sounds like you got a lot of thinking and planning to do goose. just keep in mind the good things that will come out of this. best of luck to you. maybe your new place to live might be a beautiful place you always dreamed about.

well considering it's -40 with the wind chill and we've had weeks of snow here, most anything will look like paradise

Goose, remember that good things worth working for and rarely are easy. Uprooting the family may be difficult now but in the future will likely be worth celebrating.
Snow and -40 is no fun unless you love snow machines. Your 2 wheeled convertible will thrive in California as will your family once you get established. New friends, new activities, the odd earthquake will be yours for the taking. 2 words: sun screen.

Thanks WW.

I was hoping to hear back yesterday but it looks like it'll be later this week...which is killing me.

The suspense is almost unbearable especially considering everything is shut down at work because of the cold. Now I'm stuck at my desk just waiting for the email.

I appreciate the comments though, they remind me that its all gonna be okay.

It is gonna be ok. remember, where ever you go we will still be here.

Goose51683 · 01-28-2014, 08:26 AM

Would it hurt your feelings if I said that was less of a comfort than you'd think. lol

Just kidding.

grasshopper · 01-28-2014, 08:35 AM

lol. we will find you. lol. if you lived closer to me I would help you pack...lol.

Goose51683 · 01-28-2014, 08:42 AM

Hell I'm about to say forget packing, jump on a plane and I'll come back when it's warmer.

Hell they are hitting a low of 45 right now at night, thats shorts whether at this point.

they might pay for the ticket . just tell them you need to come down there and check out the operations for a few days before you can make a final decision.

I'm really hoping to find myself in Cali for an face to face next week, however when I talked to them last week they were hoping to have the deal closed in 2 weeks so they may offer the job prior to a face to face.

I'm an adventurous type, I'd be fine with dropping everything and going into it blindly.

Wife is freaking out about the details though. Big shocker!
