Big life change

 Life is about to change in a big way....

Just worked my last shift at my hospital cuz we're out of here.

Hubby finished his training and got a job in the field that he's been pining for for the last five years. As such, we are moving where his new job is.... several provinces away. 

When we told my family, my mother says "you sure you want to move allllll the way there, it's going to be cold"..... such a silly sort of thing to say considering I was raised in northern ontario! It's not like I'm not used to cold - not that I like it either, but it's not like I plan on living in the outdoors!

So now we're packing up all our stuff and purging the stuff we don't need or want, etc... Hubby keeps asking me, "you sure you don't want to keep that". Ya I'm Marie Kondo'ing  - if I don't love the thing and use it all the time then it's "out of here" as the saying goes. I'm definitely in the process of getting rid of a lot of things. 

What surprised the hell out of me is that hubby said he wants to buy things new when we get to our destination.... it's going to cost a bloody fortune but he's sticking to what he says (at least for now!). Knowing him, once the price tag keeps going up and our bank account keeps going down he'll change his mind and say I need to hold off. I suppose I should make a list and prioritize things I need immediately vs things I can wait for. 

I'm absolutely excited to going. Little tyke is staying behind for now. I'm not happy about it but I've been advised that my say doesn't really count. Little tyke wants to stay behind for now and my MIL wants to keep her with her - we'll see how long that lasts! Little tyke is now 12 and has major attitude and tends to only listen to myself and my SIL - so I can see the fights that will ensue when I leave. I told my MIL that if she keeps her, I don't want to get a phone call from her saying that little tyke isn't listening or is being a brat, etc.... and if she does, then she's responsible for getting my daughter to me in the other province. I have a bet going that she'll bring her to me by august, december at the very latest. We'll see if I'm right.

So for now it's just hubby and I going.... which isn't too bad. I like that I get time with just us, no one else around. Right now there's NINE people in our household, it's hard to get alone time with your spouse outside of your bedroom. So it'll be wonderful to have that, we haven't had it since we were married for like 6 months. I suppose with it just being us there it'll make it easier to try to have a baby - hahaha
