So a couple of posts ago I said life was vanilla....rolling along all smooth-like and nice.
Yeah. I just ensured that for at least the next year, life will be anything BUT vanilla.
We got orders. Luckily, we got orders stateside to Illinois. Unluckily, we have to be separated because I am staying here to finish out my last year of Dental Hygiene school. As much as I want to just quit, and go with him, I can't. That would be stupid. I've spent 3 years and a lot of money to get this degree. Further, we have decided that he will take the kids with him. His Mom, who is a Saint, will move temporarily to help him care for them. I feel pretty strong right now. Like I can handle this. I know that the grief will come as soon as I have to come back here alone. But for now, I'm going to focus on finishing this semester, soaking up my children and trying to sell our house.

Oh Kim, I feel your pain! You guys will get through this. Thank goodness for your MIL. Some decisions are harder to make than others, As long as you know there is a light at the end of the tunnel it will go a touch easier. Good luck with the whole process.
We will all be thinking about you.

Kim, what a hard decision to have to make. It sounds like it's the right thing for you, as difficult as the next year will be. I hope that in the grand scheme of things for the Schaub family, you'll be able to look back on it and feel like it was a small blip in life. I'm so proud of you for sticking with school. I love you!
Holy Crap. My head is spinning for you right now. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks Mel, right now it's still planning phase. I'm just hoping thing's go as smoothly as possible....
Just want to send you wishes for the easiest transition possible and that the year goes quickly for you all!!!!
