As the header reads, the operation has begun. Sort of. It's mostly in talks and we're trying to plan everything out like dates and all that and just the more we plan, the more daunting and hard everything becomes.
I put in my three weeks notice for my job. Three weeks because I want to be able to help train whoever is going to be taking over my job. May the odds be ever in their favor. And also to get a couple more paychecks to try and save up as much money as possible.
With Christmas and the move coming up, it's going to be so tight since I still need to find a job in Utah. A good job that will help with bills. We won't be able to both have an apartment, thats two rent bills, two cable bills, two electric bills, etc. And then trying to bring Yzzy back with me, that would probably be more money for the flight home and we'll have to get her shots, which is another vet bill. Everything is stacking up.
I realize it was my choice to put in my three weeks already when we're looking for a flight in January for me. But my reasons make sense to Kasey and I and that's all that matters. We realize that money is going to be super tight and we will just have to figure stuff out, but this is what we decided. Having a family is important to us. We have been trying for thirteen plus months and my stress with my job is affecting my health. And our happiness at home. Yes, we also realize that most jobs are going to be like that. But we also know what is important to us. We feel it is also smarter to have me move home so I can try and get a job there and set some stuff up there. So I want to be able to spend time with my husband during the holidays and being the Video Manager with basically no one in my department means that I would not be allowed to spend that time with him before I left. Yes, we have gone through a deployment and being in different continents and for a longer amount of time. But that just makes me want to spend even more time with my husband.
It would be super helpful if the people who owed us money would pay us back. That could take care of a couple of car payments. Or a flight back and a car payment, at least! But we don't see that happening.
When I move back, I will be jobless and carless. I may or may not be bringing our cat back with me. I'll probably have a suitcase or two of clothes and that's it. Any help, any help at all, would be greatly appreciated. We aren't asking or expecting the world. Just some support and help through this hard time.
We know we have more than some people. Right now we both have a job at the moment, two vehicles at the moment, and a roof over our head, at the moment. But soon we wont have that. But the most important thing is we have each other.
