Moving here to be closer

This guest post from Hong Alexander

When we moved here it was to be closer to my parents, obviously, but I had no idea who that was going to benefit most. They’re aging so I spent a lot of time getting their house better equipped for their limited mobility and helping them find HughesNet satellite internet Franklin providers and all that - simple enough. As it turns out my husband had to take a job where he travels 4 nights a week and guess what, now I rely on my parents more than anyone else to help me watch the kids! I love that they’re the most trusted babysitters I know and that I don’t have to worry about whether or not I’m going to be able to have a rested mind when I’m working late. I love that my kids adore being with them and that they have a pool…how much fun is that? Turns out at the end of the day we’ve gotten more use out of being closer to my parents than they ever have out of us!
