Opti, Always good to hear from you. How did the assignment go with your H and did he ever answer if he'd like to have you and S14 there with him?
I do like CO a lot and for me family has always come first. Spoke with D19 today, gave her a call while we were out whale watching, she was miffed that I talked to xw about the move before her and said her vote was for us to come back "home". Could be happy if xw was more in a position like me, meeting and dating different folks. The one thing I'd have a hard time with is if she stayed with the OM that broke up that M/family in the 1st place. S14, despite wanting to go to CO wants to stay with S16 more wherever we go, and not even sure xw would take him in. What would make me most happy is for all of us to be a family again and do think that if xw spent some time with "the new me" and put in just a little effort/trust that she would come around. She said today she mailed the letter, think when it gets here will give her one last call to see what she thinks the boys and I ought to do. SO as of today, the votes stand two (S14&D19) to retire and move back to CO and one (S16) to put on Chief and do three years in NJ. Half expect that xw will vote we move to NJ and so will be back to me as the tie-breaker. Yes, definitely a tough decision. RonJon
