As of this moment we're moving again.  I say "this moment" because if you're familiar with our story you know that our moves and when the moves happen change with the wind and change frequently.  We're like a dandelion family.  Changing direction with the wind.  It is not in my personality to let big things, such as moving, have such uncertainty floating around.  I'm a planner.  But here's the thing; you have to learn to live with and accept the hand you're dealt.  I will say, however, that I never in a million years imagined that marrying a man that works in construction management would mean moving around all the time.  One thing that brings me some peace in all of this is knowing that I can create a home for my kids no matter where we go.  

We headed to Iowa City to check things out.  Carter stayed with Nana & Papa and Mya came with us.  These were two big deals for us.  I've never been away from Carter for longer than 18ish hours.  This would be a whole weekend.  And Mya had never been an "only" child.  Carter had a blast with Nana & Papa and Mya was a little road trip trooper.

For what it's worth Iowa City actually seems pretty decent.  When Joe told me Iowa, I thought "oh good lord why?".  But as it turns out Iowa City seems very family friendly.  We'll see when, and if, this moves pans out.  But like I said, as of now we're moving there sometime this fall or early next year.  How's that for a plan? :)
