Denver Update

You may or may not have heard that we got our official offer to work in Denver.  Funny that I always say "we" when I really just mean Matt.  Matt got his official offer from VLCM to work in Denver.  Initially we thought that we'd be moving before school started in the fall so we wouldn't have to switch schools in the middle of the school year (again the "we" thing, of course I really mean so the kids wouldn't have to switch schools), but VLCM would like us to move by Jan. 1, 2013.  For the time being, we've taken that to mean that we'll be moving the weekend after Christmas.
What a time to be moving across the Rockies into Colorado.  I'm hoping that we'll have a mild December and the roads won't be too bad.  Driving makes me nervous, let alone over icy, snowy mountain passes.  But as far as school goes, it's a good time to switch with the long holiday break I guess.

Moving to another state has me scared for a lot of reasons.  I LOVE being so close to my family and to Matt's family.  My ward here has been wonderful and I've got some really great friends.  I was talking with Matt's uncle and mentioned that I was scared.  He asked what I was most scared of.  Reluctantly, I told him I was afraid no one would like me.  I am terrified I won't fit in and I'll be so homesick.  I'm not worried about my kids, they are so affable and friendly.  They keep talking about finding and making new friends.  I'm not worried about Matt either.  He has to go out and meet people; that's his job.  What am I going to do with myself?  I know that things can work out, I'm just nervous about it all.  It's a lot more real now.  But, I've got 6 more months to enjoy what I have here.
