Possibility of Home Grows

A year earlier than expected, it look more & more like we're heading home in 2015.

I have grown to appreciate, even like, San Diego. For all my pouting and complaining, I am also growing comfort in my own skin here at last. So of course now that I'm easing into it we're talking of leaving.

Hubby's getting new orders to Great Lakes, right near where we grew up. He's submitted the application, now we just wait to hear from the navy. If I'm very lucky he'll have an answer for me tonight, but odds are more likely it'll be a few weeks.

I am equal parts excited and panicked over this. Excitement comes for the obvious reasons of seeing my family & friends on a regular basis once more. Panicked comes from having to enter this new phase in my life. Babies. Mortgage. New Job. New-ish location (we'll be a little further away from home to be closer to the base). 

I think I'm ready for this, though. I like my life when it has a strong river's flow. I'll get a little ebb of calm water, and use that time to prepare.  I graduate from my final course and begin the wait for moving- about 4-6 months. Then the strong current will take me away once more as we pack, chose a place to live, find me a job, reacquaint ourselves with our old friends and life, and get into the shuffle of the new life.

Oh yea, this is a good thing!
