Good, Bad, Ugly: An announcement.

by | Nov 20, 2012 | Throwback | 10 comments

I’ll say it.

There was never a better day for this little link up to make it’s debut.

the good, the bad, the ugly

THE GOOD: Mr. husband has been offered a schnazzy new job (I can’t say where until after the press conference.  That’ll be happening in the next week or so).

THE BAD: We have to move.  Away from Charlotte.  Like, pretty soon.

  

THE UGLY: My eyes are so swollen/puffy from crying so hard.  I’m extremely happy for Mr. Husband and this opportunity, but man.  Leaving Charlotte is going to be so dang hard.  Especially because we’ll be moving to the middle of nowhere, NC.

**disclaimer: I am sad about leaving Charlotte.  But I am not moving against my will.  I am fully supportive of my husband’s career and it comes with the territory of understanding that we’ll move frequently.  It just sucks that I got so attached to this city.

Bloggers: let me know if you live in or around the Raleigh area (Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay Varina, Garner, Clayton, etc) .  Meeting you might help take the edge off this move 😉

So my friend called me last week in a bit of a panic. Without really meaning to, she and her husband sold their house and bought a new one. I'd tell you the whole story about how someone randomly showed up on their doorstep putting in an offer on their house that...

  5. That's so exciting! I'll be moving to Chapel Hill in just a few short weeks once I finish my Masters to join my fiance. I lived up there this summer and it was wonderful!

  6. Well, I hate that you're moving away from Charlotte before we could become real life friends, but congratulations to your husband on his new job! 🙂 Moving is always hard, it's always bittersweet. Our move inspired the name of my blog…because I know we'll be moving around a lot and I know it'll probably always be hard. But you're strong and… just try to remember that your home is where your husband is – no matter how much you fall in love with a city. I'm here if you need me!

  10. Hey Joey!

    I just wanted to let you know that Myra and Sarah's linkup idea is NOT original. I have been hosting a GBU linkup since April, and these girls stole the idea from my cohost and I. We have addressed the issue with them and they refused to do anything about it.

    I figured you should know that before you choose to link up with them again.

My only hope is that while you’re here, you feel a sense of belonging, comfort and empowerment. Because life is too short to live it worried you’re not good enough.
