WOW!!! It's been almost a year since I wrote on here and boy have things changed. I actually had to go back and re-read the last few posts to see what was going on.
So what has happened since I moved to BR, the big city. Well I got a wonderful job at a wonderful credit union and learned a new side of the credit union. I also spent the first half of 2013 learning to be a CCUFC and I'm so freaking proud of that accomplishment - just received my plague!!!
In March we put our house up for sale hoping that we could finalize our move to the big city. And in the first month we had an offer! YAY us I can finally go house hunting.
In all this, Hoss's company was sold to another guy and changes were coming. And not changes we were necessarily happy to see.
And then the house offer failed. We just couldn't come to terms. After that the house just started to falter, no showings and definitely no offers.
Our babies, well, they were having a hard time adjusting to city/apartment life. And a few hours a day at the dog park just wasn't enough.
So while I was loving my job but not the logistics of the big city. Hoss LOVED BR but the job wasn't quite what he thought. And the pups just loved us so it didn't matter.
then **Ring, Ring, Ring** opportunity came a-calling. Our renters moved out and the renter found a new job in a new city and Hoss's dream job came back up. And those bosses decided what Hoss wanted in his life was what they wanted in terms of money and officiating. So a little over a year after Hoss told me we were moving to the big city, we decided it was time to move back home.
And I moved on faith. I applied to one job and one job only for a mid-sized CU in the area, placed a few strategic emails and calls and turn in my notice to give me a week of vacation between job and potential or no job. In which I turned 30!! And lo and behold, it was a vacation between jobs.
So year 30 started with moving back, getting back with family, leaving my awesome new friends and old ones from college. But the loss of friends was worth it. I'm even more fulfilled in my job and so is Hoss (or at least that's what he has told me)
So I started my 30s with Hoss and a dear friend from college who I hated saying goodbye to later that week. One thing about the big city, it was freeing but I'm trying to take that back with me since I've been home. I have to maintain certain things but I can still be the person I showed in BR and be truer to myself than ever before.
I hadn't reconnected with old friends from here but I can't say that's a bad thing. A few years ago things changed and I don't know what happened so I've moved forward again and have found a good niche with my co-workers at both places.
I still miss my friends from BR but that's the beauty of today's friendships and the internet, you aren't ever that far away.
And our next chapter in our life has started!!
