Commitments, Patience and Moving... what do you think
We all know we're in hard economic times so the following came as no shock to me. I'm blessed to have a job that I love and people I love working for...
The company I work for recently asked my hub and I to move to another city (ie location#2). We're in the middle of our move and they ask me to come back to the original city (location#1) for a couple more months. Our lease is not up yet, on the house we're renting in location #1, and my parents live in location #2, so it is possible for us to do this for my career's sake. Hubs is trying to find a job in location #2. Here's where I would like input:How do we make this a fun time, being separate, for both us, our parents and our friends!? It's a 3 hour drive. I've been trying to commit to kickball teams and girls' nights etc in location #2 so that settling in is easier once we're completely moved... now I must break my new commitments and start all over in a few months! Any words of encouragement?
Re: Commitments, Patience and Moving... what do you think
that's tough. are you going ahead and getting a place in location #2 or will DH stay with your parents until you move?
i'd go ahead and have DH do kickball (if he's interested) and if you can be there sometimes as a sub or cheer them on then great, but no obligation. kickball is fun! we play in Charlotte. 3 hrs isn't that big of a deal for visiting on the weekends.
Wonderful advice! I never thought of Hubs taking my place in kickball-that'd be great! He can definitely come stay with me sometimes at location #1, but the reason I want him in location #2 is so that it's easy for him to set up interviews and find work : ) For the time-being, Hubs and I have been staying week nights with my parents and spending every other weekend in Charlotte-aka location #1. We'd like to go ahead and get our own place in location #2 but have been waiting for two things 1.)to see where Hubs will be working 2.) until our lease is up in Charlotte. (may 31st) The swapping kickball idea is brilliant though!!! and 3 hours is nothing compared to what some families have to do!! I'm sure this will be a great way for both of us to focus on building upon our professional strengths to add to the security of our future for where we'll end up! Everything happens for a reason-right?! It's all part of His plan... I think y'all have given me new ideas on how to make this extra transition exciting!
THANKS!
