This time last year, my husband and I made one of the biggest decisions of our lives. We were moving out-of-state. Again.
We first made this decision on our owns once upon of time. I was just 22 years old...I lived in California my whole life, born and raised and I made the decision to leave that all behind. We spent 11 years in the Pacific Northwest. I doubt that was even our intention but it was our reality. We explored the cities, the attractions, and the food. Eventually it became all too familiar, all the same. I think we both were secretly hoping for some kind of major change.
We got that, when my husband's workplace decided not to renew their contract with the building they were using to house all the employees they had. It was so sudden when we heard the news... nothing was concrete and all we knew was that the job that my husband enjoyed would be laying off employees with the downsize of office space. Some how good news became of this bad news, as there were opportunities for my husband to stay with the company by landing a job in a different area... different State even.
After much debate and discussion, we both knew we needed change. On April 19, 2018, My husband and I drove to his work place and he accepted a position for Arizona. And when I returned to work, I went through the process of a transfer.
So much time has passed and so much has changed within our lives but one thing remains, moving to Arizona was a grand choice for us.
Until next time,
~ Jennifer
