House Hunting
So I have started to look for a place to rent back home. I have found some I like and are very interested in them and others that are icky. Then there are some that are outrageous in price for little square footage. I am hoping to get to Florida in the next couple of weeks to look at these places which I hope are still available when I need them to be. Then I can put my deposits down and start thinking about all the other deposits I need to put down for utilities. There are many factors I consider when looking for a place. First is that it has to be in range for monthly rent. Second there has to be 3 bedrooms. Size of bedrooms doesn't matter too much since all we use them for is sleep anyhow. Third, kitchen size. I miss my old kitchen I had in our house in Sanford so I'm hoping for something of a decent size. This is important because Brien enjoys cooking and it can be a challenge in a small kitchen. Fourth, a decent size family room. I personally would like to have a fourth bedroom but most four bedroom places are out of our range for rent. So that is where we are for now.

I'm so bad about blogging... LOL
Well, here we are and it is April 26, 2011. It has been almost 2 years since my last blog and there is really no excuse. I could blame that I had no time but that is one lousy excuse. I had time. In the past 2 years, I have been at my computer daily and really was no reason to jot down something to keep everyone informed. I am going to try to do better and today is the day I decided to start doing that.
My boys are doing great. Tyler is going to be 14 years old in 3 weeks. I can't believe where the time has gone. He finishing up 8th grade and doing great in school. Well, I say great but he does have some laziness to him when it comes to daily school work. He took 2 of his 4 TAKS test already and got commended on both. He did learn from his Reading teacher that he only missed 2 questions on the whole test. Totally awesome. I hope he does that good on his upcoming 2 TAKS tests in Science and Social Studies. Then he enters the wonderful years of high school. Scary thought that I have a kid going into high school. Luckily he decided to grow also in the past couple of years. He has surpassed me in height but then again, everyone is usually taller than me. Brien and I are both glad he has some height on him and that he is going to continue to grow. Then there is Hunter, the baby. Well, not a baby anymore. He is 8 1/2 years old and finishing up 2nd grade. He does well in school if only I can convince him not to talk and get into trouble while in the classroom. We are still working on it and hope he starts to do better. He is still my munchkin as ever. I'm hoping he will have a growth spurt eventually.
On other news, we have officially decided to move back to Florida. We will be making this move in June after the kids get out of school. We have lived in Texas for 4 years now but I think for us it never felt like 'home'. We are moving back to Longwood/Altamonte Springs area so that Tyler can attend Lake Brantley High school with his cousins. I love my house and my almost 2 acre land but we miss home. Wish I could pack up and move my house and yard and take it with me but its not possible so I must say goodbye.
Well, I think that is it for today's update. I hope everyone is well and doing good and I can't wait to meet/catch up with everyone who lives in Florida in the upcoming months.
