Thoughts on Moving

For those that do not know the Duke family is moving. We outgrew this house about 2 months after moving in when Michelle got pregnant with KayLyn. So 9 years after we moved in we are putting the house up for sale and moving to Frisco. Reason one for moving…Michelle has to drive to Frisco to work each day. Neither one of us like that very much.

So as I sit typing this, I realize that there will be some weird things that I will miss. One of those is the airplane noise. For the past 9 years we have lived under the approach and take off pattern for DFW (mostly the approach due to prevailing winds in N. Texas being from the south). So day in and day out part of the sounds of life are those airplane. It will be weird not hearing them. It brings to mind these 3 days after 9/11 where I would walk outside on not see or hear a single commercial airplane. The only planes in sight were those jets flying CAP. Glad to know they were there, but really wish they did not have to be.

Anyway, I realized that the 9 years at this address represents the longest I have lived any single address in my life. That equates to just over 25% of my life so far at this address. Here’s hoping I can replicate this in the new house, because I hate moving.

The house went on the market today. We will keep you up to date as things progress.

Good luck on the move. You will be in Chuck Swindoll's neighborhood at The Rock church. Good pictures of the children. Wow, they have really grown since I saw them last.
