Well, the time of year has come where the combines are loaded, trailer houses are hooked onto the service rig and pickup, and the boys are ready to pull out of town. I knew this day was coming, I just never knew it would hit me as hard as it did. I have known we aren't going on harvest for a while, but there was something about seeing it all loaded up, ready to go, and our trailer house wasn't there with the rest of them. Of course I am relieved to not be going for pregnancy reasons, but part of me feels lost. I never knew after just 4 years of going, that I would become so attached to such a different yet awesome lifestyle. I'm going to miss the weekend garage saleing, all the cooking and taking meals to the field, and getting to watch Jaylee ride in the trucks and combines with her boys! 
I'll definitely miss the afternoon coke drive around town, trying to find the best ice in town! Oh and I for sure am going to miss all the "hand signaling" that goes on in the field day to day. I'm going to miss it all! Well, maybe not EVERYTHING. I don't think I'll miss moving day, and the bickering and arguing going on when we finally get to the next place and my trailer isn't level and I have to act like a not so nice person to get it levelled. I think more than anything I'm going to miss my mother and father in law. Both of them have been so good to Jaylee and I this past school year; we have become so attached to them! I know Jaylee will miss her Lolli and Pa! Hopefully the Dr will approve of us travelling a bit this summer and when Jeremy gets a weekend off we can go see them!
As for Jeremy,I know that if it's hard for me missing a year after 4 years, it has to be killing him inside. This will be Jeremy's 2nd time in 28 years that he will have not gone on harvest. So, although we are in a different place this summer, our hearts will be with Lowe Bros and missing (almost) every step of the way!
