Today was one of the most difficult days of my life. Although I am thrilled to start my new career in South Carolina leaving my family was heartwrenching. As I pulled out of my driveway my 12 year old was in the window, tears pouring down her face, blowing me kisses. I had to pull over after I got away from the house because driving through the tears was impossible. I knew it would be difficult, and up until this week I was living on excitement. Today, though, it was just pure sadness and a lot of questioning my decision. In my heart I still believe it is the right thing to do but that makes this no easier as I spend my first night in a hotel all alone. No husband to cuddle, no kids to talk to and kiss, no tucking in and no puppy kisses. It is bitter sweet. I will be fine; I know that! My kids will be fine too and so will my husband. Soon we will be together and sharing a walk on the beach gazing at the ocean. For now though I will just share my adventure with "Jello". Jello is the stuffed dog my daughter gave me so that I wouldn't be lonely. I told her that I would document my journey with Jello in photos. So follow along to see how Jello and I adapt to this new adventure.
