As a retiree, I know exactly what you're going through (well, except that ours got extended 60 days with no chance for terminal, rather than getting bumped up to earlier) -- so I understand the turmoil you're experiencing with the ALL OF A SUDDEN overwhelming change of plan! You'll do it with the style and grace; of this I have no doubt. Call Me if you need to. I always have the cell handy; and we DEFINITELY have to get together and SOON. I barely get a chance to really know you and OFF YOU GO (another joy of the military I eventually came to grips with). Now get off this computer, get a tall glass of sweet ice-tea and SIT with no paperwork, books, agendas, planners, etc. Have yourself a little bit of what I always called "Me 'n God Time." :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-68018702974306569652009-03-19T16:09:00.000-04:002009-03-19T16:09:00.000-04:00Well well sis, just last week you were fussin abou...Well well sis, just last week you were fussin about me moving 15 miles north.

We had to decide to put the retirement ceremony on hold until we hear a definitive on a job. This breaks my heart to have to do. I found out that technically I have up until July to do it. Whew. Job leads are very far and few between - Have Fred join linked in. That is how Jason has gotten most of his leads. (He has 3 in the works)<BR/>I REALLY feel for you with the concerns for the kids that has got to be the hardest part.(Our kids are pretty excited about moving so we have said we will go anywhere)<BR/>Oh - please do keep us posted. Maybe we will end up neighbors?<BR/>I heard Northrup Grummon out here is hiring like crazy.Stefanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614771782932282738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-7764743577070652652009-03-19T10:21:00.000-04:002009-03-19T10:21:00.000-04:00a little worried about Paige but on the selfish en...a little worried about Paige but on the selfish end...whoo-hoo...I can't wait. An empty part of my life will once be filled again...I've missed my dear best friend sooo much. Phone and computers just haven't been enought to fill some of the voids. Life hasn't been the same since you all have been gone. Now we will be able to re-connect with each other and our kids any maybe even get on one anothers nerves...just saying, It'll be wonderful...I have so many plans and can't wait to help with the move.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure Fred will adjust and everyone will be very happy back HOME...I know it will take time.. this is a very BIG change in his life!<BR/><BR/>As far as your friends there...I'm sorry for them (I've been there) and I just don't know what they will do without you...really! You and your family fill peoples hearts in ways I can't begin to understand and explain. I'm sure you will always connect with them just as you always maintain a relationship with those that mean so much to you.<BR/><BR/>Not rubbing it in but I have been wiggling since you told me all of this...hince the problems I'm having right now:) <BR/><BR/>Have fun and spoil your friends and yourself with every free minute you have left in Georgia!!!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14640033985134379189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-71787808558711336282009-03-19T09:38:00.000-04:002009-03-19T09:38:00.000-04:00I know its a lot for you right now, plus with comp...I know its a lot for you right now, plus with compass coming up your mind just might explode. But if you remember every compass class when it comes to crunch time you stress but it all works out and your happy with the out come. <BR/>This is kind of the samething, your gonna be a little stressed out about it but it will always work out. <BR/>I can understand Paige 100% about leaving a school. esspacilly a little after it starts, but trust me she will get over it.<BR/>I think after all the dust has settled you and ur hubby will be able to figure out what to do and be happy with your dision.<BR/>Remember god makes things happen for a reason, although we may not know what it is, it is always a good reason and benifits you.<BR/>If your still not ready for what is about to happen, just pray. <BR/>You got great friends here to help you out too, so with them and god on yourside this just might turn into a cake walk for you.Bonitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04879272227856749009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-81447486090464584712009-03-19T09:05:00.000-04:002009-03-19T09:05:00.000-04:00Wow!

While I feel that I do worse with change as I get older, I guess it's inherent in your situation: military personnel run that risk all the time, moving, getting reassigned, moving again... I have an uncle who was in the Air Force and he was constantly on the move - a year here, 8 months there, and on and on... I never heard anyone complain and they have 3 kids, too. You just do it and move on... With you and the Man as parents, I know your family will do just fine! And somewhere there's someone not knowing yet what awesome neighbors are on their way...<BR/>If you ever want to relocate to NJ, just let me know...Krys72599https://www.blogger.com/profile/13794562208024400426noreply@blogger.com
