This is another one ...you're going to be just fine. This is another one of those learning experiences. You're going to make new friends, find new schools, and enjoy life. I've moved loads and each time I worry about all those things and each time, life sorts itself out.

I could tell that after spending five minutes with you. :) So yes, you surely WILL be better than "okay," but you are allowed to be upset, contemplative, and downright not ready to go. There certainly is something to be said for "peace." Something to be said for "abiding." But ultimately, like you mentioned, perhaps this move will be life-changing and positive in ways you can't yet see. :) <BR/><BR/>(Where in central Oregon are you moving TO?! Email me.

Maybe you'll even get to see more theatre productions because you'll make special weekend trips to Portland.

And you have some time to adjust to this one. <BR/><BR/>I do think that it's completely understandable that you could accept this move, and agree to do it, but still be negative about it. This is human nature, and your husband isn't being reasonable to expect you to agree to the move AND be immediately happy about it. I think this might be a gender thing. I've experienced that dynamic in my household, too. Just because you know that something is the right thing to do in the big picture (or is inevitable), doesn't mean that the heart leaps to immediate acceptance. Still, there is every reason in the world to think that it will get easier over time. <BR/><BR/>I don't think that you sound unreasonably bitter or angry at all. In fact I marvel at your ability to think it all through, and put it all down in a blog post. <BR/><BR/>Good luck! Hang in there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
