Changes, New Oppurtunities, The Unknown

Well, lots of changes going on around here. I keep meaning to update....but it has been quite busy. The biggest update: as many of you may know, and some may not, M-Dad has accepted a job opportunity up North. It is similar to what he was doing at his last job (import/export/shipping company), but with better pay/benefits and hopefully a better boss! The main reason it was time to leave his former company was due to the fact that his boss was an extremely unfair, unreasonable, boss who had no clue how to treat employees. There were other employees who left for the same reason. But, that is all water under the bridge now....M-Dad got some good solid experience, and will move on to bigger and better things. M-Dad left G-Town today in order to start his new position tomorrow. M-Kid and I will be staying here for awhile longer, length of time to be determined....but probably a couple of months or so. We have things to take care of down here, and would like to make sure his job works out, and we find a good place to live up there, etc. Not to mention, I have to figure out what I will be doing. I think I am leaning towards going back into the regular working world, and sending M-Kid off to pre-school. I have enjoyed working for myself, working from home, running daycare, and spending my days with my M-Kid and the tots...but I think this might just be the right transition point for us to make a change. So, the details will need to be worked out. We are also working towards our future goal of buying a home (eventually, maybe not right away) hopefully in P-Town. This is where we want to be, live our life, etc. We have enjoyed our time living in G-Town. It has obviously been nice to live close to my family and be just a short drive away. It has been wonderful. Our location couldn't be more perfect. In walking distance from the mall, many shops, parks, and more. It will be really hard to move away from my family and the comfort we have here. We were really feeling like everything was in place, for the time being anyway. And it is just that. We knew we wouldn't be here forever. It just isn't the longterm place for us to be...the quality of life isn't what we want. The traffic, the poor air quality, the people (depending on the area). M-Kid updates: He will be 2 soon. We are celebrating his birthday down here at a train park (where else??!) He has been testing us a lot! He is talking a lot more, repeating words, using phrases, comprehending a lot, learning his numbers and letters, he knows most colors and shapes as well! It is amazing how much they can know and learn at this age. It has been so rewarding and such a blessing to see his progression and know that I actually taught him something! Anyway, that is all for now, as I need to go off to bed. Here is a pic of us from last night, M-Kid's last official night living in G-Town. We had a BBQ at our place, and then went to an awesome car show that was within walking distance.
