I have been inappropriately worried about posting my big news...for fear of jinxing it. And that is nonsense. Just like being superstitious. It's silly. Walking under a ladder does not determine what will happen to us. Like ALL things, it is in God's hands. God's perfect plan is just unrolling before my eyes.
So enough of the hush-hush, cautious, secretive-ness (lol...is that a word?). Let me just belt it out.......
WE ARE MOVING HOME TO MICHIGAN! This may only be a surprise to about 4 of you since word has spread fast.
I am craving being closer to family. I know I will be fine health-wise and probably live until I am 80 (I don't have enough money to live too much past that...lol...but 80 would be great). I feel VERY blessed that I can hear my clock ticking louder than before and as a result I am more present in my life than before. Hard to explain. I guess this is the elusive gift that all the cancer peeps talk about. So my gut and heart and brain...and kids...are telling me to get back to where I grew up. And I am listening.
So, like in all things I do in my life, things are moving a warp speed. I am a do-er. Can't help it. I am just very decisive. I will make mistakes along the way. But, right or wrong, I have got things rolling and moving and happening. Things should be settled on my new house in Michigan (double the space for a fraction of the price) this week. My house is on the market, in case you know anyone: MLS# 11255605. And I have started packing. Wish us luck! My intention is to get up there and settled in so that when I start back at a job my home life will be settled and I can focus on work. Plus getting Oscar settled in as close to the start of the school year as possible will be good.
I have an infusion on Tuesday. I will talk to them about how/where to finish my treatments. My last infusion is November 3. So that will work out too, I am sure. I may just fly back for them (cha-ching!) but that way I can stay with my dream team until the last treatment.
My warmest, loving regards to all of you. Thank you for checking in and caring about us Moons'!

p.s. We are moving to Rochester, MI. It is small town quaint...around 13,000 people. But close to bigger cities I will be visiting for my job. http://www.downtownrochestermi.com/

Yea, Maureen! I hope I'll get to meet you at one of Megan's stamping demonstrations one day. My SIL, Vicki V., and I just think the Moons girls are the coolest - Megan, Molly and (now) Maureen too!
How exciting!! I suspected that might be your news. Being close to family is so important, I can't imagine not living near mine. I'd love to get together once you get settled.
That's great Maureen!!! You and the kids will love being close to your family! We'll miss you!!!!

Hi Maureen, Elaine Morgan (aka Elaine Lewis) here. Bryan Austin gave me this blog address, and I am reading alternating between laughs and tears as I read about your journey. I am so touched and inspired - and so proud of you for your courage. Thank you for sharing. Your children are soooo beautiful, it is clear that you have so much love there. If I was smart enough to figure out your email address via this blog, I would send you a long email!!! My email is: emorganlewis@aol.com - and if you would be kind enough to reach out via email I would love to catch up with you. I'm so happy to hear your news about moving closer to your family - how wonderful for your kids to grow up close to their cousins - no better support system than family. Lots of love your way, and hope we talk soon! Elaine

Hi Maureen - what great news and i am so excited for you and the kids. Being close to your family and in a great city (where the seasons actually change!!) will be great. I have a good friend (over 25 years) who also lives in Rochester so let me know when you are settled and I will give you/her each other phone numbers.
Keep in touch and i have never met a stronger-willed person that you are and will continue to be.
Love you,
Sally
