Finally, it happened. We packed up. The truck was loaded. We locked the doors. And we moved away.
It has taken so long to get here. Part of me is still in denial. Our situation is still in temporary mode, so things aren't quite settled. But we got an offer on our house. And we have moved to a better temporary housing arrangement. So the kids have started seminary. We are still trying to find a house in the school boundaries that we want to be in, so they haven't started school yet. But we are looking, and looking, and looking.
We miss Texas. We miss our family and our friends that were also our family. It is always a bit hard to start over again. But it will all work out.
Good luck, Betsy! I want to cry again reading your post and thinking about our move 8 years ago! I have lots of wonderful friends and this is such a great place for our family; but I don't think I'll ever stop missing my friends and outings in LA and the previous places we've lived. Don't think I want to.
