Moving East....

When things happen, I write. If I don't, I tend to dwell on them and make huge, gigantic mountains out of m&m size ant hills.
We are moving....... again. Not just down the street but 4 states over. That means we have moved from California to Texas to Mississippi and now to North Carolina. Jon got a great job that he's really excited about. It's nice to see him excited about work-- but nerve wracking, too, because he was, once upon a time, excited about Batesville as well.
The kids are another story. Kyle will be going to Ole Miss in the fall- and although I would like to demand that he go with us (and I can't say I won't try) I just don't see that happening. There's a certain "mommy failure" at play- sending him off to college with no where for him to come home for the weekend. Having a hard time with that.
Trevor and Meghan are both excited about moving. Connor, on the other hand, is sad. He has made some really good friends here and he's scared to leave them. He's afraid he won't make new friends. For those that know him well, you know this is not likely because he is extremely outgoing and makes friends quite easily BUT it still hurts my heart to upset him.
Then...... there's me. I've lost 55 pounds in the last 9 months. I had lost 40 before we moved to Mississippi and gained 60 of it back!! I tend to fall into a nervous depression when my world turns upside down- not sure why as we moved a lot when I was a child but, alas, it happens anyway. And I eat....... and eat....... and eat some more. Sadly, it's comforting.
Please pray for us- ask that we transition into our new lives easily and comfortably. Ask that I handle things well and can just be excited for my husband and not selfish just for me. After all we are just moving East......
