Throwing a Fit


Well folks, I’ve reached it. The place in my tour when I admit to John that I don’t want to leave next year.

I really like my life here a lot. I have great friends here and they’ve just arrived, so I’ll be the one leaving them. Malachi really likes his school here and comes home happy every day. I have an amazing nanny who I absoultely love, and I mean I really love her. It’s going to be so hard to leave her.

I have a great house, a great job, a great everything. I can’t imagine leaving – AND I DON’T WANT TO! But I have to. Almost 8 months to the day. Don't get me wrong I'll be happy to see people in TX, MN, and DC, and I'm excited for Manila - but can't I just come back here where everything is awesome and familiar? No? Damn.

Ah, but I love Manila. Manila is great. What do you mean I'll have to leave it in less than 2 years?!?

Ugghh, I already feel this way and we've only just arrived 3 months ago. I can't imagine leaving this place after another 2 years!

It's hard, looking forward to someplace new, and still loving the place we're in. I always have a difficult time living in the NOW - not looking ahead (or back) or worrying how much/little time I have left where we are.

I feel the same way!! I can't believe I'm going to eventually leave my "home" here in TA. I wish there was a chance to extend because we love it and our friends! I guess we have to get used to this transience...
