Leaving the Nest
Well since the last person that reads this blog that didn't already know will be here today to visit us to hear our news...I figured I could go ahead and share it on here. Brandon has been offered a promotion/transfer and come January we will officially be Texans. The branch of the Army that he works for is headquartered in San Antonio and they are doing some big restructuring and an opportunity came up for a special job down there that Brandon's boss thought he would be perfect for, so for the fourth time in almost five years, I will be packing up our house and we will be moving. We just found out last Wednesday and I think I've had about a billion things going through my head since then. I finally made Brandon sit down with me and make a list so I wouldn't go crazy! I can't imagine what life is going to be like without my parents and sisters just minutes away and I'm really trying not to think about it. While I know it will be really hard and sad to leave, it is a little exciting at the same time. Anyway, I can't say much more because I might start to cry or I'll go into crazy detail about all the things that I can't stop thinking about (houses, moving, day care, jobs, the list goes on)...so there's our news and I'm sure you'll hear much more as the weeks go on!!

How exciting. Every time we find out about a move Dan calls it "The Next Big Adventure." We are going to be moving about the same time (Christmas) to North Carolina. I know just what you mean about things being crazy. Gotta love the Army.
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I am sorry you are so sad...and I understand all too well about leaving "home"...but I AM SO EXCITED!!! ;) I can't wait till yall are down here! We go to SA quite a lot, so this means I am bound to be able to see you now! ;) Anyhow, I will contain my excitement for now, and hope that this is an easy transition for you and that it goes so smooth! Love you! And tell your folks, on the bright side, the Watson's are down here, too, so the more the merrier! And aren't S & S still down in SA??? Anyhow, sorry for such a long comment -- I should have just emailed you! HA! Love you!
but just think, you'll get to be by your brother!!!!
and anywhere from 7 to 9 hours away from 4 Herron siblings.
we could all be friends again!
Ok, I'm not ready for this. I'm so used to people moving, but never thought you guys would. I know eventually we'd have to move, but I thought we'd get a few more years in before we'd have to say goodbye. But, at least you guys will be in Texas, and it won't be too hard to come visit when we're down that way. Still...it's way sad. I know it's a blessing and it's going to be great for you guys, but still makes me sad. :(
Wow - not what I expected to see on your blog. That's exciting though. I felt the same way when we were moving to Memphis from Atlanta (I realize your move is a lot further), but still, you're without your parents, etc....you'll make it though! Hope you don't go crazy in the meantime figuring everything out! San Antonio is a fabulous place!
