It’s a lot of happy and sad. It’s “finally!” and “already?”. It’s been in the making for a very long time… and I can hardly believe the moment is here. My husband accepted a job at an aerospace engineering company yesterday, making the move 100% official. We really are headed to San Diego.
I just announced the move on the Facebook page a few hours ago, and already I’ve been getting questions. I’ll answer a few here:
~ When it’s happening: we’re moving in a WEEK! Not what I would have chosen, but that’s just the way the timing worked out. Of course it’s caused my stress level to skyrocket, but thankfully we (mostly) knew this was coming, so some preparations have already been made.
~ Am I accepting more sessions here in Florida: unfortunately, no. I REALLY wish I could have warned those people that have contacted me in the past and said “someday I’ll do a session with you!” I just don’t have any room in my tight schedule.
~ Is it a permanent move or just a visit: it’s pretty permanent! We don’t have plans to return to Pensacola right now, except on vacation.
~ Why am I moving: I get to blame this one on my husband! :) His career field is incredibly specialized (aerospace engineering), and a great company in San Diego offered him a pretty perfect job. We couldn’t say no, especially since he’s getting out of the Navy in just two weeks.
~ Am I going to start the business again in San Diego: YES! I can’t imagine trying to get a different job. I LOVE what I do and I’m hoping it won’t take too long to set up shop again!
If you have more questions for me, just leave a comment below. I’m excited for the future and I hope you are too!
Now… off to start packing…
