Moving On Up

So, with this in mind, Dave and I have finally made the decision to move to NY. If I am not exempted from this mobilization, then the boys will have had the time to settle in, make friends, start school etc. If I am exempted, then we will already be up there for when Dave goes for border patrol training. And in the mean time we will be able to spend more time with family.

Augusta is a beautiful city with lots of wonderful people, but ultimately it does not offer the opportunities for our family that we would like.

This move will happen very quickly... in just a few weeks. We have already given notice at work, and we are making lists with all the stuff we need to get done between now and then. A lot will happen very fast, but we have made the decision, and now we just need to figure out the hows and whats.

We are both excited and scared. I am excited to be closer to family and friends I haven't seen in a long time. I am scared that Seth will be starting Kindergarden and riding a bus.... which I am totally NOT ready for. I know "Home" will not be the same as I remember it, but we will make it a new adventure and know that this is what's best for us right now. This is a transitioning time for us, and will lead to better things.

oh that's exciting!!! I love it! I know Augusta has been like a holding pattern for you the past couple years. I'm jealous of you moving closer to family. I'm afraid our next move will just be further away if that's even possible! (DC) Anyway, I'll be praying for you. How crazy to have to move *yourself*!! I don't envy you in that! :) Emily

Wow, this all sounds so familier! I will be hard, especially the quick transition, but it will be good, I know you will love it. Hugs to my little (Not so little) boys from Miss Amie.
