We're Out!

Looks like we're FINALLY leaving southern California, yay! Looking at northern Nevada to move to, out in the country a bit without neighbors RIGHT next to us. Now we just have to figure out the logistics of moving the animals...

As a California native, I always swore I'd never leave here. But things have gotten SO dramatically worse here--especially the school system, it's lack of funds and the state's budget falling apart--that we feel the bad heavily outweighs the good.

J. is stressed out but I think once we're away from here, he'll realize just how Hellish life has become, especially for him. He really needs to step back and take care of himself NOW.

Before the move will come the fundamentals of cleaning out the house, disposing of unwanted junk we don't want to have to move, arranging for the new school for the kid, etc.

It's going to be quite the project, no matter what.
