Pinay mom parenting her Caucasian/Filipino daughter in suburban America.
Time to share what’s been happening behind the scenes. Mary, Jack and I are pulling up stakes in Colorado and moving to Iowa.
When Jack and I got married in July of 2001, we decided on Colorado to be close to Jack’s daughter. As she had graduated from college last May and has since moved to Los Angeles, we feel that we no longer need to be in Colorado, either. Time to experience a different place.
Why we chose Iowa? Again, for family. My mother-in-law lives there, as well Jack’s sister and her extensive family. It is time for Mary to experience having a grandma and cousins close by.
Planned last day in Louisville? A week from Friday. By Saturday, April 26, we are on the road and on the way!
Mary is my "I'm Not a Baby!" daughter and this is my blog about her and our life in suburban America. Parenting tales, our travels and travails, forays into great and not-so-great restaurants, kitchen adventures--- all chronicled with as much photos as you can stand. Comments are very much appreciated --- let me know you dropped by! Thank you.

Oh no! You guys are moving away!
But you’re doing it all for the right reasons. Mary will enjoy having a grandma close by, as well as aunts, uncles and cousins. Lots of luck to you guys! I will send you an email and hope to at least talk to you before you leave.
Hugs!

No WAY!!! Now you won’t have to borrow my parents any longer — Mary will have her OWN grandparents in her OWN state.
Woo Hoo!!! That is exciting news.
I pray you’ll have great traveling weather late in April (really a selfish prayer actually… I want good weather… where is our good spring weather???) =)
Any where in particular? north… south?

Best wishes! Colorado will miss you. Big moves can be so tiring. I decided to move to CO on July 24th and arrived here on Aug. 15. I still have a house in TN that is for sale. I’m sure Mary will love having all of the family close by.
