Life has been busy but nothing exciting, up until a few weeks go. Jamie was offered a job in Smyrna at the base there. We found out the mid of June. I wasn't too thrilled with the idea of moving to Middle TN but after a couple of days of praying, I felt a calm about it and asked Jamie if this is the job he wanted, he said yes, so I agreed to move. Thus started our home hunting adventure. We put our house up for sale...no takers yet, only one viewing. We have made 2 trips to Smyrna looking at a total of 14 houses and only 2 that we are considering. There is one more I want to look at that our realtor sent Friday night. Jamie is going to talk to the bank this week to discuss our options about buying while trying to sell. If they can work with us, we might go ahead and buy a house now so Ashlee and I can move not too long after Jamie starts the job. He is to start Aug 2nd and will just stay on base during the week and come home on the weekends. We really don't want to do that for more than a month. I won't be working after we move...though I might work part time for my current company now. My boss is going to see about what I could do from home and remote into our software. He is just worried he won't find someone as good as me...his words not mine! Made me feel good. The ad to replace me starts today so we shall see if we get any good resumes. I want to make sure someone good takes my place because I know my boss has been through alot and I try to make sure everything is taken care of so he doesn't have to worry as much about the office.
I am stressed about the move...stressed over keeping the house clean, stressed about not having any viewings, stressed about finding our new home, stressed about moving everything, stressed about our kids and how the move will affect them (remember we have 7 furbabies), and just stressed about the entire move in itself. I know my parents are not happy with the move but in my heart, I know this is what my family (Jamie, Ashlee and I) need. It will be better for us in the long run of things. Once we get settled, we will start Ashlee back into daycare for at least 2 days a week to give me some time to clean, work, or run errands; plus it keeps Ashlee up with her social skills and verbal communications, which improved greatly once she started daycare in May.
Well, that is what my life has been for the last few weeks. I will try to post about the move if I can.
