WOW!

I don't know where to begin. My emotions are all over the place right now, I'm driving my family nuts.

Change is good, I understand that. I'm leaving my comfort zone though. I'm leaving so many things, it's hard to list them all. Let me start by saying that I have the most amazing support system here. From neighbors, to our church, to the multiples club, and doctors we have gotten to know here, I know that if I need help I have it. I'm grateful for everyone associated with these groups, in fact an amazing group of women went to dinner Friday to wish me farewell. Through the dinner, they helped me wipe my tears since I was SO emotional about all the changes that are coming our way. They laughed with me, and agreed with me when I explained my fears. I can only say thank you to these women. They have cheered me on through some of my darkest days and I'm internally greateful to each and every one of them.

The move is here, as the kids say one more night night and the packers will pack all of our stuff in boxes. They have been unbelievable calm through all the changes. Remember, Chris has been away for 5 months and they have handled this transition with grace. They are unbelievable children and I'm proud to be their mother.

I know Vidalia is only an hour and a half away, but it's a new town with new people. I must overcome my anxiety of finding the support system I have here, there. I must say EVERYONE has been so supportive there. I have contacted the Presbyterian church in Vidalia to let them know we are coming and I have started to attending the playgroup there. From the minister and his wife, to moms from the playgroup, everyone has been great.

Chris has settled in quite well. He has gotten to know a lot of city officials and has taken his new role with Republic well. I'm afraid he will be working long hours and have nights when he is going from meeting to meeting. We will make the best of it!

So here we go.....a journey I'm sure will work out, but I can't feel anything but nervous as it approaches.
