So I mentioned a little over two months ago, Chizz and I were starting a new adventure in a new city, New York! In typical “Wendy & Chizz” fashion, we didn’t move quickly. The job change happened quite awhile ago and Chizz’s company was very generous and understanding, but they made a fatal error – they told us “take your time”. So we did. Quite some time. We had to go on vacation to Honduras, get Snake off to college, go on a UCLA football trip to Oregon, see Kiki off to college, celebrate Halloween, host Thanksgiving, celebrate Christmas, ring in the New Year and then go on a ski trip. See what happened? I took MY time.
In between we packed and moved our house. We went from living in a 4+bed house to a 2 bed apartment. And it was tough. For me. I had to make alot of choices about what to bring and what to leave. We are lucky that Auntie K & Uncle D are housing the things we had to leave behind. So I can visit them when we come back to California. And I will. . .
But now we are embarking on this new stage in our lives. A stage where kids don't usually reside, where we don't have to think about what is best for the kids, would the kids like this, what would the kids think. And truthfully, it is going to take some time. We find ourselves in a habit, watching the same shows that the kids liked out of routine, quickly scanning restaurant menus to make sure there is something the kids would eat. It is hard to break. As Chizz said, it is the first time in about 21 years where they didn't have to be our primary thought. We have to work on it a bit but it shouldn't be too hard. It is still the same Wendy & Chizz, just from a different point of view. So in that vein, I think the blog is going to be from a different point of view. So this is the announcement of my new blog "Wind the Frog - The Empty Nest Years". You will find it here. We are moving on and so is the blog. Watch out New York and Wind the Frog!!
