Holy Cannoli It's Been Too Long!!!!

WOWSERS!!!!  I just realized that it has been quite a while since I have posted.  I am so sorry to my followers that it has been so long.  There has been SO many changes since my last post.  November of 2013 we told my parents that we were going to move to Florida.  After being out of work for almost 3 years depression hit REALLY hard.  I had been fighting it but it came to a breaking point around then.  We decided to move in February of 2014.  It wasn't the easiest decision for us but things needed to change, so we did.  We loaded up a moving truck in 8 inches of falling snow and headed out.  It was difficult saying goodbye to my family but I could only hope they understood we needed to do it for us, and Hubby was doing it for me.  We moved in the home we would be renting and the job search began.  After 3 months I started a WHOLE NEW CAREER!  I was hired as an assistant to the broker of a local family owned realty (A-1 Realty Design, Inc. in Spring Hill FL).  By September 2014 I was a licensed real estate agent.  Hubby had to go to school to get his security license here in Florida as the schooling requirements are almost double the requirements for Illinois.  So we were both working but boy did it take it's toll on free time.  Not just free time but I had to learn a whole new way to cook.  See cooking and baking in Illinois was gas.  It's what I learned on so for 30 years I was set.  Florida is a electric state ... I thought it would be difficult.  It really wasn't and I think it was totally easier..  With gas air flow fluctuates the gas flame which could cause uneven heating.  Electric not so much.  So I learned to adjust.  As time marched on we made friends and spent time with family and realized that there was no free time.  A little over a year ago we realized something was missing in our life.  Along came Roxy.  She is a rescue pup and sweet as can be.  She is a chocolate lab pittbull mix and so loving.  We couldn't ask for a better dogger!  Not only did I start a whole new career but we bought OUR FIRST HOME a little less than a year of being here.  When I say lots of changes I totally meant it!  Of course with a home comes tons of responsibilities and redecorating! LOL   Which brings me to now.  About February I have been feeling like something is missing.  I took some time to internalize this and tried to figure out what it could be.  Then I realized that I miss my creative outlet.  I missed writing, I missed you!  So I am going to start posting again.  Cooking, baking, redecorating, whatever comes across my plate.  I'm going to share it because ... it's all apart of starting over at 40.

See you soon!
