Am I Being Selfish?
If you are wondering about the Kansas thing, it is still a real possibility. Actually, more than just a possibility. They are just down to crunching numbers.
For my husband's sake I really really hope that it all works out. It would be great for his career, most likely fantastic for his psyche, not to mention his overall health. By health I mean because he won't have to eat 3 meals a day at restaurants, two weeks of the month.
Still, there is a part of me that just wants to stay. Stay where I am. Stay where it is familiar. Stay where everything stays the same. Am I just afraid? Am I just nervous? Or am I being selfish?
In my old Christian days, I would have just let him decide as he is the head of the house. Now that I am beyond that, or maybe just older and wiser, I want to have my say. I want to have it my way. Ugghhhh! Totally torn. In the morning I am all excited about the possibilities and in the evening... not so much. I know I will miss my daughters and my three sweet little granddaughters. I also know that my 4 year old will be just fine. So will I. So will we. So what is with me?????

I don't have any advice...just sympathy. It's a big move which is bound to be stressful even if it's a good thing. Best of luck in your upcoming adventure.
Hi there, I came across your blog while I was searching for a coleslaw recipe and just started reading a bit of it. What I find interesting is that you're contemplating moving away from SK while my husband and I are in the process of readying ourselves for a move from Vancouver back home to SK possibly S'toon or Regina. Good luck with your move!
Moving to another country is a big step. Do you really think it will work if you BOTH don't want it?
I personally think you are mostly nervous and I saw this because during the day, you are o.k. with it. From all I've learned and read and felt myself, it appears that at night most people don't want change, don't want to take a risk and just want things to be left alone. Where as during the day when we are rested and more aware, we are more willing to accept changes and challenges.
It is a big choice. I think you will find that there are pros and cons to both options.
Bon chance!
I'm curious to see if you actually moved to Kansas or stayed in Saskatchewan?
I don't know you and you don't know me but my advice to you is go for it! Having just moved back to my home community after a few years away in another part of the USA I would have to say my life is so incredibly richer - with new friends, experiences, opportunities - all things I would never have received if I had stayed put. I only hope I was able to give to others as much as they gave to me.
