It's 3am and I can't sleep.
iKeith received an offer from The Dream Job! We are very excited but also worried because it's a pay cut....and we have very little wiggle room in our budget. We spent hours last night trying to figure stuff out and also figure out where we're going to live.
Now you know why I can't sleep.
My brother in law is going to look at the perfect apartment for us tomorrow. It's a place that I wanted to live when I was single and Bobbi and I even looked at them once. It's right next to the place we wanted to live when we thought we couldn't have kids and within walking distance to Little India, Whole Foods, a liquor store and Michaels. Of course I won't be able to shop anymore....
It's also 10 minutes away from Nana and Poopa and it has a pool. The kids are thrilled!
The other thing that is keeping me up at night is the fact that iKeith needs to report for duty on August 9. Which means that I have approximately 23 days to pack and move and I will miss Bobbi's birthday. Oh, and I need to sell half of our stuff to pay for our move.
I need to get some sleep....
Yay! I am so happy for your family! So does that mean Colorado then? I would way rather visit you there than Utah ;) I suck at sleeping right now too...
ReplyDeleteawww i understand why you aren't sleeping.
ReplyDeleteHave faith. It'll all work out in the end!
Congrats! Sounds like a fun journey is ahead. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen it is meant to be the doors will just open for you. I promise.
ReplyDeleteYou can do this! Divide and conquer. I know you can stretch a buck when you need too... we all can... I bet even Martha Stewart has had to simplify and be resourceful.
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived closer. I'd help you power pack, rifle through furniture and items that you could sell on KSL, and stay focused [or just play with your kids so you could stay focused]. Hang in there, Connie. At least you don't have to sell your home. THAT would be terrible. Congratulations to Keith. Frame this in your mind as the exciting, positive, awesome situation that is for your family. :-)
What an exciting and scary time! Thinking of you and wishing you all the best on the big move.
ReplyDelete*hugs*
Wow! That does not give you much time. BUT I know you can do it. Make some lists and get started.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are able to move back "home" to Denver.
(((HUGS)))
Congrats on the offer. You all will make it work. That is what good families do. I wish I would get a job offer for less money and benefits included, shoot I would be there in a minute.
ReplyDeleteSleep, nah..you don't need sleep, who needs sleep?
Well Im glad he got the offer...but wish it were better for your family. Still keeping you in my thoughts!
ReplyDeleteWell no wonder you aren't sleeping :(
ReplyDeleteHang in there. You've been wanting to get back to Denver for as long as I've 'known' you - it may be financially painful and physically/mentally stressful, but things work out the way they are supposed to. And your kids aren't far away from being school aged, then you can work at Michaels! Or the liquor store! (But seriously - things will work out!) Happy thoughts and prayers coming your way from me :)
Good luck honey, I know it's tough to face a pay cut. I will keep you in my thoughts as you work your way (very quickly!!!) through this! Hugs from Texas!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the job offer, hang in there! I agree, it all will work out. Thinking about you out here in Cali.
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting. Congratulations!! Hope you got some sleep.
ReplyDeleteIf I weren't 8 months pregnant, I would fly out there and help you pack. I'd rather visit you in Denver anyway :)
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK with everything. Make lists, stay focused...and just remember that you're moving to the place you've been dreaming about for years.
I am so happy for you. If there is ANYTHING I can do please let me know. I'll take my flip in a flash to any apt you want!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! And scary, and overwhelming, and sad, and all the other things you are feeling! But mostly exciting!! :)
ReplyDeleteI can completely understand why you're not sleeping. But I'm sure everything will work out and you will all be really happy.
ReplyDeletePrayers are still headed your way.
