Sometimes my life spins SO fast I get all fuzzy inside.. Now would be that time.. JD is getting ready to deploy.. It is just now starting to kick in.. He leaves January 4th.. Crazy.. I don't really know what to think.. I am excited and sad at the same time.. I know that JD is going to have the time of his life.. He is so excited to lead and save, and serve with the men he has come to call family.. He is also going to be a full time student.. I love how he just goes and goes and goes.. He always wants to be the best.. Something I admire.. By the time he returns he will be a 24 year old Captain in the United States Army.. I think he enjoys the challenge of always being the youngest.. A year.. That sounds like such a long time..
I am in the process of getting my things together to move up and live with JD's parents in Dunbar, WI.. There I said it.. DUNBAR.. I know it will be best for me to be surrounded by family but still...... Dunbar.. There is literally nothing there.. For once in my life I'm not exaggerating.. The thought scares me.. The closest Target is an hour and a half away.. That is my happy place.. The place I go when I just need to stop thinking.. Anyway.. I'm going to move up there Mid November.. It's coming like lightning.. I'm scared.. Well more worried I guess.. I really couldn't tell you exactly what I'm worried about but its a lot.. I tried writing out a list of pros and cons to see what I was so worried about.. Still not sure.. Any help would be appreciated..
PROS
constant family
I will be debt free by the time JD returns
Seasons are so beautiful
JD's Mom will teach me to cook
Plenty of time to Scrap book
I can get in amazing shape
CONS
Snow for 7 to 8 months out of the year
No civilization other than campus
No true independence
No friends
That's all I could really think of.. For now at least.. Well let me know what I can do to ease my mind..
Wow, you are really going back to Dunbar??!! I was shocked to read that!! It is great to be by family though during a deployment - like you said a year is a long time. If I were you I'd probably be worried about being up there with all of HIS family without JD not actually being there. Sometimes that can be weird. I'm glad that you have a great attitude about it though. November is coming fast for me too! I'm due on the 23rd and I feel like I have so many things I want to do before then. Anyway, thanks for the update and I look forward to reading more :)
