Wow...

Seriously, girls! I was gone for 9 days! I expected someone to have something interesting to say by the time i got back! :)
Well, what can I say, except that i miss you all dearly. Luckily, I have gotten to talk to a few of you over my vacation.
The week in Tulsa was great. Fabulous. It was really hard to leave. (Juls, I assumed you were still in Ohio, since that was the last I heard.) I got back and this morning one of the recruiters asked me if I was engaged and when i was moving back. I couldn't lie, so I said, not engaged, but moving back. I told her not to say anything to the rest of them yet. She said, "You know you're the best person we've ever had in this position so you have to find a replacement that's just as good..." That felt good. She also said that she understood completely why I was leaving and that she knew everyone else would be supportive, too. Also, good. So I wasn't going to give my notice for a few weeks, but I may let them know sooner than later.
Things with my mom are good. They are on vacation now, and she should start chemo after they get back. She had a lump removed from her breast last week, but that was completely non-cancerous, so she's good to go there. She's feeling a lot better and i think she has a pretty positive outlook.
Things with Shawn are wonderful, too. Can't wait to be around him on a regular basis again. It was so good to spend time with him. He's coming up to meet my parents in a few weeks. That will be good as well.
Anyway, better get to work...catching up to do! Love you all! I hope everything is well!
