Aw,Jody, I’m so sorry about Corpus. I think I know how much the sea calls your collective names. I am not religious, but I do believe that things happen for a reason. Sometimes it is hard to see the reason until the lesson is over.

Your life sounds super stressful and I hope you are finding some smidgen of time for yourself.

I too am a firm believer in things happen for a reason. I’m sorry your travel plans were tarnished. I just found your blog, I hope things are going well!

I am happy things are working out for your family. No need to give up on dreams..wait for the biggie and in the meantime I am sure you will enjoy the 5′er for shorter trips.

It is good to see you and your family are doing well.

I’d be sad about not moving to the beach, too, but it sounds like the price tag on that job was a little too high. I too believe that things happen for a reason, so I guess you need to be where you are for a little while longer, at least.

Hope you can continue to make time for yourself, and your family, while juggling that large new ball–your job! At least it is something you have a passion for.

So many changes, I am sure it will all work out, but it’s still hard to give up some dreams.

I am so glad that things have fallen into place, and you no longer have to worry about benifits.

I so understand your disappointment. In hindsight things always seem to work out the way they are supposed to, you know? I was mega bummed out for you since I thought I had a beach vacation place lined up, you know your new house

And now I have to buy the UGGS? I shall tell Rob it is all your fault

oh, I am so glad the right job fell in his lap!

We struggled through unemployment for a year with people finding someone who would work for less money over and over again, until my Bill got his current job – with amazing benefits. Given what happened here in the past year, I think this job was the one we needed. I’m so glad that happened to you too.

I hope the year finishes happily, and that you can all take a break for a while!

Yay for miracles.

Jodie,
I firmly believe everything that happens is for a reason. This must be the right thing for your family for now.
Your life sounds busy beyond words..
