Time for my online presence to spell out what's going to be happening in "The Bug's Story." Many things in our lives have been changing. Many more changes are coming. Strangely enough, though, many things continue to move forward. None of the things that I want to share today are easily laid out in a blog post. Who does this? Who lays out private issues in a blog? Ugh! I don't know . . . but here it is . . .
June is here and the girls and I will be moving to Montana at the end of this month. I have been working two weeks out of every month across North Central Montana since January waiting for June. June . . . it has been my target. Target for moving. Target for cutting my time on the road in half. Target for leaving friends and family behind. Target for starting over again.
So here I am in June . . . finally . . .
I sit here now listening to my girls giggle in the bath tub.
In two days I will be posting about Kyndra's 8th birthday party.
In three weeks I will be posting pictures of my new house.
Next year, teachers will say "Joe" without "Stacy" in the sentence for the first time in over 10 years.
Some of you might not understand . . . and that's ok. Some of you might stop reading . . . and that, too, is ok. I am not going to try and explain what happened in our marriage or how we came to this place in our lives. I am only going to say that no decisions that have been made were reached lightly, without thought, sleepless nights, and tears. Things have been kept calm, friendly, and quiet for two reasons . . . our girls. We will do our best to keep things as "normal" for them as possible. Now. . . and in the future.
June . . . you bitch . . . you came at last. I have been holding it together by the merest of threads at times waiting for you to arrive and here you are. Now it is time.

We are strong, happy, excited, sad, and scared . . . all of us, and we know we have friends who love us. The only thing I ask is that you keep all of the Bug's in your prayers as we embark on this new chapter of our story.

You have been and you will continue to be. ~ We love all the bugs... together or apart! We look forward to visiting the Montana Bugs when we travel through and we will keep in touch with the Oregon Bugs around town.
Blessings to all the Bugs on this new chapter of The Bugs Story.
See you soon - we love you all! Give Kyndra a birthday squeeze and we'll do it in person in a few weeks.
I will be praying! Take care and good luck with your "June" changes.
We are gonna miss you A LOT. You were one of the few fun people here.

Prayers for new beginnings and old friends.
Of course I will still be looking forward to reading your blogs.

You're coming to Montana?
