I’m a little jealous at all the fun you guys are going to have.

But I’m more excited that this seems like it will be really good for Miss Hilly.

“Yes, she *does* like vertical blinds.”

Seriously, it is nice to have you guys throwing advice at me right and left because, like I said, I can take the things that I never thought of then leave the rest. Luckily, I have that zen “smile and nod” thing down pat. Also? It’s going to be great to have a support system…more than you know.

Great post. I am in Hilly’s shoes to a certain extent and, believe me, your support and advice are much appreciated.

Wow- I can relate to those feelings all too well. But Hilly is going to have something special when she gets there which is an awesome support system! That’s all that we can ask for when we make those moves! I know from all too recent experience moving from Louisiana to California. I’m more thankful for those who say they aren’t going to put themselves in my shoes but will offer support when I need to talk because it’s an adjustment period.

@Miss Britt, I am doing infinitely better now than I was before I asked my questions. Thank you for asking, I truly appreciate it.

It is SO hard not just grab those we love by the hand and walk them through all the crap you’ve lived so you can tell them about all you’ve learned. But you are right on… that’s no way to learn.

Everyone has to find their own way; the best we can do is offer them a soft place to fall. And a cocktail when necessary.

Adventure. Heh.

Excitement. Hmph.

A Jedi craves not these things.

For crazy humans who seem to excel at them, those things are. Herh herh herh.

@Sybil Law, and it’s kind of understanding when you do it to children. It’s kind of embarrassing when you find yourself doing it for adults. LOL
