Life Changes

Actually, the reason I need said housewares is because of a big life change. After two long, tiring, anxiety filled years of looking, I've been offered a professional position in my field in a wonderful institution. The problem? It is in Oklahoma. OK, so that's not such a big problem, but my husband's job in Pittsburgh is too good to leave, and he loves it. This opportunity is too good for me to pass up, especially as an emerging professional. So we are doing a long-distance marriage. He'll work from OK one week a month, but that's it. And it kills me. Having to have that conversation with him was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever done. I've never heard him cry like that. I've never felt worse in my life. It honestly was the worst thing I've ever had to do. And now when we talk about what I'm taking to OK, it's like we're getting divorced. But the thing is, we're awesome together. We're perfect for each other. I love him even more now than I ever did before. I just don't know how this whole thing is going to go down. Ugh.

PhoenixAzul, friends of mine do this, and they say that it made their marriage stronger. Hope yours works out the same way!

What are you looking for? Even though the estate agent was paid to take everything away, the people put it in the front & back yards instead! We're calling the Salvation Army & Gooodwill in the morning, but there are sofas, loveseats, books, dishes, etc. It's a mess, and I'm exhausted from cleaning it up! Let me know if you'd like the address, to do a little clearing away!
