Hurry up to wait

The weekends go by way too quickly. Especially when you're trying to squeeze months of projects into days of time. It's never ending. This week has been better than the past couple but we're still sitting waiting for answers. Answers to big questions and small, though all of them seem big these days.

Plans are coming together for Sparky's departure to Alaska. He's leaving, but we're still not sure when. Our current state is holding up licensing, which really shouldn't surprise us, but as soon as it goes through he'll be able to call his recruiter and have him book the flight. Waiting is killer. Pins and needles. It's very exhausting. And stressful.

All of this has come up very quickly. We figured we'd move. We also figured and hoped that it would be within our current state. This 3000+ mile move is quickly taking the fun out of everything. The fact that we have a current lease also puts a damper on things. We're excited, and nervous. Nervous, nervous and excited. We'll basically be starting over. Some clothes, some mementos, the rest will be sold or put into storage until we decide if AK is our forever home, or until (more likely) we move back to the lower 48.

We had a good weekend. Spent a little time with our newest nephew T and his dad. Sparky golfed with Brother and Dad on Saturday while I hung out with Mom and T. All in all a good day. Today I fulfilled my role as good wife and cleaned and cooked up a storm.

Tomorrow's Monday...back to the grind.

"Til then...
