This is exactly how my husband greeted me when he got home from work today. I guess he’d had a rough day at work, to say the least. His parents are seriously talking about selling everything after the first of the year and moving back to North Dakota, and frankly, I need a change of scenery myself!
After almost 20 years of living in and around Vegas…we’ve burned out, pardon the pun! It’s funny, when we first moved here we were so in love with each other, being on our own, and living in Las Vegas, we honestly thought we would live out the rest of our lives here. To say our feelings have changed would be an understatement!
The area where we live, while quite beautiful and idealic, is crowded. Traffic is bad everywhere, crime is on the rise, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera! BUT, the thing that would make me terribly sad would be leaving the wonderful friends we’ve made while we’ve been here. My tribe, my support system, my compadres are all here in Vegas. Leaving them would be so heart wrenching. I’m tearing up just thinking about it.
Either way, nothing can happen for a while. We have things, big things, we’ve committed to for this coming school year. While there are definite pros and cons with pulling up stakes and moving, I sincerely think that the pro list would be longer than the con list.
More to come on this subject at a much later date.

Big hugs to you. I know those feelings. I am so ready to leave California. I have begged my DH several times to ask for a transfer or find a new compnay. Then to boot the comapssion we once shared with each other is now just living a daily existence. But the other side is the firends I will leave. Some of my best friends are here and I would miss them terribly. Sending good vibes your way.
I know how much you would love to be close to Porter and this would make that reality. As much as I could try to talk you out of it, change can be a good thing. It is one thing to move places you don’t like because of a job and another to move where you want to be because it is your choice. I know you will think it all out and make the best choice for your family. I will miss you if you do move, but I know my move is coming up in June 2007 and I’d be missing you then! Hugs going your way as you think this through.
well, the first thing i thought was that porter is there, so it would be GOOD for you, and I’m sure for him, too!!!! i know that what’s supposed to work out will work out. i’ve learned the hard way.
