up-side-down

So, in case you aren't on facebook, our lives have been flipped up-side-down over the past few months. It started with one change, and then another, and now we are moving across the country...well almost. Here is the story. In April/May we found out that we would have to do IVF to have any chance of having children. As hard as this news was, it was nice to have an answer as to why the last 4.5 years have been so hard. So, we began that process. And as you've read, it was difficult, and still not over. I see my nurse today to get my schedule for implant. Then, in June we decided we needed more space, for many reasons, and would build a new home. We would have to sell our current home first. So we put it on the market and were under contract in like 3 days. We even closed EARLY. That was on a Thursday. Well, we were planning on going in that weekend and making the final decisions on our home we were building so they could break ground. In the mean time we've been living with my in-laws. Well, the day after we closed, before we started building, Jared's boss pulled him aside and asked him how he felt about running a campus in Houston, TX. We had never really considered moving. His job was doing great. But I've always said I'd go wherever we were needed. Although that comment was said never really imagining we would move. That weekend was hard trying to figure out if we should do it. They were more or less recruiting him to go run this campus, which just happens to be IN his mission boundaries. The more we thought about it, the better it felt. So Monday we backed out of our home lot so we could get our money back and waited for the final plan if we would move. Jared went down to Houston to check it out last week and then the final offer came Friday. So within a few months I went from my comfortable simple life to the adventure of a lifetime. Now I'm really excited, but also nervous. Things have worked out so perfectly for this to happen. There must be a reason, on top of his job, for why we need to be in Houston. The complicated part is figuring out how I can balance implanting my embryos, which is my first priority, and moving to Texas. Luckily they will move everything for us, but we still have to find a place and coordinate logistics etc. All while going to school and getting work set up so I can leave. Jared starts work next Monday in Texas, so he won't be here much. yikes! I just keep telling myself if I can survive until October I might just make it. I will try to remember to update everyone. Once we get settled I will try to post pictures so you aren't always just reading. But, that's what is going on in the chaos I call life.
