Another goodbye…

Posted on July 3, 2010 - Filed Under Uncategorized

The time has come to say goodbye, again, to a place we’ve grown familiar with, people we’ve met along the way, and a life we created in Idaho.  I remember when we first arrived in this black hole of a town we wanted to turn right around and drive as fast as we could outta here.   Our adjustment was difficult, to say the least.  Strangely though, in these final days, I feel a bit sad to leave.  Maybe it’s the friends we’ve made, the comfortable house we live in or the familiarity that comes when you live somewhere for a length of time? Surely, it’s not the landscape or the opportunities that this town offers.  Whatever the reason, my feet and arms aren’t packing up our belongings as fast as I would’ve expected.  I’ve spent many hours dreaming of the day we drive away from this town, imagining a huge grin on my face never to even take a glance in the rear-view mirror.  Now though, as the end nears, I’m not so sure I’ll be smiling.
