I_Want_Snow

Hi. I just read your story about your childhood in Michigan. I also grew up in Battle Creek and left when I was 18 (I'm now 50) and have lived in Tampa since I moved. Now my husband, who is also from there,and I are thinking about returning. I miss the seasons in the worse way, but I am also craving my family. I have siblings that live there as well as my mother part of the year (she is here the other half) and my husbands mother. Tampa has gotten crazy busy and I don't think I can go through another hot and humid summer. Our second daughter is about to graduate high school so we know this might be the time to make the move. Everytime I go back I feel like I'm really "home". It was a great place to grow up and I have wonderful memories. It's not about trying to relive the past, but I think my husband and I know really appreciate what is truely important. We are just ready for a slower pace of life and it sounds like you feel the same way. Good luck!
