Currently, I am using my blog to help accomplish and work through several things going on my life right now. This may very well change. I've always believed that life is what you make it... so this is my life as I choose to make it. Or actually, Our life as We choose to make it, but from my POV.

Note to self...

Posted Thursday, May 22, 2008 10:41 AM

Do not go to a 12:01a showing of a movie unless you KNOW it will be the most awesome movie EVER. We saw Indiana Jones last night and while it was a good movie, I could have waited until this weekend to see it instead of only getting like 3 hours of sleep and being super exhausted this morning. At least I'm not cranky... yet. Thank god my boss bought me Starbucks this morning... Ugh.

I talked to DH last night about the annuity my grandfather left me and I think we are on the same page on most things except he wants to start thinking about relocating soon. Um...excuse me? I'm not so excited about that right now. I know that he wants to end up in the Pacific Northwest eventually, but I'm really enjoying Denver right now. This may be a little selfish, but I would really like to get a career path started before we move to a new place again. I finally start on one in Phoenix and we move to Denver and i couldn't get anything in that field. Now, I feel like there is real potential at the company I'm with now for me to be something other than a freaking receptionist for the rest of my life and he wants to move again, which makes it pointless for me to even try for a promotion if I'm going to be leaving again in a few months. I'm not going to ask him to stay at a company that he hates, but I would like to stay here for another year or two. I'm sure he can find another job in his field once the current season is over. I'm just not ready to relocate yet. And I'm not sure how to bring it up. I guess I'll just have to think about it a little more.

Moving is such a big decision. Its important that you are both on the same page with it, so I would definately talk to him about it.

I want to go see the Indiana Jones movie too, but Aaron hasn't seen any of the previous movies. I tried to get him to watch them, but he just wasn't interested. Might have to go with one of my brothers or something. Glad to hear it was good. Not sure I would have gone at 12:01 though :)

I heard the movie was good but not great...sorry "good" made you lose sleep :(

I agree about the moving thing...you both need to be on the same page. It can cause resentment if you are moved somewhere you don't wanna be yet...

re: Note to self...

At least if you move again, it seems like it would be permanent, giving you time to really establish yourself at a company.  Perhaps he's thinking it's best to move before you do move up and then maybe have to take a demotion if you move.  Just trying to see both sides.  I hope it works out for the best.

I agree, if you move soon, then you might be less invested in the place than you could be in a new more permanant area.  However, if you are feeling really good about this job and field, then he needs to respect your desire to move forward in your career where you are, because it sounds like you already gave up your plans for a move once before, and doing it again could spark resentment.
