally.

3.  Being "church-less" has been hard on our children...

because we don't "belong" / aren't members anywhere.  

4.  We love, love the German Baptist Church but, quite frankly, it is different than a church we would normally attend.  In fact, the church in Moses Lake is just the kind of church we would love to attend full time.  

5.  BUT...the church in Moses Lake is brand new (1 year old) and therefore, doesn't have a school yet. 

6.  AND we don't particularly want to live in Moses Lake.  (Sorry Moses peeps!  Luv ya!!)

Reason #3

Our Home Life

1.  This is another hard one...to try to explain how much my husband works...and how little time he has with his family...

2.  My children did not sign up for this...they were born into a family with a Mom AND a Dad...and they want both of us here...involved in their lives...

3.  Don't get this wrong, please...My husband LOVES where he works.  He LOVES what he does.  He LOVE, LOVE, LOVES his patients and everything he does...  

4.  BUT...we don't have a family life here...and I'd like the old Bob back with us...

*the guy who has time for a conversation with me...

*the guy who is relaxed and laughs and plays jokes...

*the guy who enjoys playing games with his family...

and HAS time to spend with them....

*the guy who has time to SIT AT THE DINNER TABLE...

and actually eat a meal with his family...

without doing his work on the computer...

or answering the phone in the middle of an important conversation

and having to leave...immediately

or averting some unknown crisis...

*the guy who USED to have some time for his hobbies:  

building model planes with our son...

baking cinnamon rolls with our daughters...

building something out of wood...

yeah!

I want that guy back.

We haven't had a family vacation in over 3 years.

I'd like to see my husband enjoying his life...

and his children...

and having some fun...

YES.

I am

THAT

selfish.

I may not have written this post

EXACTLY

how my husband would like to see it written.

But...

this is not his blog.

Ahem.

Thank you for reading this...

I'm going to go cuddle Off-see-fur Biskit now.

Let the Police Blotter explain....

No.

One.

Commented.

You aren't just a 

weensy

bit

curious??

Well, I would like to use our local newspaper's recent Police Blotter

to help to explain WHY we are moving....

We LUV this little Norman Rockwell town....

so....you may be wondering WHY we would leave such a sweet little place?

Are the people in your little town mean to you?


Awww...shucks, no!  The people here are just the salt-of-the-earth type...



{ A man missing his upper teeth reportedly was prowling around a complex in town. }

and pretty easy going...

{ A man dressed in black reportedly took some snacks from a table in a person’s backyard 

on 11th Avenue, hung out for a while and then took off.  }

And boy! The children here are just too adorbs!! 


{ A dime reportedly was glued to a keyhole on a door on North Alder Street so the resident 


could not get inside. }





Has the economy been hard on the farmers?


Oh my goodness!  My little town has a ginormous hay industry...


{ Large hay bales reportedly were blocking both lanes of Vantage Highway. }


and it looks like they are just T H R O W I N G their hay around!  They're rolling in it! 


hahahaha!

Besides farmers...what else is there?


Well...my little town has a college with state-of-the-art research labs....


{ A biology student reportedly was doing research in the street on North Alder Street. }








So, with a college in town, there must have a pretty lively night life...right?


Of course!


{ A person on Cherry Lane reported that an unknown person rings the doorbell at night. }



And...cool stuff happens here all the time!

{ An octopus, that appeared to be deceased, reportedly was hanging from a tree on East 

Seattle Avenue --even though we are 200 miles and a ferry ride away from the beach! }

Aren't the winters there kind of long?

Oh, sure...but you get used to it...in fact, cabin fever is a real disease around here...but

springtime is always the cure!

{ A man reportedly was running with a traffic cone on his head and stumbling into traffic on 

University Way. }

Okay, come on...there MUST be a downside...

{ A llama reportedly was running down the roadway on Smithson Road. }

okay, yeah...sometimes the animals get a bit out of control...

Does that help answer all of your questions?  

:: Clapping my hands!! ::

Hooray!!

If you have any more questions...you just ask away!!
