So this is just a short post, haven't posted anything in a super long time and felt like bringing everyone up to date. We have lived out our sentence of 4 years in Georgia and are now saying so long to both the area and the military and moving home to Utah! So looking forward to my kids being around grand parents and family as well as having snow and cooler summers. (that was personally how I knew I was ready to move home was when I was missing the snow!)
However since we are going home without anything major figured out besides that the first objectives are a permanent place to live and a job to support that, there is a little stress. But I have faith in my husband, and the Lord, and know we have family nearby to help with kids if need be, so I'll survive.
This move just snuck up on me so fast, I just realized I have a week to pack up suitcases before they pack up the house, I am so glad this will be our last big move, it's hard emotionally and stressful. It doesn't help that this is the longest we have lived anywhere in his entire enlistment, in 4 years you set up a lot of roots and actually get major sense of home. I have so many memories in this house, and so many amazing friends and awesome neighbors, this by far will be the hardest move. I'm not a person who is good at goodbyes, I am too emotional and just become a blubbering wreck. Usually I find it easiest to push back and avoid the sadness of moving until I'm moved and caught up in the excitement of a new place, but I have too much here for that to be so easy this time around. Plus we aren't just moving, we are leaving the military lifestyle to join the ranks of the regular world, and surprisingly enough that scares me. I never planned nor wanted to be a military wife, but for the past 6 years that is all over known.
So please world, if nothing else, be a little gentle with me, I feel like a new fawn just learning to walk, civilian life seems new and foreign, and I am a little frightened. But I have my beautiful children, a loving, determined husband and a mostly supportive family. As long as we've got each other we can conquer anything.
