Talked to Joe last night, and he gave his notice to his job on Monday (Dec. 3rd). It is a 2 month notice, which means we should be moving around the 1st week of February. There are some things I am excited about....starting over in a new place, kind of like a new beginning. Also there are 2 girls in the "neighborhood" we will be staying at which are aged either 5 and 7 or 6 and 7. Either way, they are definitely in the right age group for Emily and Nicole. There are also a couple of stay at home mom groups in the county, though at this moment I do not know if I will continue to homeschool for 1st grade or let them finish out 1st grade in the public school there. Also (something I am looking the most forward to) is the fact that we will probably be able to own a few goats, bunny's, maybe a pig...I'm just a big animal person, and with having all that property, a barn, and a fenced in pasture, we can really explore having some animals we'd never be able to have here. A couple of things I'm not looking forward to (other than obviously missing family and friends), is the cold weather and the fact that everything is so far away. Here in FL we are worried about "coastal flooding" and hurricanes, but there we have to worry about the New Madrid Fault. I found out that we are most definitely in a zone that could sustain damage from a massive earthquake. I think living out of the city will be to our benefit, but don't necessarily feel safer when it comes to global catastrophe's. We are well into that red zone.
I am also worried about the restaurant failing. If it succeeds...awesome! But 80% of new restaurants fail, so we are more likely to fail than to succeed (statistically speaking). If it were just me and Joe fine, but we have our little girls to support, so this takes a huge leap of faith...faith that I don't have. Needless to say, we are leaving on Tuesday to check everything out, so when I get back I will write another post to let everyone know how it all went. I am hopeful.
