The best news ever – we’re moving to Northern Colorado.
Pardon me as this hits me like a wave of panic and overwhelm – we’re moving in like four weeks.
We don’t really have a place to live yet.
Our home in Texas has not sold.
I don’t have a job in Fort Collins yet.
We are not packed.
We haven’t had a garage sale.
We haven’t found a renter.
This is quite similar to the times I moved to Sauliai, Lithuania, Morro Bay, California, Longview, Texas, New York, New York and then Longview again.
You’d think I’d be so practiced at it, that I’d be immune to the paralyzing waves of panic and overwhelm in the face of an unknown future.
As the tears spill over I realize, I’ve neither grow immune nor accustomed to the looming, scary unknown.
Share and Enjoy

Yikes! Had to comment here because 1. I grew up in a Coast Guard family, and the “T” word was ever-present. We moved every 12-18 mos. and 2. I spent several years in Morro Bay.
I miss the central CA coast terribly. So I had to say HI!!
I loved Morro Bay. That time I had a job, moved by myself and had no place to live.
Which one is the “T” word? I even grew up a military brat. How is it that I’m not perfect at this yet?
Ft. Collins is beautiful. There is a great place for prime rib called Neil’s, ice cream at the Walrus is LEGENDARY; and you will LOVE Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.
The school of ag has a beautiful garden to walk through and old town has amazing shops. The weather will be significantly different than Texas. Polar fleece is your friend – 4 season friendly. There is a restaurant in Denver called Casa Bonita that your daughter will love.
Good luck with your move.
Yay! That’s great news for us in Northern Colorado!! If you’re not swamped, email me–I have a big Mother’s Day build-up involving bloggers if you want to participate!
