Ch-ch-ch-Changes

Hello everyone!  I can't believe it has been since July since I've written anything, but I've been really busy with a few things.   That would explain the title of this entry.

After nearly 6 years in Highland, we have "come home". We moved back into Hyde Park in October. It's so nice to be back in the town I grew up in. Without going into detail, let's just say the town of Highland and the Winters family grew apart. It wasn't even a "it's not you, it's me" thing. It was definitely you Highland. You are a town that has no concept of keeping people's personal business as, you know, PERSONAL.   Other than Emily missing her teacher, there really isn't much I'll miss about you.

My kids were so cool about this. We had to use the money we had set aside for our Christmas Disney trip to move. Janel and I were heartbroken about it, but the kids basically said "so we go next year". My kids are awesome.

Switching schools can be a pain, but Hyde Park was very good about it. The cool thing is Wyatt will eventually play hockey for FDR, like I did 25 years ago. 

It's so nice being closer to my family. It seems like old times, especially now that my kids and my brother and sister's kids are in the same district.

You can go home again. Next entry will be a little more from my mind and not just an update. Plus, I now have an app so I can do this on my phone, so it'll be easier that way too!

Until then, I can hear the strains of the "Welcome Back, Kotter" theme in my head. Hey that gives me an idea for the next entry....
