Surviving & Thriving

[sandycay]

I assume that your plans of moving back to Florida are out the window now that FFG is in the picture. Being a NW native, I am a bit biased and cannot imagine living anywhere else (well maybe Alaska or Hawaii).

Ah Kerry, nothing goes unnoticed by you does it? I don't know frankly what to do. I have S who will be a junior, we ARE able to stay in the house,and to be honest too FFG does throw a wrench into it all. My kids don't want to go to Florida, but I could make them of course. It's a hard one, but I know I can always move once the kids get grown.

I hate to make a life decision based on someone else. He obviously does not want me to go. I don't want to leave him, really. I do love Florida, but here he is native to the PNW and his family and kids are here. There is talk of future plans but nothing anytime soon. I will not marry someone again until I am finished with school and employable. Because to be married again would mean my maintenance support would go away, I would have to sell the house, and what IF he turned out to be a loser.(wonder if that will ever go away)... then the kids and I would have nothing. So, I will not jepordize my children that way.

I have five years of maintenance support to become employable so I will use it wisely and if I become employable by year 3 then I will bank the money for the kids college and suprise ExH. That way we won't be so in the hole for their tuition.

I'm not looking into the future, I am enjoying today because today is happiness. I can't change the future so why ruin a happy day in front of me worrying about it. I guess if the timing was right to move to FL I would feel it and do it. I may have to just vacation there or somewhere similiar.
