GBCK(Happy Saturday)...

WildRumpus

Meg, I'm actually in Springfield, MO. For some reason TK doesn't recognize us as an actual place and just sticks Springfield, Branson and Arkansas together. SO, to answer your question-Lake of the Ozarks

I see. Have fun on the lake.

Good morning.

H and I are chilling, having a morning to ourselves without kids. Our friends are gone for the day. My Dad is in route driving down here. I am happy and sad all at once. I am going to miss H, but happy to be starting my new job. This will be our first time being apart for this long since being married.

Good morning.
I just got home from 1 of 2 of the horse things I have going on today.  I'm killing time until I have to leave for my other one.
And then we have a graduation party tonight.  I'm already exhausted. 

Missy- it will be hard but just think how much it'll be worth it in the end to be back home.

Happy Birthday, Barbie!

<div>I here you Missy.  That will be us in a month.   I'm not so much worried about me.  I'm okay being alone.  I will still miss DH and be itching to see him (I will see him twice during our separation). </div><div>
</div><div>  I'm worried about DH.  He hates to be alone.  He can't even stay at home at night when I'm working until 11pm.  This is the first job he has taken that he does not know someone at the location.  Every other job he has come as part of a team.   It will be an interesting few months.  I'm starting to feel guilty deciding to stay a few extra months and not being there to support him in his new role.</div>

Missy-the time will fly because you will be so busy too.

I'm sitting here debating if I should go work out or go to the library.

Also Happy Birthday Barbie!

Thanks bree & barrell! It is only 2 weeks, so I know we can do it. We were apart for longer than that when we were engaged. I am hoping getting somewhat settled at my Grandma's and the new job will help take my mind off of things and pass the time quickly.


Lynda - if you are still around, I know exactly what you mean about the move testing your marriage. With our current living situation, I have noticed that H is more irritable. I think he is also worried about finding a new job back home and me being the only breadwinner for awhile.

I know we aren't moving as far as you guys are, but it definitely has been stressful. I basically did all of the packing after the apt flooded b/c H had to work. I have spent the past week recouperating. And now I have to get ready for the long drive back. This will be the first time that I have driven all the way from GA to OH. My Dad will be following me in his car.

Lynda - when will you be moving then? So I guess your DH is moving soon to start the new job?

Happy Saturday!  It looks like I am going to become an aunt today, so I'm excited!

[Deleted User]

Hiya Kate!

I haven't seen you around in awhile. Congrats on becoming an Aunt! boy or girl?

barrelbabe004

Yay for becoming an aunt Kate!  That's exciting!

KentuckyKate

Hi!  I have been really busy and tired.  It's going to be a baby boy named Adam.

Missy - the act of moving just sucks.   At least we have corporate moving us, but still it's a lot of work. Then add in having to get the place ready to rent out and DH not being the most handy person does not help.   Plus we will have 4-6 weeks without our stuff.  

I also have to deal with corporate to make sure we get reimbursed correctly.  I need to get on DH to save receipts.  We get $40 a day per adult for food while we are in temporary housing.

There is just so much to think of my head spins..

Have a great day ladies!
My dad just called and wants to take me to breakfast before I have to head back out to the arena... Not going to turn that down.

ETA: Missy good luck with moving this weekend!

<div>I do not have a firm date, but sometime in Aug.   I do pretty well in the summer months and DH will be busy with the new job.  It made sense for me to stay and work while I can.  The boat shuts down in Sept, so it's clean break so to speak.</div><div>
</div><div>Plus I have a co-worker who takes off for the summer and another one who just quit.  Me staying allows her to still have her vacation and they do not have to hire someone until the fall.  If they hire someone to replace me now they would have to lay them off in Sept for 4-6 weeks.   Its a win-win for everyone.</div><div>
</div><div>I get a house hunting trip so I will see DH a few weeks after he leaves.  Then I plan on going up in mid-late July.  </div><div>

Lynda - I can definitely relate. At least you have movers. H and I did all the big stuff ourselves. It sucked.

We have been living without our stuff for 2 weeks now. It is not fun living out of a suitcase, wearing and washing the same clothes over and over. Thankfully, that will all change for me next week. I have the rest of my clothes ready to go with me. It just is hard  not being in your own comfort zone with my furniture, etc.

I have had so much on my mind recently, it isn't funny. I have been talking to myself outloud and have had a ton of lists and paper with me all the time.

We will get through this, Lynda!

</div><div>Yes we will..  Good luck this weekend.</div><div>
</div><div>As much as I'm not looking forward to our stuff being gone for weeks.  It will make getting the condo ready easier.    Right now I feel like I'm in a holding pattern.  Our condo is small, but has a lot of stuff.  Once it's out of here I will be able to paint and fix little things easier.

Thanks! And have a great breakfast with your Dad. Sounds yummy.

Lynda - that kinda sounds like my situation when H moved down here. I wasn't able to join him right away due to my apt lease and I wanted to end the school year at my old job. So we were apart for 6 months, but managed to see each other every few months or so.
