Sweetie, moving is terrifying. Moving across the country is batshit crazy and terrifying. It will probably be AWESOME, but it's okay to be scared and nervous. It's okay to feel guilty that you're not going to stop in Utah to visit me and Nate and let us take you out for sushi. It's okay to be ascared.
It's also the most stressful thing you will ever live through. Well, maybe. Moving cross country is the most stressful thing I've ever done, and I've had a kid. So just prepare yourself now, remind yourself constantly that "stress is temporary. it will be okay." and you will be fine. And if you need any help, we are happy to do what we can.
We cannot house Claire but I would in a heartbeat if we could. Bamboo and Panda need a new friend, but our crappy place is no-pets so we're sneaking them as it is.
(PS - your whole thing about California being home? I know. I know exactly what you mean. England is mine.
Oh, and, I moved back here from Arkansas to be closer to family. My relationship with my mom was great when I was in Arkansas so I thought...
Well, let's just say, it took about 18 months before it was good again. And sometimes we still have our spats. But, our relationship is still infinitely better than it was pre-Arkansas. So there's that.)
