Lots of things have transpired n the last month. Jamie and Nathan were laid off from their positions with Halliburton and have been home since early March looking for jobs and just generally hanging out. Jamie has decided as of this last week to apply to Western Culinary Institute in Portland and is waiting to hear on his acceptance. Not doubting that he will in fact get in, this means we will be moving back down to the area somewhere within a time period of 5 months to a year depending on the plan, which at this point is still up in the air. I am excited and hesitant at the same time. Understanding that this is a fantastic opportunity for him because he has always wanted to pursue this and he is at the point where it is an all-or-nothing idea, I on the other hand am established in a position I enjoy and am not looking forward to leaving. A job with extreme growth and potential. A job that I was planning on continuing by also continuing my education. Not that this will be any more or less difficult if we move, it will just require alot of rethinking and replanning as to how I am going to achieve my goals and dreams while Jamie does the same. It will also require a lot of planning in terms of moving since we will sell everything and just drive down and start completely over. So needless to say I am definitely torn but I am trying to keep the faith and knowledge that God ultimately has a plan and where a door closes a window will open.
We have also decided, unfortunately for those who are looking forward to grandbabies, that if we are unable to have children naturally by the time we are both 30 then we will just forget about pursuing it. I have never felt comfortable with the idea of playing God with my body and injecting it with things that are unnecessary (ie: extra hormones,etc) and stressing my body out for the sake of procreation and I dont feel my life would be incomplete without children. I enjoy my freedom and dont feel I would regret it. If it happens great, if not then no biggie. If it is supposed to happen then it will happen normally.
Other than that, just sitting here getting my drink on after a hellish week of SBA testing while the boys cook a fantastic dinner for Easter. Pics to follow.
