Hi Happytobechildfree,
I really appreciate your post. My husband & I have had some serious talks lately about moving. Though I don't think I'll get to leave right now, I am hopefully for the next couple of years... but I'm not banking on it. It sounds like I'm waiting for my prison release doesn't it
? In the meantime, we are going to try to work our budget so that we can travel one weekend per month ~ nothing fancy, maybe to a beach or another local city ~ wherever is within a few hours drive from our home. That should help chill me out for a little while!
As you noted, my husband definetly doesn't do change well. He thinks if there's not constant complaining about something then the problem must have just solved itself and went away ~ poof just like that! Personally I'm a fixer not a complainer, so most of the time I'm not whining about my dissatisfaction with our location ~ but it doesn't mean I'm overjoyed with it! Who wants to fuss all the time? Please don't get me wrong, I adore my husband, we just don't agree on this topic. We were high school sweethearts who dated forever, and have been married over 10 years, so our frienship should be plenty strong to get us through this rough patch.
Anyway... Congrats on your upcoming wedding and you're move to Florida! Are you planning a big wedding or something a bit more manageable? I hope you guys will love Florida... all that beach and sunshine ~ life is good! How exciting that for the first time you'll get to spread your wings and meet different people in an entirely different neck of the woods. No more folks who've known you since you and everything about you since the beginning of time! That'll feel like a big breath of fresh air! Enjoy your new journey and keep us all posted
