Say a prayer, cross your fingers, and maybe some pixies might even help...

Ever since we moved to Memphis we've been trying to move back home to FL. DH applied for a position near Orlando. It's so much closer to our families! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, but my gosh, the only thing that could be better is living back at the beach. DH's family lives just 50 miles away from WDW and mine are in Jax. It would be a major cut in pay though I believe it's so worth it just to be near our loved ones. Plus I have the only grandkids so far in my family and it's killing my parents.
This isn't my 1st time living far from home. It was a lot easier before I had kids. I'm still not used to this weather. I used to complain about it being hot in FL. Now my hats are off to all of you northerners. Brrrrr, I'm cold. I really can't imagine living further north. Everyone says I'll get used to it....maybe eventually enjoy it. I could see that if snow stayed on the ground. It seems like all it does here is rain. I guess being a surfer I just feel really land-locked here.
Anyway, in another year my youngest will start school and I could actually get back to work. Seriously thinking if we were so lucky to move to Orlando that maybe I could try to get on at WDW as a Garde Manger or Pastry Chef. Now that would be close to being my dream job. Who knows maybe one day ya'll could be enjoying something I've created.
Well, if it wasn't so cloudy out I'd even make a wish upon a star!

Hope your dream comes true. We have to wait another 7 years in cold NE Ohio weather and dream of being able to move down south when the time comes. Hope you wind up down there right away!

Thanks sooo much for all the pixies! They really mean a lot to me!
Guess I'm in a funk about being so far from home. The whole reason we moved here was better pay and great insurance. DH is a Train Engineer and the economy effects his pay. Plus I just found out his insurance won't cover my jaw surgery. So I guess I'm wondering what we're still doing here. Yes, Memphis has great BBQ and music, but that's the only good things I can say about it. Elvis now lives in the ghetto and Bealle St. isn't all that. The gangs are constantly warring and people are way too racist for me. Oh, and did I mention it's always raining? I'm really not the complaining sort. My Mom has always said I live in a dream world cuz I always look on the bright side to everything. I think this place is weighing me down.

Ok, enough of that......I just really wanted to THANK everyone on here because without this site I think I'd feel very depressed. I guess just discussing anything Disney helps me see a bit of the sun. I smile every time I log in.

I know what it is like being away from home, I am from the New Orleans are and my husband is from Kansas City, so no matter where we live someone is without their family. And believe me we have lived both places, its hard so good luck on getting back home
