Sometimes it's hard being a father

My wife and I always said we would make decisions together, but that the final "big" decisions would all be left to me ( i.e., buying a house or car). Well, I made a decision recently to move us - from Mobile, AL, to Seattle, WA.

Of course we discussed it at length. We figured out the finances and got leads for jobs. I did as much as I could here. Now it's time to leave.

This is the hard part. We are going to spend some time apart. She'll have family near. It's not me, but it's family. I will be alone, a 40 hour ride from my nearest family. It's a bit scary.

But the benefits out way the risks. This will be the best thing for all of us and I am looking forward to the new challenges.

I started a separate blog to kind of chronicle the adventure (http://seattlebound2012.blogspot.com). If you're interested, please follow.
