This is zapping a little bit of my joy and excitement of moving to the TV next week - although I knew they would be saddened (I am too), I thought they would be more supportive of my move, and of course I have a guest room for friends to visit, and will be flying back to Colorado a few times a year to visit them and spend Thanksgiving. Would like to hear any comments from those of you, and how you handled the move away from friends to TV.

This is a pretty normal human reaction / emotion. You are leaving your friends behind for something you believe is better and something they either don't have the courage to do or can't do for other reasons. They need to distance themselves from you to help avoid the pain of when your gone. It's actually a great complement to you that they are doing this.
