Big Changes

It has been a while since I posted an update, but things have been pretty hectic around here!  Three weeks ago Jason drove to Arkansas on a Wednesday for a job interview, Thursday morning he got a phone call with a job offer and accepted the job, Thursday afternoon I flew to Tulsa and Jason drove two hours to pick me up, and then we spent all day Friday searching for a place to live.  On Saturday we drove back to Illinois and started preparing for  our big move!  Last weekend we finished packing and with the help of our friends loaded up our moving truck and moved to Arkansas.  Monday we signed a lease and 45 minutes later our movers arrived to unload the truck.  We spent the entire week trying to get out new home set up.  Last night we drove back to Illinois and I turned in my resignation letter.  This morning we went out for brunch and said our goodbyes and Jason hit the road to head back to Arkansas.

Jason will start his new job on Monday morning and I will stay in Illinois long enough to finish school and then I will be joining him in Arkansas.  We will only be apart for 1 month and 3 days, but so far it has been 2 1/2 hours and I already miss him more than anything!  I am trying to stay positive, because I know it could be much worse, but for us this was a shock.  I thought it was hard when he worked overnight once or twice a quarter!
