  Congrats on your new home Julie! Hope the move goes smoothly. Moving that distance will mean quite a few adjustments. Being an ex-military wife, I know what it is like to pick up and move like that. I am from Florida and we got transferred early on to Phoenix AZ years ago, and I have lived in many places since! Thanks by the way for all the new threads you have opened. Good to see the site putting out all the info–good or whatever. I think the discussions are mostly civil. Just because I am not an avid TC fan, I will say that because some of the folks seem to think that if you are not falling all over yourself with love for TC, then you are somehow hateful, but in my view the most of the discussions here is pretty well rounded. Because it is a fan type site, I try really hard not to bring in the religion part which is a pillar for where my feelings come from. But I can go to plenty of other places and discuss that aspect as well, so as they say, “Its all good”. Looking forward to some great Suri pictures from her birthday celebration.

  Thanks Concerned Mom! We just got out of the military in October. We moved 5 times in 7 years. Oy. This is the LAST move we plan on making and it’s because we are moving to be near family for the first time ever. It’ll be so nice. My kids are ecstatic.

  I agree that you can root for Katie and not for Tom and still be civil. I know it’s hard not to bring the Scientology side of things in, especially for those who have a personal connection with it.

  I too am hoping for Suri pics. Who knows what they will do. Its such a mystery. :)

  Congratulations Julie; hope all goes well for you and your family. Both of you bring up good points. I love to hear various perspectives on the same topic. We can all be civil, treat other with respect and still have fun. My philosophy about life is not taking myself too seriously. Life is too short to let everything rile you up. I have a good time here letting loose.

  Enjoy your move and the new home!!! Be safe driving and I hope you don’t bankrupt filling up at the pumps:)!

  Thanks for trying to post all news. Hopefully, all the news, good or bad, is considered rumor until proven otherwise.

  I cant believe how much I missed today! Julie, I hope you have a successful move, and we will all do our best I am sure to be civil. I think there is a great group here, and I, personally, am really enjoying these posts! I am so glad you are going to report all, as I think that is only fair. I had been surfing a bit to find the negative, just to see what is being said, and I would much rather feel confidant to just have to look here and then of course, defend my Tommy:)

  Thanks everyone. :)

  Jenna- from Georgia to Colorado. I am so ready to be there!

  No One Special - No kidding about the gas prices!! We added up what it’s going to cost and it’s just ridiculous.

  Julie, You will love the west!! It is so different than the south! I loved living in Arizona for 14 years.

  wow that is a move….CO is so wonderful. Georgia, not a favorite of mine, but I know many people love it. Remember fill your gas up in the morning before the sun heats the earth…have you heard that? you get more bang for your buck…

  There is not a part of Colorado that isn’t pretty wonderful. I always wanted to live there. Good point Kelly. I think that once it clicks off, you should stop because in the heat it expands, right? The gasoline that is.
  Julie, I don’t know where in Georgia you have been living, but get ready for some SNOW, girl. And 4 beautiful seasons. And big blue skies. And low humidity in the summer. I would move back west in a heartbeat, but my parents who are elderly live in Georgia and one daughter lives in my town and the other and her family-my grandchildren live in NC. So I might move back to NC from Florida, but my heart will always say ‘Head WEST!’

  Julie, I am happy for you. I hope the move goes well. Moving can be a pain but sometimes a new place is what you need. It is excitint though.

  Concerned mom, I appreciated your sentiments where Tom and Katie are concerned. I find it hard to reconcile your wishing Suri and Katie well with some of your comments.

  My best friend is getting married in August to a man I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I have begged, pleaded and done everything in my power to dissuade her but I have failed. I have decided to support her because that is what friends are for. Would I be glad if she split from him after marriage, NO. I know for whatever reason she loves him. Divorce will make her miserable and for that reason, I have decided to stop being negative.

  For whatever reason, Katie loves Tom and they are a family. Whatever his beliefs, TC is a good man. He is an excellent father, a good caring husband, not adulterous, honest, does not do drugs, use profane language or make a habit of being rude to people. I doubt there are any perfect people in the world. Whoever Katie married would have faults anyway. She could have done worse that TC.

  I doubt that if they divorced today, Katie and Suri would lead a happier life. At least she loves him and he loves her. The rest is irrelevant.

  Supporting Katie and attacking her at every turn does not reconcile. I have visited other sites where you post. It is one thing not to like her choices, it is another to call her names, attack her all the time and blatantly take pleasure in any negative stories written about her.

  No one says we all have to agree with everything Tom and Katie do, they are human and they have their faults. But if you support Katie, why the strong desire to believe the worstr about her, whether it is her health or career prospects?

  Julie, I don’t really know what to think of Lauren. She is using that word again. And she seems to be following me from thread to thread and ranting and raving. Julie, are you going to do anything about this? You know I have kept within the rules of this board. I love some of the discussions here, but I am tired of being attacked so viciously. I have NEVER called any of THEM names. And certainly NOT Katie or Suri I have expressed grave concern about her being married to a man that a very dangerous group thinks is their savior. Her life and career seem to be in a hoilding pattern since she hooked up with him. The whole world doesn’t have to adore Tom Cruise. I used to be a fan, but the day he did that Today Show with Matt Lauer is the very day I thought he had lost it and what a disservice he did to women everywhere that day.
  Julie, I don’t know why Lauren keeps singling me out with this stuff, but she needs to stop now. I think the boards are interesting with different kinds of posters, but this last one of hers seems too personal to me. I have not attacked her or anyone on the boards. Please get her to stop.

  And Lauren, you need to stop with the personal attacks already. Although I do post at a couple of other sites, I have never called Katie any names anywhere. And Suri is an innocent child. So I have no idea what you are even referring to?? I do discuss the CoS on other sites, but again that is NOT an attack on Katie or Suri. either. Many folks out across the net say that the upper levels of this ‘religion’ can drive people sort of crazy. Look at the exscien kids site. There is not a thing on that website that tears down the people involved in it, they do however tell a lot of truth about the effects it has on people, their families and their lives. But THIS site is not for those discussions so I freely express my opinions on that issue other places.

  I am sorry concerned mom, I may have been a bit OTT with my posts especially since I was reacting to comments you made on another site where you seemed happy when there was bad news about Tom and Katie.

  I agree you have not been out of the line here, apart from a few comments I was reading from threads before Julie came to the site. You were harsher then than you are now.

  Once again, am sorry, I crossed the line. Friends?

  Sorry guys. I’ve been very busy today and haven’t checked the blog until now. Let’s please discuss the couple and not each other, okay? You can react to someone’s comment but in a non-attacking way.

  If it continues I’ll have to close comments on this post and I don’t want to have to do that. :(

  Also, please don’t hesitate to shoot me an email if you have a concern about something or you feel someone has crossed the line. And, let’s not discuss comments made by someone on another site.

  Thanks for understanding everyone. :)

  great let’s get back to our favorite people to discuss. and I want more pictures. The recent updates have been great. I wonder when they will move into their new home. Some of the pictures look as if they are from the new house, but it looked like the party was at the Celeb retreat center. I was very happy to see Katie’s folks there. We should see them more often.
