For those of you who don't know, we have moved an immense amount of times. For my new job that I recently started, I had to turn in addresses for the last ten years for a background check. EVERY SINGLE ADDRESS where I had received mail. 17 addresses. We've been married 12 years...so that makes for a whopping total of 20 addresses in 12 years. Some huge moves, some across town kind of moves. Some were good moves and some of them were NEVER should have happened kind of moves.
You're NOT going to hear me say that I'll NEVER. EVER. MOVE.AGAIN. Because if I do that, I can almost be guaranteed that I'll be moving. However, we have put down roots here. We're making plans for our future here. And it feels so good. I've never had this. This is the first time in our marriage that we've hit the one year mark and not been looking elsewhere at other jobs or career moves with in the same company. Call me crazy, but it's an unbelievable feeling for me.
HAPPY ONE YEAR IN ALASKA TO US....AND MANY MORE!

I cannot even imagine moving as much as you have. I am such a home-body and DO.NOT.LIKE.CHANGE.

Moving 20 times in 12 years...wow! It must feel really good to be staying put in one spot :)
Thank you so much for your comment on my blog. I started my blog as a way to express my feelings and had no idea that I would find so much support. I had been feeling pretty alone.
I'm not on facebook, but I will try the msn chat. Thanks again
Happy One Year! I hope you can stay there for a good, long time.
Congratulations! You sound very happy. Good for you. God must really be blessing you right now.
Hugs for your lonely girl.
