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.

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......
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.
