All of you who are regular readers of my blog know that a couple of years ago my parents divorced. My mom moved out to Arizona and got remarried while my daddy moved to Minnesota and now takes care of my girls. In fact we recently moved into the same apartment complex as him (he's apt. 315, we are apt. 203) Lately I've had a lot of family and friends ask how my dad is doing, I just wanted to give all of you an update on how things are going here since he moved from Michigan. If I had to pick one word to describe my dad's general life at this point it would be: GREAT.
Overall I am AMAZED at how he has adapted out here!! Those of you who have known my family for a while know that my dad has always been a quite, somewhat reserved person. He enjoys watching his sports and playing golf. Well, in the past year and a half or so my dad has become so much more outgoing. He is going dancing regularly and plays volleyball once a week He has also done the following: golfing, bar crawl (can you believe it?), went to the State Fair, flag football, concerts in the park, Twins games, jazz clubs, etc. etc. etc. Amazing, huh? In fact, when I look at this list I get a little jealous, lol! :D
So to sum up my dad's new life, he is spending a lot of good time with his grand kids and enjoying himself with a huge new group of friends. It's my hope that he is as happy here as we are to have him here.
