Back in New England but thankfully on our way out.

Well, we both walked out of the airport in Manchester and immediately slumped.

But there was so much to do and reorganize (Mike's voice)
Not (my voice)

as an aside, I do know there was a lot to reorganize, but there was absolutely no reason to re-open & re-pack eveything that I had spent 2 months packing and labeling so that we would not have to re-pack and re-label everything.

Yup. A little bit of fighting going on.

And a fabulous week of family, while we were bickering. Pretty sure that everyone thinks that this move has undone us & we will be divorced by the end of the year.

We don't talk about the emotions of leaving the people dearest to us. The family that has supported us above and beyond the call of duty. The people that we love the most. The people that have been our community and support for the last 30 years.

So we pick at each other a little bit when what we really want to do is cry like babies at all we are leaving behind, for the fabulous people that we will not get to see on a daily basis, for the impromptu little get togethers with our fabulous family that we built in the North Country.

I have faith that I can find the same sort of community in Grand Junction.

But I know that I am always going to be thinking 'Jane would love this', 'Beth would be so inspired by this', 'I wish Heidi was here with me'.

My North Country family, the one that I created (the one that found me) is my most important family.
And I cannot wait to introduce them to the new family that I find out here.

Cheers.
