Must be an important date...

As I was driving into work this morning I got to thinking about the date.. I knew it was Thursday because Rob comes home from Alabama tomorrow.. but Thursday August 14 th.. THE 14th!! Today is my 8 year anniversary at work ( which is hard for me to believe) 8 years WOW... it has also been 5 years today that I went into the hospital for my suppose ed "Crohns" episode in which I had to stay 10 days!! and then tomorrow is the 1 year mark that we sold our home in King which is sooo bitter sweet.. We lived in that home for 8 years, it was the 1st home we owned together, We completely gutted and remodeled the whole thing so it was ours.. it was the home that we brought both our daughters home to and have so many memories that I will always cherish.. I didn't cry on the last day there which surprises me but I remember it like it was yesterday.. Sometimes I miss that old house and other times I'm glad we left.. We do drive by every time we go to King though just to see how much the things we planted have grown.. It is also the day we moved into our new home to create new memories!! Happy Thursday everyone!

It was bittersweet when we moved also. We sold our home about 3 months ago and I still drive by often to see all the flowers we had planted. Your new home is beautiful!

You should have seen him putting up the icicle lights at christmas! needless to say in the new house I put it above my fireplace and added a cool new star to it.. Ill have to post a picture.. my own little creation!!

Possibly moving... opinions wanted

OK OK so this isn't set in stone yet, nor has the offer been made but I would love to here different opinions on this (Jennifer, I know yours) LOL. So, after much consideration my husband quit his job a couple of weeks back to go into another line of work, now he has been in the transmission industry for well over 9 years now so this is what he knows(like the back of his hand). Anyway he is now in his new position and and having to learn to love the office environment ( he used to be southeast sales so needless to say he was on the road ALOT!) it is taking some getting used to on his part. Well he gets a call in the last week or so from his old companies competitor asking him alot of questions and wanting to know if they could meet with him to possible offer him a HUGE position and double his salary to move to (drum roll).................ALABAMA!!!! Now let me just tell you this is a once in a life time opportunity for him and needless to say I would go if and when he is offe
