Well, we're now waiting for the offer and benefits package from HR. A lot of things could still change. The area is beautiful, and I would love what I'd be doing. All the same, I'm very uneasy about the whole thing. There's a lot of drama going on, and work has gotten...weird. My boss needs to support the move, and he said that he sees "no reason to not support it" although he's very displeased about it. I can understand, however, it's made for an uncomfortable working environment. He's the only one that knows, though, which does help. Everyone else still treats me the same way. My concern now is that if HR makes a crap offer and we don't move out there, things won't be the same here. I'm finally busy(ish), which I like, but I'm also very stressed. I'm sick of doing what I do but scared go somewhere new.
This once again postpones the prospect of having kids. Oh well.
With moving out there, we'd rent for a year. This brings up many things, but on the top of my head are:
1) We'd be completely debt free once our house here sells.
2) Can we find a decent place to rent that will let us keep Bassie?
3) Do we take our furniture or leave it in the house until it sells? What about all of our stuff? The relo package only covers moving our stuff once, so they'll either move it to the apartment or move it to a house if/when we're ready to buy.
I realize that I've been longing for the days when someone else made all these decisions. Most people can't wait to grow up and be in charge of their own lives, but my parents were wonderful and made good decisions for us. Sometimes I miss that security and ease.
