Current mood: confused
So... it seems that we aren't meant to stay in Colorado after all. I have such mixed emotions about this. I am very excited to be closer to my family and finally give our boys the chance to bond with their grandparents and Aunts and the rest of the family. All of our family is out there. I am very sad to be leaving our Colorado family behind. None of us chose this (meaning any of us that are cohabitating) more our hand was forced. I can't go into detail here but feel free to email me and ask if you are interested. It really isn't that interesting but the gist of it is that we really don't have a choice.

We were planning on visiting NJ for Christmas and now it seems that we'll be extending our visit. Eddie has started to apply for jobs in the area. We are aiming to be no more than an hour from Trenton. That gives us quite a radius to work with and with Eddie's qualifications he should not have a problem finding a job. It should actually work out perfectly because we'll still be getting paid by the army until the beginning of Feb. and our taxes will be back that month as well.

The very bittersweet thing is that we are coming full circle. We left my parents house to live in Army housing and we are going right back to where we started. The difference now is that Eddie has great training and we won't have to be there for long.

I've been in a state of brain fog for the last 3 weeks and it will probably continue until we get to NJ. I nearly forgot Avery's birthday was this Saturday simply because I had no idea what the date was. I barely have an idea of what day it is.

I haven't been out of the State of Colorado since July 2006. I just never realized that the first time I left would be for good.

I am happy, sad, nervous, excited, depressed, and elated. I am SO tired of saying good bye.
