Decided

We made a huge, living changing decision, then changed our minds before it was too late. For the past month or so, Andrew and I were planning to move back to Wisconsin. I was going to get back into school for pharmacy and Andrew was going to continue his online school until he became an official resident of WI. Long story short, I was halfway packed, we found buyers for our furniture and appliances and homes for a few give-away items. Then decided (like the irresponsible children we are) that things were not falling into place as we hoped they would. The major deal breaker was actually on my end. I could only get into one class that I needed this fall. The others were full. Andrew still said he was willing to move (gotta love him) and left it up to me. I decided (after much internal debate) that this was not the best move for our little family at the time. Although we still only get part-time work from the mine here in Morenci, we are very grateful for what we have. As Andrew continues his education, I could not imagine a better part-time job for him. This entire process has allowed us to reflect on our lives and recognize that although things aren't as great as they were before, we still have plenty to be thankful for.

I bet that was a really hard decision for you. I know how much you want to go back to WI. I hope everything works out.

Hope everything will fall into place for you guys soon. And if you ask me that was a very "grown up" decision.
