Where the Heart is

In the 4 years, 7 months, and 2 days that the Captain and I have been married we have lived in 7 homes (actually changed our address with the PO, not counting the hotels stayed in for weeks trying to find the next abode), in 5 states, on 2 land masses, in 3 time zones. How aboot them apples?

Callie's been with us since the beginning.

We then lived in a place with a million dollar view that will be incomparable to anything we have had or will have since.

The next lanai was enjoyed during many dinner parties with our friends, by myself with a glass of wine and a book, and by many geckos which could always be found. We handled many neighborly complaints for excessive noise and escaped to the beach every possible evening to watch the sunset which was a mere 1 minute walk (even with 'traffic') across the street.

We then moved back across the ocean to a house owned by the owner of the company we worked for. It was on the National Registry of Historic places and creepy as creepy. We quickly moved...again...

....To a massive 4/3 with 2 living and dinning rooms. Considering the only furniture we brought from Hawaii was TVs and a wine rack, we filled that place up quickly. Cough.

The bestest neighbors were next, including Herbie the Love Pug who quickly became Callie's best friend despite their drastic opposites. I miss them terribly.

Christmas 2009 found us in a home where our Angel was no longer scrunched among the branches and our 9 ft Christmas tree was displayed in it's full glory for the first time.





The Captain and I submitted our application today for what will hopefully be our residence for the next year. The story that surrounds the foreclosure of our rental property, which required us to move, is for another day.

Cheers!
