Lonely and Neglected

My poor little blog is lonely and neglected. Moving 1,144 miles will cause that. I am proud to say that I haven't lost it or eaten myself into the next dress size, which is my usual MO when we move. I am almost ready for the packers to arrive next week and I have managed to keep up with my running at the same time. I love it here, this place feels more right than any other place we have lived. But, being a military wife means putting one foot in front of the other even when your heart and soul are begging you to to stay right were you are. So, I will continue to move forward preparing this house for the next family and organizing our belongings to make the unpacking and transitioning as smooth as possible. I am in full "move mode" and am looking forward to next Sunday. As much as I don't want to leave here, once we start driving away I feel better. I always dread the emotions that come with the final goodbye and once I move through them I can start to look forward. We should be in San Diego by Tuesday. If you need me I'll be at the beach with my girls! Move mode will be over and the summer fun can begin! I never worry about unpacking the whole house during the summer. My philosophy is to make the house functional and let everything else wait until the kids are in school. How many summers are we going to have near the beach? Not many and I'm not wasting this one!
