So, I have been married for four years to a wonderful man in the US Navy. He was stationed in Norfolk, Va and I stayed in our home town Savannah, GA. We have found an apartment and we are finally moving in together in Norfolk. Why have we waited so long to finally move in together? Let's just say time wasn't permitting the move at that time and move on.  The move in date is August st and I am a whirlwind of emotions as the day grows closer.

More than anything I hate the thought of moving away from my mother who has been the biggest help with everything and most of all a huge help with our four year old son. My mom is my back bone and vice versa. We are truely best friends. It wasn't always like that though. From the ages of thirteen to eighteen we were sworn enemies. I think all moms and daughters go through this point in thier lives. My rebellion was from built up anger at her for putting up with all the shit that my father did to her and she wouldn't stand up for herself. Adventually she did and she is a much better person without him. Anywho, things are hunky dory with us now and I dread the day I have to tell her good-bye. We lived apart for five years when I dated an ex so we have managed it before. Still, it's going to be rough!

Savannah has been my home off and on since birth (31 years ago). This last drive through visit with Savannah has lasted for almost eight years. It really sucks having to cut all the roots I have made to move to some place I will know no one except for my husband and son. Luckily I can make friends pretty easily, but good friends are hard to come by and I have made a couple here that I hate having to say good-bye too. At least everyone will be a phone call away.

My other concern is finding a pre-k school for my son and adventually finding myself a job. Right now I am aiming to try and work from home due to the fact that even though I am married the Navy has no set schedule so it will still be up to me to get my son to school and pick him up. Anyone have any LEGIT work at home ideas please inform me. I will be available full time and then some if need be.

So August 1st I will be bidding farewell to my home town once again on an adventure to an unfamilar place with unfamilar faces. Have I mentioned I am scared shitless? At least I will be able to have my hubby near me now. Distance has taken it's toll on us. The last year has been spent healing ourselves from the damage we caused the first three years of our marriage. August 5th will be our first anniversary spent together. *sigh* ...I can't wait!
