Bye-bye California!

Friday morning in the wee hours

of the darkness,

we'll be crossing State lines

with the Golden State in our 

rear view.

It will absolutely be a bittersweet

moment but we know that 

what lies ahead is going 

to be something we have longed for,

for such a long time.

The hard part will be leaving family

and friends behind.

The easy part: leaving the rat race.

Being in our 40's, 

we look so forward to the second half (or more)

of our lives.

We look forward to new friends,

 catching up and being closer to distant family

and

 a place to call home that 

feels like a vacation every day.

Sweet home Alabama.

That's where we will be.

See you when we get there!

Hugs and Love,

Amber
