So... My hubby and I recently discussed him taking a job that would move us far away from our family. I was thinking Alaska, like he wanted. Which isn't too far from Oregon but not close lol
Turns out he want to work on Jets again, like he did in the Air Force... Which is great. It's what he loves to do and it would make him happy. The catch....
IT'S IN SAUDI ARABIA!! Now, that's REALLY far away. It would be for 1 to 2 years and he would leave us here for 3 months and then come get us to live there with him on base.
Sounds good, right?! NO!! Literally right now, as I am typing this, it is 10pm and 98F there!!! I am not made for that kind of heat! I like my cold, wet, muggy Oregon weather that rains more than shines! It's 12 noon and 58F right now!!!! I don't think I have ever been in weather that was above 102! And it plans to get hotter there. Up to 120!!!! OMG!
I know, I know! I am complaining over nothing and I need to shut up and just thank God for this chance. It would help us out both as a family and financially! It would also make my husband so very happy to be able to do what he loves to do. After a year or two, we might return and he can choose to work on jets here. I need to just count our blessings and drink LOTS of water!! I worry about stupid things if this actually does go through... Heat, Spiders, Snakes, Scorpions... HATE them all and i'm pretty sure they have all those in abundance. Yes, we have them here too. But I have gotten better at avoiding them in my 23 years alive and only ever in this state! Well, and Washington! But they hace the same weather, mostly. I also hate moving for the simplest reasons... Where to put all our stuff?! What about our mail?! And then we have to come back and do that all over again! I hate that and we had to do that 4 times in one year alone...
Goodness I have issues!! OH!! And the Airplane ride?!?! What if when we're flying, my daughter gets bored and starts crying and wants to run around and everyone gets mad at her for it?! What if something goes wrong with the flight and we go down??!?!?! I'M PARANOID!! As you may have guessed from earlier, i've never left the state... Hence, never been on a plane....
Well, that was my rant for this week and hopefully soon we will know all our fates concerning the big move. Or get a job here. Or get a job in Alaska...
Who knows. If he does get the job, I can't be the reason to say no and break his heart. I will go and be happy about it!! I guess then I'll have some Saudi pictures for you guys lol
Thanks for listening and bearing my paranoid stricken head through this.
