DH got a job in a different state
Looks like we're moving to New York...Corning, NY that is.
Most of you know that DH was laid off in Feb this year. He finally got an offer for a job this week, and we've decided that we will go to NY to take the job. Funds are dwindling and unemployment runs out in January, so we really have no choice.
I have yet to tell my boss. All along I've been telling her that we can't move, but now it turns out we can b/c the co will be paying pretty much all moving expense including buying out our house. Everyday since we found out he got the job, I've been coming to work and hoping that she won't ask me how the job hunt is going. I hate to lie (even though I'm good at) and I have a headache all day while I'm here. I don't know how to tell her or when, for that matter. I don't think I can do the 2 wks notice thing b/c I do way too much for that and have too good of a relationship with everyone here. I just know that I'm waiting to here what DH's start date will be.
I'm excited that we'll be starting a new chapter in our family book, but I am so sad. I'm leaving my job, not knowing how quickly I will find another. We're leaving our families and friends behind. And most importantly, we're going to leave the good bbq. Oh yeah, it's gonna be hella cold up there.
It's hard being happy and sad.

Re: DH got a job in a different state
Congrats to DH on the offer. It's seems to be a very good one and well worth the move. I hope you get all of your answers and are able to let your boss down easy.
If they need him sooner than later, can you stay with family for a few weeks to help her with training?
My mom is in a really bad financial situation (including having home foreclosed on), and she decided since she was moving either way why not start over somewhere else. She said she'd either come with us or go to CO where my aunt is. It all depends on my sister who really needs her right now. Since little sis has always wanted to move to CO, it looks like they're headed that way too. I love my mom and my sis, and it's so hard to leave them, but we have to right now.
I think I will be training some one as soon as I tell my boss. I don't know who yet, but the sooner I know when we're moving, the sooner I can start passing on duties. I just know that my boss will be upset.
Blessings come in many forms. Sometimes they come in the form of second chances. This is a wonderful opportunity for your DH. Grab it with both hands and move forward, together. What a wonderful Christmas gift!
Congratulations! Texas will miss you.
I'll definitely miss Texas.
God has proven time and time again that He listens. Thank you!
You're welcome. I am so happy for you. Not many people get a fresh start. Maybe this is where DH is truly meant to be.
