My desire to blog came partially from reading other blogs and really enjoying them but the MAIN reason I decided to blog is because I couldn't find a single blog on the subject I wanted to read the most about - LIFE ON WHIDBEY ISLAND. Oh sure, I've Googled it - one million times. And I've learned just about everything there is to learn about it as a place or destination, but I want to know more. What's it like to live there, to be a mother there, to be a teenager there, to be a family there?? What can I expect my life to be like when I get there?
I am the only one in my family (of 3) that is excited to be moving to Whidbey Island. Paul believes that any and all excitement is going to exit his life as soon as we arrive there. He keeps telling me "There's not even a movie theater there!" However, in one of my one million Google searches, I found out that there is. Katelyn doesn't want to leave her school, our church, her friends. And that is completely understandable. I keep trying to get her to see it the way I do - a new journey, the next chapter, new friends, new adventures. She just rolls her eyes. I'm hoping that once we are moved and settled their attitudes will change and that mine will not!
So this is it, my blog. I'm going to continue to blog as much as I can from now until moving day, November 4th. I really want to document our travel there to find a home and then our travel there as we move. I would love to tell everyone about everything we see and experience and the emotions that go along with it. Once we move in and settle I am going to pour over every piece of that island and learn absolutely as much as I can about life there ... and try to relay that here. Maybe, just maybe, someone else wants to know what life is like there too.
