we're moving!

Remember my "would you take this job" post? Well, we decided to go for it! Ben is signing the paperwork and giving his 2 week notice at his current job today. Eeeeek!

I'm really excited and definitely think it's the right decision, but a nervous as well - mostly about relocating (even though it's only a couple of hours away) and just the general life changes (turns out that being a government employee makes you really risk adverse lol). 

And it's made me feel a LOT better about my current super sucky job, knowing that the time I'm spending there is limited now...that every day is one day closer to me leaving. We're still not 100% sure when the boys and I will follow Ben to the new town - we have a 3 month target (that's when we'll go no matter what) but I think it will end up being closer to 2 months. 

Woohoo!

Congrats!  Yay for change.  I'm all about it.  In fact, I just quit my job and my last day is Monday.  So excited for a break and then plans to move back to Hawaii. 

So when are you quitting your job?  And does this mean you'll be alone with the boys for 2 months?  Yikes!  You'll be a busy mama!

Woohoo! You must be so excited about your big move!

Yep, I'm going to be single-mama'ing it for a while! Luckily Ben will still be coming home on weekends. I'll be working pretty much the entire time I'm still here...so interesting times ahead lol!

WOOHOO!!!

Congrats!  I hope it goes smoothly for you.  I was going to say I'm sad you are leaving, but it's not like you're leaving the board!

Yay! This is so awesome. This past week marks three years since we left CA and moved to OK. It's not always been perfect, but it has been for the best and has allowed us to start (and expand) our family and for us to accomplish some major goals like transitioning careers, paying off debt, etc.

Good for you for taking the plunge! You never know where it might lead...and I am sure it'll be great...overwhelming, no doubt, but wonderful in the end! Congrats!
