Stats of Change (it's not as nerdy as that sounds)

So I've read friends' blogs and wondered "Do I have anything to blog about that anyone would care to read about?" Now with some large impending life changes and transitions I decided to go on with it whether anyone cares or not! :-)

I knew as I named this blog, that Andrew would hate it (the name). I guess I'm still in the honeymoon period for my name, I still find "Cloud" jokes funny! After 23 years of hearing them, Andrew does not find them funny. You'd think a guy with such a strong sense of humor would find funny things funny. Maybe after 23 years of marriage, I won't find "Cloud" jokes funny either... 22 years left to see ;-)

After nearly a year of marriage (11 months and 18 days- including today, but who's counting?). Andrew and I will be making some big life changes. Here are some stats comparing where we live in Springfield, MO to where we will live in Lucketts, VA.

Currently in Springfield we live within 5 miles of 5 Wal-Marts. Once in Lucketts, we will be 12 miles from the nearest Wal-Mart!!
Springfield has one mall. Lucketts has one stop light.
Springfield has like 10 zip codes (do I exaggerate?). Lucketts doesn't have a post office.

Okay, so maybe you're confused. I've said I grew up in the DC Metro area... well I did. We're moving in with my brother who moved out just into the rural-beautiful-ness that Virginia has to offer. I've said I was a city girl right? Okay, well don't start feeling sorry for me yet! Leesburg is large enough, just over 10 miles away. And Leesburg is home to an Outlet Mall :-)

My parents house in Sterling is a mere 24 miles from Lucketts. Granted, if you go at the wrong time of day that 24 miles could take you an hour. Sterling has it's own Wal-Mart, Mall and numerous things I could not list (partially because it's all changed so much in 6 years!!!)

By the way. No panic allowed. Still a couple weeks before the big moving day! ::sigh of relief::
