“I left Wilson kicking and screaming,” that’s my dad’s cliche, though I’m pretty sure I was the one who was kicking and screaming. That’s because I was three when my family moved from Wilson, Wyoming, to Melody Ranch. One of my favorite quotes is “Change is difficult, not changing is fatal.” I often think of this quote when I remember the move. I was too little then to use advanced life skills, but I identified two that I could’ve used if I was older ; humor and initiative. Moving always causes adversity, even if you don’t realize it because you’re three! With four people and a dog, there wasn’t enough room in our house of two bedrooms. It was very cramped, especially with a 10 month old baby. My sister was a loud baby, and I was a light sleeper.
