where we go from here...

a few posts back 

I wrote just enough words to let you all know that I was feeling overwhelmed

and 

then swore to remove that word from 

"the dictionary of beth"

remember

?

well to thank all of you from the bottom of my love swollen heart

here's a little bouquet of wild, breathing hearts

jumping out to say

thank you

and 

if you asked me today how I'm feeling

I'd answer

"not as twisty as I was a week ago"

~~

"but still a little twisty"

my hubby

my rock

my guiding light

has just said "yes" to a new job

and

I'm so incredibly proud of him that I want to scream it from the rooftops

~~

he has been looking for something "new" for the past six months

and

when this opportunity came his way

we just knew that 

"good things come to those who wait"

~~

many of you know that we have moved

many, many times

{13 times in 25 years}

and

have loved every minute of it

and

even tell people that we have a little gypsy in our blood when they ask

why

~~

so another job

another move

another state

another house

never takes us down

as we have always looked at these opportunities as 

adventures

or

just another chapter in the "book of our lives"

my hubby 

has been been incredibly fortunate to work for companies

like

pepsi and wilson sporting goods

just to name a couple

but

this time

he's heading to

a company that's amazingly wonderful

~~

are you ready

for it

?

he will be working for 

the OLYMPICS

~~

I know

totally cool

right

?

and

now this is where my feelings get all jumbled up for both of us

~~

our youngest will be a senior next year and the only high school he's been in 

is the one here in madison

so I'm staying here so that he can graduate with his class next year

~~

some of you might think that we need to make him move

so that we can keep the family together

and

I wish it were that easy

but

after moving him during his 7th grade year

and

again during his 8th grade year

we promised not to move him while he was in high school

~~

so

with hearts that will be working extra hard 

my hubby and I will be apart for a year 

as he starts this new adventure on his own

in 

colorado springs

~~

granted

there will be lots of flying back and forth 

phone calls that never end

emails filled with love 

packages in the mail filled with goodies to make each other laugh

and

eyes 

that will fill with love tears when we see each other

but 

it'll be wonderful

~~

because 

that's how I'll make it

for all of us

~~

because that's what I do

because that's what my job is

because in the "book of beth"

~located on the same shelf as the "dictionary of beth"~ 

that's what love is
