It was either laugh or cry.......we laughed

Sooooooo.......the hubby and I were researching the area that we'll be moving to yesterday evening and ended up huddled together in a laughing heap. No matter what site we looked at for the local area there was no getting around the fact that it definitely had a, uh, rural focus. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the country and even here am used to regularly seeing the odd tractor here and there riding down the road, but this was just too funny. Every single page had the local fishing report very prominently displayed and under the list of local events there was the beginning of huntin' season in big, bold lettering. My personal favorite was the ATV Jamboree.

Yep. Nothin' but helpless laughter at this point. Especially when I slapped hubby on the arm and wailed, "You are movin' us to the boonies!!" (Sorry, Cuz.)

And then to top it off, I asked where the closest Wal-Mart is (because I don't know the names of grocery chains over there). Hubby snorted and showed me that the closest major shopping area is at least 100 miles away. I think Hubs was laughing more than I was at that point.....

I Have a Good Reason.......Honestly!

I know, I know! It's been almost a week since I last blabbed on here. For shame! I have good reasons, though. Gettin' ready for the In Laws who come down Saturday, continuing to work on the Bubs's bedroom, and here's the doozy........we just found out yesterday that we're being transferred. We're talking about a move from one coast to the other. I've been alternating between shock, grief and outright anger. Not to mention praying.....although begging might have been a more appropriate description a couple times.

In short, we don't want to leave but we don't have a choice. My family is devastated that we will be so far away. Travel is not easy for them because of health reasons, especially now that Mom will be undergoing radiation treatments. The swiftness of the move has also taken all of us by surprise. I'm talkin' about a matter of months, y'all. Oy!

Hubby and I haven't told the Bubs and we have no ideas about how or when to let him know. He's sooooo excited about going to "Poppi's school". Now, he'll only get a few months there before he's yanked cross-country to move to a very rural area away from everything familiar. My heart is already breaking for him.

We've been so incredibly blessed to stay in this area for so long. In my head I knew that it would come to an end eventually, but in my heart I was still holding out hope that we would somehow, someway be able to stay here. Unrealistic, but that's how I roll people.

I'll be posting more about the Bubs's room soon, but for now I'm gonna run. I don't want the Hubby to come home and find me, yet again, in a puddle of my own tears and snot.
