OK, maybe I can do this...

So, I have been home packing, with plenty of time to wrap my brain around the notion of moving. I still don't like it, but my attitude is different. I love Challis and the thought of an adventure; its the leaving "here" and the change involved. I HATE change. But I can do it. I just need to put my big girl panties on and do it. My husband has been sending pictures of the house and area of where we will be living, (probably in hopes to convince me how wonderful it is there.) I included a picture from the back deck. It is quite gorgeous. My husband Steve says you can hear the river while in the house. Great! I will have to go pee every 10 minutes!
But seriously, I am starting to think this move is a good thing. I have lost something in me. I have lost my confidence in me. I have in some way shut my self off to people and experiences. A couple of years ago a life-long, best friend of mine basically told me she was too busy for me and phased me out of her life. It was like losing a sister. I started doubting myself and my ability to do anything. I lost all confidence in my self. Oh I am not blaming the former friend, because I know people and friendships change, but I felt I wasn't significant enough. Looking back now, I realize I wasn't significant enough to myself. So I see this move as a new beginning. A new beginning with A LOT of changes living in a small town. I will post my observations and funny experiences along my journey. I will let you know how I am doing and if any one is reading this please post back to me and let me know how you are too. Advise is welcome just be nice to me...I'm fragile. Ok I'm not fragile. Cripes I don't think anyone has EVER used the word fragile to describe me! Maybe loopy...

First Post y'all

It's Friday night and I'm excited for the weekend. Not because I have fun plans for Saturday or we have a relaxing weekend planned. Nope. I am excited because I get to PACK. Yep. pack. woo hoo. I will have time to get some packing done. I don't want to be doing it last minute. Oh well. Wish I had more to report. Only a few more weeks until we push off into the great unknown...*sigh*
