a change of plans.

so....last week my husband made a decision that seems completely insane but that i am trusting will make absolute sense eventually.

as i had mentioned in an earlier post, he got a job... a goodbye to the peanut and hello to a normal routine kind of job.  the catch was that he was to complete an intense 12 week training program with this large and super corporate company before being placed in a permanent position. i knew he had been unhappy since starting but i shrugged it off thinking he was just adjusting to this new lifestyle. i was wrong. he was miserable and despite how ridiculous it seems, he decided to leave the program last week after determining the company was not a good fit for him. that means a lot of anxiety and saying goodbye to benefits that were much better than those available to me at our non-profit.

i was left with 2 options - let the stress of his decision destroy us or trust my husband. he is a smart man who cares about me and this little nugget a lot so i am trusting this was the right decision for our family. it is hard being that i am now 2.5 weeks from the due date and he is back at the peanut (temporarily) while he looks for something else... something that will make him a happier person and allow him to be a better husband and a better dad.

the good news is - i'm ok... we're ok. and this certainly isn't the worst thing that could have happened. we'll survive and little nugget's arrival is rapidly approaching so we'll have a pretty good reason to do so.
