Finally...relief!...we're together again! When separated for so long and 4 months is long for me... you realize and start thinking of the many men and women that are serving our country and who are separated from their families for months, if not years! Oh, how my heart aches for them! Unlike some of these families, my mind and heart was constantly reminded and reassured knowing that I would see my husband again. I am so grateful for those who sacrifice their time, families and and lives for my freedom!!
Being born and raised in Utah has been wonderful!! When people say "we're sheltered" well, they are right. What a drastic change to move from "naive" Utah to "watch out" California ! Gas is $3.42, you share washers/dryers, there's no hangin' out at Walkers :) and I feel like the minority! But, count my blessings!!!...Josh is in school and enjoying every second! His classmate "buddies" have been angels! I can't thank them enough for looking out for him and making sure he's taken care of!
Leaving home really hit hard when we got our news from the UofU. Our unified decision to stay and proceed with in-vitro if "Yes" or pack up and leave if "No" came pouring down on me like a hale storm! Not only did my heart get hit and bruised all over again, I knew that my 2 weeks would come soon and "Please Remember Me" was all I could think about! The water works began before I even said Hi to any of my "patients"! Oh, there are so, so many I will miss!! I never knew it would be that hard to leave WORK!! Come on!...it's work for cryin' out loud!!! I have grown to love and admire not only those whom I worked with, but those people and lives that changed my life!! I watched new born babies grow from visit to visit, miracles happen within minutes and also years!...And I watched some of my best friends grow older and pass on to a much better place! These people who I call friends and family will always be in my heart and thoughts...ALWAYS! If only I could thank each and every one of them for the difference they have made in my life!! My last request to them..."Please Remember Me"! I love and miss all of you!
