I am detached and it is very very difficult. However, I also have an adventure streak and would definitely do it. But if you think you may come back, I would do it this way, a rental first, like a one year commitment, keep your home here and rent it out or something and just see how it goes. Read the book halfway to each other. I have it and will let you borrow it. It is not exactly fitting since it is about a marriage that is struggling and so they moved to italy and found each other again. Your marriage is awesome, but the book has some great examples of how to do what you are thinking about doing. The military moved us so we didn't get to choose our parameters. That also makes a difference. I think that you could definitely make it work but you have to want it really badly in order to really succeed. In my opinion, if you have doubts, you are not ready to leave that network of people.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11379183820085691322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879225361237419168.post-26927994407700184742012-08-04T13:31:20.951-05:002012-08-04T13:31:20.951-05:00I've been following you for awhile now.

It sucks!!!! And I get home almost every other month. I'm blessed to have parents and sisters that help with plane flights. But it's not the same. They/we miss the little things. I would not recommend leaving for weather. Family is so important. And it's only going to get harder as your kids get older..they get more invoved in school, sports, and other activities.Bill and Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040636984721153302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879225361237419168.post-62698327860792340432012-08-03T08:26:17.414-05:002012-08-03T08:26:17.414-05:00Oh Allison this is a hard one~~ we almost moved du...Oh Allison this is a hard one~~ we almost moved due to my hubby's job but ALL of our family is here and our church is our home.

Every day would be a vacation. My parents don't understand. They live a half a mile from me and don't see leaving because of the kids. I have four very awesome grandkids. <br />I too think well they would just love to come and visit Grandma and Grandpa at the Beach. I mean who doesn't luurrrvvveee the beach? But tell me "The Beach" or "OHIO" mmmm. One daymy friend, one day :)tinachishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003091091052304844noreply@blogger.com
