This week has done nothing but reaffirm just why we are moving. Funny thing is that I used to try and make a list of why we were moving. Now I don't even have to try... the reasons just keep appearing before my eyes.
Like earlier this week..... can we say it was cold! I don't even know if cold does the temperatures justice. I should be used to this being born and raised here. That's 28 years of this crappy weather! I am sorry folks, even having to deal with this weather every year doesn't make it easier.
And speaking of experience with WI weather. Why exactly is it that the snow brings out the stupidity in people. Come on, its not like it only snows here once a year or we only see a couple of inches every winter. And its certainly not the whole town's first attempt to drive in the snow. Yet on my little journeys today I saw people spin out at very busy intersections, I drove up a relatively large hill doing 10 mph while the down traffic was doing the posted speed limit because for some reason the guy in front of me (driving a 4wheel drive SUV) must have been afraid to go faster for fear of what I don't know.
On another note, the cold and flu bugs are defiantly swarming again. I got bit by the cold cooties again after my November stint right after delivering. All I can say is I can handle a cold now... the last one was enough to make me appreciate a common cold as not the end of the world.
The flu cootie has hit the whole house. My wife and I had a stomach bug probably brought home by our friends two lil germ bombs that go to school. In one night I was up with three puking, pooing stinky lil kids. The next day was Miss and me.... yesterday our 2 year old seemed to get it back and now it has also taken a bite out of the two month old. I will be very happy when the children are no longer erupting.
So why are we moving... other than the obvious? Well.... not only are our best friends in OR, but the stupidity with winter driving is explainable, the cold and flu bugs don't appear to breed as regularly, and hey..... why not drive across the country in the middle of winter, cross the Rocky's, buy all new stuff for us and our kids and start life in a new state, in a new culture, and knowing nothing. Sounds like a great idea to me!!!!
Oh and we can at least register as a domestic partnership there
