Ty got a job offer in Ogden, Utah!
Pro's: Career advancement opportunity, benefits (aka expanding our family and they will pay our realtor fees and move us), living close to my family, more to do in Utah, closer to the airport... and change is exciting!
Cons: Change is scary. Moving away from my grandma and Ty's family, Ty is a country boy and feels claustrophobic in congested cities, leaving our network of good friends in our neighborhood/ward. Losing money on our house most likely.
I'm starting to panic about everything that needs to be done in the next month. I need to find a Realtor here and there, need to rent/sell our house, find a new place to live, declutter, deep clean, organize EVERY space inside and outside, paint, depersonalize, keep it ready to show with two messy kids living here, etc etc etc. Owning a home you seem to hold onto so much junk. I want a professional stager!
The anxiety of all that needs to be done makes me question my original enthusiasm at the news. Moving sucks. I want someone else to do it for me. I already have everything I want and need (minus a basement because we just need more space!). Nervous about messing with a good thing. Maybe we would regret walking away from our perfect little life here? I am grateful for a good job offer and think it's a blessing. There is no way we can afford another baby on our current salary and private insurance so this is a good thing for our family. Right? I'm just overwhelmed and probably need to go to bed and tackle one room or phone call at a time on my list in the morning. Goodnight for now. We'll see if my mind will be quiet long enough to fall asleep.
