I want to move to Minnesota

I've got the itch again... the feeling that comes every so often nudging me to change things up a bit. I have lived here, in the sunshine state, for 12 years and I now consider myself a Floridian. I remember the first summer I lived here. I was working in Daytona beach and I had been out in the sun all day before I went in for my shift. Within an hour I was passed out cold on the hard concrete floor of the restaurant I worked at. Heat stroke. By the time I woke up an ambulance was carting me off to the hospital. It was humiliating, but it taught me that the Florida sun is no joke.
These days I need a sweater when it gets below 72 degrees and I practically get hypothermia when I swim in a pool cooler than 85 degrees. I have had all three of my kids here. Only Ben has seen snow in real life. Florida is our home, finally. So it's only natural that I want to pack it all up and move somewhere new. A new state... preferably one that I've never been to before.
I want snow and real seasons. I want my kids to have the chance to ice skate and ski. Some of my happiest memories are of being on a frozen lake with my friends skating away a Saturday afternoon. I want to breathe without the aid of nasal steroids. When we travelled to Tennessee a few weeks ago Chris and I both got relief from chronic allergy symptoms. It was amazing to breathe easy for a few days.
As I read about and share our country with my kids I realize that there is so much I have never seen or done. I want to see more. I want to spend the next decade exploring a new place. While I loved growing up in New Jersey and being able to hop over to Philly anytime I wanted, I needed the chance of pace that moving to Florida brought. I just read an article about a family that decided to travel the USA for 2 years in an RV. They homeschooled and the husband worked at "home" so it was easier for them than it would be for a person with a job to go to. It was a great article and it got my mind reeling! I want to do that, Lord! I want to sell all of our belongings except a few pieces of clothing, some pots and pans, and our books. I want to explore Christ in the land and the natural wonders. We would miss our friends and family here so much, but the wind in my face would dry my tears(just kidding;)).
I have a place I need to be pretty soon here so I don't have time to properly end this entry so I'll be back to do it later.
Thanks for reading!
