So.. I'm about to move soon, but I'm a bit nervous about it. I've never lived over 3 hours from home and I'm sad about losing the apartment I'm in now.
I just hate it..
I just wish he could come home.

I have cried so much tonight. I know I need to be there with him but this is a huge decision.

How was it for you guys when you first moved to be with your man?

Hey girl! Welcome! It is a HUGE decision! I made it almost a year ago. And it was tough, but it was so so so right! The first month here was tough, I was used to the city and this town is pretty small, so it took some adjusting. But I wouldnt change anything, I am so happy to have done it. Let me know if you have any questions! Take a deep breath and follow your heart and that womens intuition we all have!

I moved from San Diego to Hawaii to be with my hubby. It was hard at first, but then it became extremely fun when I made my own friends, got my own job, etc...
Before that, I had always lived with my parents and no place else. I was 20 years old when I moved from my parents house to Hawaii.
Good luck to you. Life is how you make it, especially with new duty stations, etc...

I never moved because of the military, but when I moved to a city with no family, no friends, no man...but an apartment and a job, I was scared to hell and lonely. Do you have a job or go to school, or something to meet new people? Anything new is scary, but in my opinion anything worth it always started out that way. This forum is a great place for support! Welcome!

I really feel like I'm doing the right thing. He leaves for Iraq in the fall and I just really want to be there and take care of him until he has to leave. And he is sooo excited about me moving, it's absolutely adorable!
I just worry about leaving my friends and my mom.

I'll be moving back here once he leaves and finding another apartment here until he comes back..then Lord only knows where we will end up.

Thank you so much for the encouragement!!

Just remember, your friends and family are a phone call away! I am so happy for you and this decision! I know how happy I am, and I get excited when someone else is about to experience it! Good luck, and look around this board for TONS of help!!

A little over 3 hours away is good. It not to far if you need to ge back. My first move i was 12 hours away for all family. It was hard since that was my first time away from family. But it worked out. Now 15 years later I prefer to put some distance between the family and me. It's not that I don't like them it can just be a pain sometimes. It's a big step. But it will work out.

I am currently in my own apartment alone... but soon will be moving to florida with my guy.

I guess I'm feeling more excited about it than anything else... excited about exploring a new place, meeting new people, learning a new way of life, finding a new job and hobbies...

Maybe start doing some research on the area you'll be moving to, so you can start getting excited!
Also, if you get homesick, 3-4 hours is not a bad drive.

Correction:
I meant I've never lived more than 3 hours away (I moved in 05 to NC)
but I'll be moving 7 hours away this time.

Still not too bad..

I would give ANYTHING to be able to drive to visit my parents, instead of flying ALL THE TIME...

I know it is a really hard decision, but you'll do great! I had moved to TX from NH to be with my husband back when we were dating. It took some getting used to but it was so worth it! You also become really independent.
Good luck, and PM if you ever need to talk!
