Welcome Home!

I remember once in college talking to a friend I had made freshman year. We had lost contact and spent a few minutes catching up. I inquired after a very close friend that I too had spent some time with. Sadly, my freshman friend had lost touch with this very close friend, citing that, "there are only so many people you can really keep in your circle before one gets pushed out."

At the time I nodded my head in agreement- keeping up with friends is hard. But over the years I have given much thought to this statement, and decided I am not in agreement. Yes, it may be impossible to call every person you know every week, but it is not impossible to be in some kind of contact. Especially now. At the time of this college conversation, we barely knew what cell phones were- never mind Facebook, texting, or twitter.

I need to blog.

I need it even more now that my family has moved to south Florida.

This is our beautiful home in Coral Springs.

New Southard Home

 

You would think that south Florida would be entirely different than Utah valley. W have found a surprising number of similarities:

1. We moved from Harvest HILLS to Forest HILLS.

2. We still live on a cul-de-sac.

3. The kids still play in the street with minimal danger of being run over.

4. Moved from Saratoga SPRINGS to Coral SPRINGS.

5. Our address in Utah was four digits starting with 25, same here.

6. Elementary school within biking distance.

7. Church building is still under 10 minutes from home.

8. Multiple boys between the ages of 7 and 13 wandering the neighborhood.

Uncanny, really.

We are working on some home improvements, will post ore pictures soonish.

But, of course, the one big difference between our home here and how one in Utah:

 

It is absolutely unbelievable. We love this pool. We swim every day. Almost like it is too good to be true so we need to use it before it is gone. So much fun.
