I'm ready to move someplace cheap, temperate and free of natural disasters.

Currently, almost all of our possessions are in a portable storage unit in our front yard. I can only hope that those storage units are built to withstand tropical storm-force winds.

This is where parents just have to assume that no news is good news.
