Cold and Torn: Let's move away!

I am moving to Phoenix asap!

About this time every yeat I remember why I strongly dislike winter. I hate being cold. That is it, there is nothing more.

But I don’t want to just leave my family, friends, or even KU. So everyone needs to pack their stuff. We will leave as soon as class is over tomorrow. We will have a lot of moving to do since I would like to take all of KU (campus included) with me. I would also like to merge the cities of Lawrence, Kansas City, and Hesston and take them with us. This is a win-win situation for me because I would then eliminate the torn feeling. (In case you are unfamiliar with the torn feeling, it is that feeling that happens when your heart is never completely with you---it gets left in several places. It isn’t that you are unhappy, it is just that no matter where you are, you are missing someone.)

But before we start Google Earth-ing apartments in Phoenix, let’s stop and think about why Kansas winter might not be so bad. *thinking*

Let's shoot to leave at 5.

Well dear child, what will you do when it really gets cold!!! But just so you know, I've started to the to do list so I can be ready to go at 5!

Although I've never lived farther south than 2 houses down from Randall Street in Hesston, and even though I have never visited Phoenix, I think a winter without cold sounds pretty nice--so can I come, too? Only we also need to take Wichita because my kids and grandkids are there. Oh, and my job is in Wichita, too. But, would it be fine if we come back to Kansas (or maybe head to Anchorage) before Phoenix hits 110 degrees and stays there for months?

So, Phoenix? How about Hawaii? Ok, really any place warm sounds fun! But, I must tell you, that days like today make the cold seem bareable. We played all day in the leaves. Beautiful fall! So, let's wait until it's REALLY cold!

After living in Omaha for five years, I would definitely have to concur on your dislike for long-lasting coldness. However, in defense of my brethren living in the temperate-challenged areas of the world, I would have to say that almost as bad as Omaha is living in Dallas...a city that hardly knows what a seasonal change is. When you have to prepare yourself to face a triple-digit day in the middle of March, something is wrong.
By the way, Kayla, thanks for being obedient to your mother and complimenting my blog. I hope that you continue to feel free (or forced) to comment on my blog in the future.
