Home Sweet Home?

   Since I don't have a full time job at the moment, I have plenty of time to think about everything and anything. It's awesome and a pain at the same time.
   If you really know me you know that I am a worry wart. I stress over little things and I am not all that patient (Right, Kaye? hahahaha!!) I don't like not knowing. Period. I like knowing what's ahead, where I am going. I don't like surprises being thrown at me out of the blue. Most of the time, those surprises aren't compatible with my schedule or goals in life. Go figure...
   Our time in Hawaii is almost at an end. Our biggest question is: where are we going to live next? We could end up staying here, Texas, Georgia, or Washington D.C. This all depends on job offers for Ross.
   I am torn. I REALLY wanted to move to Texas. I have an account on Zillow and about 12 houses saved on there! Hahaha, I have one that I love. But the more I think about it, the more I would really like to stay. I do love the weather. I love the climate. I have some pretty close friends here (Stephanie Lynn, you just need to move here woman!!!) and I would really love to teach at Mauka again. I love that school. I love the mountains here. I love taking Jax to the dog beach. I do like occasionally going to the beach to lay out. I think it would be an easier move for us as well. Moving to another place would be craziness because we would be homeless until we find a place. That may take months. That means months of living in a hotel and not having our hhg.
   But then I miss being close to my family and friends back home. I miss out on family reunions, seeing my niece grow up (and not being able to teach her how to annoy her mother :D), and cheaper cost of living. That's all my pros that I can think of right now... staying has more, but they being away from my family and friends back home is just tough. I know it's part of growing up and venturing out. Hawaii is really far out, though!
   Never in a million years would I have ever thought I would be living here. Never. I am thankful for the opportunity. I do really enjoy living here. I am ready to move back to the mainland but also stay and enjoy this place. Bah... I just need to know NOW!!!! Hopefully we will know soon. Then I get really stress out over the move.
