Ah Shelll.. When they told me we were stuck in NY.. I literally cried for days. Yu have no idea how much the move meant to me.. I guess it was better to cry for days than to eat for days... Sigh.. He may get out of the Marine Corps over this, which will be sad also because then we will never get to move to Cali...

Thanks Shell for your honest post. We all have to be reminded why we took this step in the first place. Sometimes it because all too easy to do that.
