On the road AGAIN.......

I woke up this morning to Dev humming the song "On the road again" which exactly explains our life completely. I am sad to announce that we will be leaving Florida and moving back to Canada in December. I have grown to love Florida, the weather, lifestyle, people and experiences we have had. I will miss waking up every morning to beautiful weather, riding my bicycle with Dev, going to the beach, the pond in our backyard, the ducks, couponing, the lizards, our little home and so much more. Dev and I have grown to love the independent life we have, especially the amount of time we have together.

This decision was made because upon moving to Calgary Dev will be able to finish his pre requisites (for a lot less money) while being able to make money working part time. This also means Dev will start Chiropractic school September 2012 instead of March 2013 if we were to stay in Florida. We will be moving to California in September 2012 where he will either attend Palmer Chiropractic in San Jose or Life Chiropractic in San Francisco.

As much as this decision will make things go by quicker it's hard for me not to feel like we are taking a step backwards. I feel everytime I am starting to feel settled in a new city or way of life we move. I am comforted with the knowledge that when Dev starts Chiropractic School we won't be going anywhere for three years! I guess this is what marriage is compromise and flexibility. I told Dev when he first approached me with the idea of moving away for school that I would always support him as he pursues his dream and will continue to. Calgary is a bitter sweet place for me, I love that our families are there but I've been so much happier and healthier since we left. I hope I can create better memories in Calgary and truly enjoy my time there.

Falling into place...

Falls has turned out to be quite beautiful in Florida with the added bonus of it cooling down a bit! Dev and I have been busy with cleaning houses, working out, school (him) and being pregnant (me). We had another ultrasound last week and little Lyons looks great, the ultrasound tech said she has my nose! I finally picked out her crib, dresser, change table and mattress and waiting for it to be delivered, it's going to be AMAZING!! My parents graciously paid for it, they've been an amazing help...WE LOVE YOU GUYS!! I will post pics when it's all set up! We also completed our registry at Babies R Us that was so much fun, the only thing Dev scanned was a pair of basketball shoes.... that's why I love him! Maui had her operation a week ago she got spayed and 13 teeth removed... she's a champion and recovering perfectly! Tinky hissed at her for like five days after she came back, she was confused and they fought a couple times :(

Here's some pics for your enjoyment!!
