    Good call Clint... It might be tough for a while, but in the long run, you'll be glad you did.

    When I moved back to the mainland in 93', I had all of the same mixed feelings, with the addition of huge cultural & climate changes.
    It was one of the best decisions I've ever made, though at the time I had a lot of "WTF WAS I THINKING?" thoughts running through my head.
    I moved from sunny Hawaii, directly into one of the most severe winters on record. On top of that, I stayed with my parents for the first month or two.

    It was NOT an easy adjustment.

    On the plus side, I got to spend the remaining years of my fathers life getting to know him better, rekindled old friendships that had been sorely neglected, & pulled my personal life into a more manageable state.

    You & Cari are gonna do fine......

    I was there in May after not being for a visit in two years, just the changes in town were crazy. I cant imagine what the rest has for me to see. I used to drive around alot to clear my head and think about things and I saw alot of the city I hadnt seen growing up on the east side.

    Thanks Dub. I am definitely nervous about staying with him for a couple months. I haven't stayed around him more than four hours since I was 15. Him and his wife are smokers to boot... But his place is the only one we can go to with our animals until we get our own place.

    Thanks, the weather has improved back to normal.

    You make sure and drive safe...you will probably be heading through a few of the spots that were hit HEAVY with snow.

    We are going to come down through Vegas and across the Hoover and I am not sure if Kingman got hit hard or not, I will have to look, I am not familiar with their weather. I thought that typically they are warm, but I have been wrong many times before.
