What if I had to move...

As some of you know, there's a possibility I will be moving within the next 2 months. I mean moving FAR away. A job has come into our "picture" that will require relocation but ONLY for 6-10 months. This makes me nervous but it got me thinking...

It's certainly not the first time I planned to move away. We had almost everything ready to leave and move to Orlando, oh about 3+ years ago. Literally, I was down to pricing the Uhaul with car trailer before I DECIDED we should stay. I opted to stay because I saw my niece Emma walk for the first time. I decided I did NOT want to miss those "firsts", if you will. So we stayed and I've YET to regret staying. Of course that move was a permanent move. We are now talking a temporary move to somewhere we probably would never want to live.

This possibility, however, throws a wrench into everything. We are currently under a lease with our (stupid) apartment #1. Then, what about Hero (dog)? What about Lucy(cat)? Of course they would go as well but they've never been on a trip like this. What about my FREAKIN' JOB?!?! Don't get me wrong, there are days I'd love nothing more than to walk away BUT those are few and far between. I love the people I work with, they are my friends. I like our clients (most) and the pets (again most) but I could never expect them to hold my job until I get back, especially with what I am currently making money-wise! OK so, it just brings up a lot of questions. I mean my previous reservations (ie my niece NOW nieces) may never remember I was gone, we're talking 6-10mos. Of course, I will come home at some point during that time. What would I even do during that time? I could never expect to begin a "career". It's just a strange thought but, becoming a very real one. So, for now, I have to say this opportunity is, truly, an amazing one...so if you pray, if you simply keep people in your thoughts or if you have some connection to this company (lol)...pray, think and put in a good word. As much hassle it may be at first, it will be worth it in the end...for us, for my nieces, for my family. So I'm hoping for the best, but if it doesn't come to pass then it was meant to be. At least that's the way I'm looking at it.

I was really sad at first ( I was like, AH! OMG!) and then I realized nothing will change between us if you move--DUH!(Assuming they have i-net where you are going) I am dumb sometimes and plus it is really late. I will pray for you Kevin.

Do what is best for you guys and everything else will fall into place...especially if you pray. I will pray too. If you need someone to keep "my lil hehe", I will but if he breaks another leg....he's gonna be a tripod lol :)

Oh Hero would definitely go with us! I mean, 6-10 DAYS is one thing BUT 6-10 MONTHS is too long without him lol.
