Times Are a Changin'

They say change is good, right? right? Well...we here are in for some serious change. My husband was offered a job last week. I much better paying job. A job with much better (and cheaper) benefits. A job that could finally give my husband what he deserves, being he is such a hard worker. A job that will take him to Long Island, NY. Long Island. This is not exactly around the corner, but not ridiculously far either. The only reason it's considered far from us is because of traffic....without traffic it is only but an 1 1/2 hrs from us. With traffic, 3. Therefore...for the next month...and quite possibly longer...I will not see my husband during the week. There are more pros to this than cons for me. On one side, there's the fact that not only will he be making more $, he will be considered at the end of the first month to also help run the marketing dept and have an additional salary for that. On that same side, he is actually in a job where he's not feeling the hurt of the bad economy and most likely will not. He has the potential to flourish there and eventually help expand and open a new office in NJ. OR, flourish in NY and move us out to L.I. to live---not too happy about that, but whatever. On the other side, he will be greatly missed...not only by me...but by Gavin. He already goes thru Daddy withdrawals when he doesn't see him all day and night...and only gets a few mins during the morning. But we figure if we want to make sure Gavin has a great life, we must sacrafice sometimes....and we will always have the weekends. It's scary starting something new. I feel bad for my husband, but kinda excited at the same time. I really hope this goes well, and hope that we made the right decision...
