WHAT???? A Month Has Gone By?????

Yes, you read it correctly, a month has gone by since my last post. It just doesn't seem possible. We have been nonstop busy. And since my brain only works in chronological order, I will have to post numerous times and in an orderly fashion! I hope that our stuff gets here soon!

I must first write about my last few days in Korea. Maybe it has taken me a month to gather my thoughts and write because it was very painful to say good bye to my Ya-Yas. It was a sad day and I'm sure that everyone around the world felt a major disturbance in the force.

Dawn, my bestie, sat with me while our household goods were being packed. Not because she had to, because it is what friends do. There was no question, she just came over. And it was boring, but we chatted, played with some puzzles, chatted some more. Her oldest came over and sat too, then Dawn and I went and got lunch for the crew and us. Even though it was a sad day, seeing all of my worldly possessions being packed up, it was a good day, spending time with Dawn and her girls. That was Monday. On Tuesday I regrouped and ran errands to get ready for the BIG flight. Wednesday we were going to drive to Seoul to spend the night and fly early Thursday. So, Tuesday night we met Dawn, her Boo Bear, Paigee and her crew for dinner.

It was such a relaxing dinner and at one point I had forgotten that this dinner was it....for a while. Then a wave of sadness came over me.......We were sitting there having a conversation, not related to moving, then my eyes swelled up and that was all she wrote. Tears. Jen would have been proud of me! Only Jen can cry that fast! My heart hurt. Well, as you can imagine, it was down hill from there people. It was messy! We went out to the parking lot to drag it out. After many tears, hugs, kisses, more hugs, more tears, we parted.

This is the hard part about being a military spouse. Yes, we get to travel to exotic locations like Korea (HA), and other places, we make friends all over the world, we welcome new neighbors with rockin' brownies, but WOW, is it hard to say good bye. This time was different though. It was the most difficult ever. I guess that means that we, the Ya-Yas, were meant to be friends. No matter where we are, no matter how many miles between us, we will always be friends.

I miss you guys................(heavy sigh and a few tears.........dang it Jen!!!)
