Change...

So since the last time I blogged some things have changed. Since December my hubby has had 3 10% pay cuts and he lost the night shift differential. Hubby has been coming home every week for a couple of months asking me to send out resumes. So I have been. Well on Tuesday he got a call from a company that is very interested in him. The plant is in PA. We have talked about this before and we had decided that We (me and the kids) would stay here while he goes up and works. Well now that it is a possibility hubby doesn't want to be without us. Now I realize it will be hard and ideally I would not prefer it to be that way but honestly there is no other choice. I was looking online to see what the cost of living is up there and honestly in order to make it up there I would have to work full time along with going to school. I just don't want to do that. I have but I didn't get to see my family at all. To me it just isn't worth it. However there are many many job opportunities for social workers if you have your BS which I will have in a year. I just can't see leaving when I am so close to that goal. I can put off grad school for a semester but not my BS. My good friend Annie has offered to let me and the kids stay for a year. The fact that she would offer such a wonderful thing is amazing. She truly is a wonderful person and a great friend. After discussing this with hubby he seems less upset about having to be gone from us for so long. The other thing that is troubling is the kids. Hubby told the boys today and Ty wasn't too bad but Gabe just lost it. It is such an awful feeling to see your child cry like that. I wish there was another option but really it seems like the company he is with now is sinking fast and we truly can not take another pay cut. We have dealt with moving many times before but this time it is so much harder. So whether we like it our not I think the only thing about the future that I am sure of is.....Change is a coming!
