Thanksgiving in October

Saturday night at 8:30 and I am saying goodbye to my friends and family. It is allot harder then I thought. I figured we would ride off into the sunset and nothing would change. I would always here the laughter in the garage,the kids screaming at the play station or my father and his friend trying to out talk each other. I'm not sure this will all set in until I am sitting alone one afternoon trying to unpack and get our home together. It might not hit until I see James walk through my front door in December. Until then, I will go along for the ride.Am I scared, Ah Yeah! I think I just came to the realization that I am . Can I do this again, can I leave my friends and family,the what if's or could'a , should'a, would'a's. I know that there is a plan out there and I need to follow it. Sometimes I laugh at myself, it's not like I am leaving forever or moving around the world, but Alaska is pretty far from home.
I want to THANK everybody who came out tonight, My family Fletch,Kerrie and her beautiful daughter and son,Chris,Sheila,Rich and Jess! My favorite uncle in the world, Wesly, I am holding you to your promise! My brother and his wife Tami and my parents whom seem to always be just a yell away....for now. Rodney, my offer still stands and you always have a place in the north. I love you all very much.
Much love to you all.....
Shannon

Shannon - Sara told me he other night about the Casey/Daryl connection. I still can't believe that. I saw Casey on your blog and thought, "how does she know her? Maybe she goes to the office for her teeth." Sara told me and I was in disbelief...It really is a small world. I love Casey. She is one of my favorites. We'd have such fun if we all got together! I've been thinking of you tons as you are packing up to get out of the lower 48. I am sad that you'll be gone, but when you come back we'll resume like never before...I could have more kids by then! Now that the baby factory is open, I have to keep it running! Love you, Berg
