We never looked at this move as something that would " Make it all better" or "solve all the problems". We have really tried to approach it without the "grass is greener" mentality. If anything, we have had to talk ourselves into the pro's of the move. In the last few days, I have been having to do that more and more. We had a going away get together with friends last night- and have another tonight. Goodbyes are so uncomfortable. I know they are important- but I would rather avoid it. I am just not sure how to do it. I don't know how to express what I am feeling- for each person- when the time comes to say, "Goodbye- probably won't see you again before we go." I know we will see everyone again- BUT we are really saying goodbye forever to the way things are now. It will never be like THIS again. What's to come may be so much better- but what I know is THIS- and I like it. I am confident- with all that is in me, that this is the right things for us. I thought that may make it easier to say goodbye- but it doesn't. I am tired- scared- sad- and I just want to get this over with. One more week- then our new life begins.

I understand. I do.
I promise that tonight I will not say goodbye, because it's not. It's more of a see you again soon. :)
You've been on my mind all week. thinking of you guys as you make the transition. love ya
I am feeling for you right now. I know you have had a very good life there with so many good friends. I think you have a great attitude!
Hey! We didn't make it to the second goodbye party....Jer didn't get home from upwards until 6 and the boys were still napping since we had a b-day party for Ian at Grandma Cat's this morning. Anyway- we don't want you guys to get tired of us "seeing you off". I hate goodbyes too. We'll try not to think of it that way. We'll keep in good touch and we will see you often. We can even send gossip about The Office and any other good shows!
Hey Amanda, I've enjoyed reading your blog for a little while now (I know, I'm behind the times & still new to blogging) esp. because you often post such beautiful pics of Ella and Thomas. We're sad to hear you guys are leaving, but hope this will be a tremendously wonderful new chapter in your lives. Best of luck!
I totally understand:) It takes time, but it will get better. Hang in there.
