August 2007 First Day of School




Tiffany's first day as a Senior. It is hard to believe that 20 years
ago I was starting my senior year! Tiffany had things to finish up in Texas and didn't get out to Florida until right before school began.









Dason's first day as a high school sophomore. He had a great summer in FL hanging out with lots of new friends and looked forward to starting school after an uncharacteristically stressful time in UT.

Don't ask. Just a pose that they have been doing for the last year or so.

Spencer's first day of 2nd grade and Sydney's first day of 3rd grade. They too had a fun summer playing with lots of new friends.

I showed up with Sydney and Spencer at their school with forms filled out and all required documents on the first day. I was informed that they couldn't start school until the next. Thus, this is the picture of their official first day of school. (Turns out school got in trouble and was on the news for doing this).

Finding a house in Florida was more difficult than we had planned. We were looking at homes in a couple of school districts and registered the kids at the last minute in the one that we thought we'd eventually live in. So, for the first month of school we were still in corporate housing in Tampa. Thank goodness we guessed correctly and didn't have to change schools. We moved into our home in the middle of September and were so grateful to finally feel "settled."

Our Move to Florida 2007


Our family relocated to Florida for Rick to be a district manager for Target in the Tampa Bay area. After living in corporate housing for 2 months in Tampa, we found a home in Wesley Chapel and in September we moved in. Yay!

The kids were troopers and made friends and adjusted quickly. (Rick too). :)
