See you all on the flip side

Kyan and I are getting ready to fly to Michigan and the computer's being dismantled- no idea when we'll be up and running again. Wanted to leave some pictures before we left. Moving out to California while single and "footloose and fancy free" was an adventure, something I decided on a whim. Moving away from what has become our home with a family in tow is heartbreak. I know that this is the right decision for our little nuclear family: Kyan will know what grass looks like, his school won't be barred in, we'll be able to afford a house. But we've developed an extended family of "familyless" people out here. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, all were spent in the company of people who really were our family. It breaks my heart to see how sad it makes people for us to take Kyan away. It breaks my heart that visits will have to be scheduled months in advance instead of minutes. It breaks my heart to say goodbye.
