Tuesday Talk....

Happy Tuesday Ladies!
 
So true!
 
If you read my post yesterday, I had mentioned we are heading out of town this weekend, and though little weekend getaways are fun, this one isn't all fun and games! 
 
I have talked before about my husband and how much he loves his job!  He really does, he absolutely LOVES what he does for a living, and he is always looking how to better himself in his career and further it.  He got a phone call a few weeks ago about a company that is interested in him, we discussed it together and together decided the opportunity seems amazing, and it is definitely worth looking into.  The only drawback....the job would relocate us to another state.  I am definitely excited about the opportunity, and what it would mean for not only Mark, but for all of us, but a part of me is definitely a bit sad about the possibility of moving so far away. 
 
This Saturday I will have lived here in NC for ten years, and it's definitely become "home" for me.  This has been the place where my little boys have practically grown up, this is the place my sweet Olivia was born, this is the place where I met my husband and have made so many happy memories.  I am so lucky to have my mom living close by, and my brother and sister in law too.  The thought of being 10 hours away from them all definitely makes me a bit sad, but I also know that the greatest gain usually comes from the greatest risk.  
 
  I am so super proud of my husband and how hard he works every single day.  I am 100% supportive of him, and so incredibly thankful that my thoughts and opinions on this subject mattered so much to him.  We truly are a team, and I know that if I told him I just couldn't make a move like this, he would be OK with that.  I would never ever hold him back from an amazing opportunity, and though the thought of packing up and starting a new life is crazy scary, knowing that I get to do it all with him and our 5 kiddos makes it a little less scary!
 
So Friday morning we will be up early, heading out of town for what could be the start of a new chapter in our lives.  We are both excited and nervous, but really looking forward to see what the future might hold for us!  By this time next week I will know if we are staying put or packing up!
 
Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

  4. A decision to move is always a BIG decision, especially since you've been "home" as long as you have in NC!
