Up until October, I had a great job that allowed me to work from home and homeschool our children. Then some corporate person decided my job wasn't all that important. I was offered another position, but it meant full-time in the office. My husband and I decided that wasn't for us and we have spent the last few months getting our Florida home ready for sale. We will be off to South Carolina - the Lexington area. We will be able to buy a house with cash there from the profits of our way overprices Florida home. It is a tough and scary decision, but I really do think it will be for the best. I will add you to my prayers that you find your way. BTW, I have been reading for awhile and wondered what you and your dh do for a living? It sounds interesting and crazy all at the same time! Just one more thing I love about your blog!Kari C in SChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612685744264381063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-91040240434201068872007-02-02T00:27:00.000-06:002007-02-02T00:27:00.000-06:00Glad to know I'm not the only one feeling this way...Glad to know I'm not the only one feeling this way. A year ago, I was following my parents to the place they retire to in the middle of the beautiful Canadian Rockies and now with the property prices here rivaling that of SoCal, if I leave and I hate it, I can't afford to come back. But, I need change... and I've already redecorated.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499823088655188550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-80138142244260452882007-02-01T21:55:00.000-06:002007-02-01T21:55:00.000-06:00OK, I tried to comment earlier today, but it's not...OK, I tried to comment earlier today, but it's not showing up... hopefully this works! Just wanted to say that I know it can be frustrating to have an idea of what you want, but be unable to figure it out. Being a New Englander myself, if you move to Bar Harbor and opened a store, I'd come by for some chai tea! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-10870239241758733882007-02-01T21:28:00.000-06:002007-02-01T21:28:00.000-06:00If you move back to New England I'd love to meet y...If you move back to New England I'd love to meet you and the amazing trips!ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10107387078104994223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-52133220632091572072007-02-01T18:17:00.000-06:002007-02-01T18:17:00.000-06:00Jen, What about building UP?

You can stay where you are, work where you do and enjoy the beautiful weather. <br /> I know it is hard waiting to see where the wind will carry you next. We have been wanting to move since before the babies were born and still are undecided where we would like to go. <br /> So right now, we are just holding on to the hope that when the good Lord figures out a plan for us, we will know where we are MEANT to go.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799206797837693770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-28543126923705060522007-02-01T15:10:00.000-06:002007-02-01T15:10:00.000-06:00lefnThank you for this post.

Reaching a sense of certainty would be a great relief. <br /><br />Whatever you decide regarding your major life choices, you will not regret, for one moment, the time you spend with your children now.<br />I stayed home for 15 years and that put us a few years behind our peers when it came to the new house and anything but the most modest of cars. But it has been so worth it. When we finally built our house 5 years ago, we felt especially thrilled because we felt we had waited and accomplished it in a way that was right FOR OUR FAMILY - notice I said "for our family", because this is not in any way intended to be disparaging to mothers who work full time outside the home. <br />When I put Kayla on the school bus for the first time 7 years ago I remember very clearly what I whispered to myself "Thank God I had these five years at home with her." <br />My aunt always says to be specific in your prayers, and God will be specific in His answers. You'll know when the answers come. The hard part is waiting, huh?HWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260566913424446132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-55155303794963651892007-02-01T12:41:00.000-06:002007-02-01T12:41:00.000-06:00Thank you for this post.

However, my husband is facing some big career changes right now trying to decide if he should go back to being a pilot (he has been furlouged for 5.5 years from NWA) or stay in the business world. He would take a big pay cut (1/3) at first going back due to the pay cuts that pilots have gone through but he would be doing what he loves. However, going back would mean that there would be no move for us in the near future and a very unpredictible schedule for his flying. Yikes. These life decisions are exciting but at the same time hard and draining. I wish you luck in your big decision. We live in MN and I love it here but since the high tomorrow is only -3 you would probably laugh at me if I recommend you move here! :O) <br />NicoleErickson 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/14824410552862001606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-45487472899683358192007-02-01T12:24:00.000-06:002007-02-01T12:24:00.000-06:00Jenna-
