Moving back to Texas

Well, I think we are actually going to be able to move back to Texas this summer!!! I am so excited! I'm also nervous, just like I was when I moved to CT. It feels weird, I'll be moving home, literally moving in with my parents again, but I'll be a totally different person than when I left! I am a Mother of 2 now, a nurse, and older! After seeing how the world works outside of TX I am a little more skeptical and cynical too. I am also SO looking forward to going to a "real" Church of Christ. (Please don't take that statement the wrong way or be offended, but as most of you know we've had a hard time with church up here.) I don't think I'll have hives for weeks like I did when I moved up here, but I find myself very anxious. Will I be happy? Will I find a j0b in maternity? Will I like my new job as much as I love the one I have now? Will the girls forgive me for taking them away from a place where they can play in the snow? Is it really financially worth it, moving is very expensive!! And most of all how on earth am I going to get everything organized and packed while continuing to work 36 hour nights! The thing that keeps me at peace is remembering how I feel when I am in Texas or with my friends from Texas, I LONG for those friendships I don't have up here, even though they will still mostly be about 2-3 hours away, I can still see them more often than every other year!! I love the pace back home and the big open sky. I also am very close to my family and miss them so much. That and the fact that with the kids, Dan isn't really able to make progress on his career up here anyway at this point, so we might as well be down by friends and family! Please pray for us during this time to make the right decision! Thanks everyone!!

Yep. It's kinda crazy. Lots of variables. Oh well! Sometimes it's necessary to take a leap of faith. Love you, babe. I'm sure it'll be great.
