Not Me Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

Today is NOT our last day in Denver, Colorado...Our home for the last 2 1/2 years.
Location of the celebration of my 3 wedding anniversaries. Birthplace of my 2 adorable children. Place I experienced the death of one of my dearest friends. The home where my not-blood family began. Family that does not share any DNA with me or my husband but who are deeply embedded in the threads of our hearts. I have literally lived all over the world in the last 5 years of my life and this is the place (since leaving my parent's home) that has most felt like 'home'

Leaving is NOT bittersweet. Of course I look toward the future. Of course I'm excited about fulfilling our dream. But I HATE saying good bye. I hate knowing it'll never be the same...that though we'll remain friends we will no longer be able to share in life in the same way. The same get-down and dirty, laugh til our sides ache, share a meal and fellowship, love without saying so kind of way.

This is is an abnormal "NOT me! Monday post. I know.

I'm NOT sad. And sharing and being honest would NOT be more normal of me than anything. So there you have it.
I'm NOT sad
I'm NOT incredibly reflective and contemplative
I'm NOT reminiscing
I'm NOT dreading saying goodbye
I'm NOT going to miss this family
I'm NOT gunna cry.
Nope, NOT me!

Hey Petra, Remember how we were talking about different names for Grandma?? I told my mom about the Marmie one and she freaked out. She loves it, but we are still going to see what Ted thinks and what it might mean. Thanks for sharing that one!!!!
