Life inside the perimetre highway
I suppose considering I've mentioned it on bookface, Jamie mentioned it in her blog (we some of the same readers), we've told family, friends and a few random strangers and we've both given our notice at work I should probably blog about it.
John and I are moving.
Not to Switzerland. To Winnipeg. However, if we do suddenly hear from them we will be going there. We're packing our stuff anyway, the stuff would just be going overseas. We're here until the end of the month. My office closes for the summer on the 26th and I wasn't going to be working here again until the fall so it works out okay but I still feel absolutely terrible about. Just terrible. I love this job. I love these peopel and I love this organization and everything it stands for. Needless to say I called John in tears after I spoke with our chapter president. It's very hard not to totally resent him right now. Very hard. But this is all for the best right? Winnipeg is a far bigger market for what I want to do in my career. We'll be closer to family. We'll live in a city that actually has arts and culture and we won't have to drive two hours for concerts. It's all very good and we won't miss Brandon. But we will miss people....lots of people. The reason we're leaving is that John was offered a position with a company that does software deployments for credit unions. It's far more in line with what John wants to do in his career. Right now at work he's doing stuff that nothing do to with what he was hired to do. The stress of the job got to the point where John's blood pressure was through the roof and mentally he was burnt out. He was not my husband anymore because of this. Add to this there was personal stress due to his dads recent heart attack. So John officially resigned yesterday and I resigned today.
So yeah, now you know, we're Winnipeg bound at the end of the month.
This is stressful and scary and exciting and overwhelming.

Yes, I saw it mentioned in Jamie's blog and I immediately went back and read through your posts to see if you had said anything.
Congratulations on his new job--and for positive changes that are good for you both. This is awesome. But I can see how scary it might be, and leaving friends is always hard. Good luck finding a new job in your new town.
Sending good thoughts and packing tape your way.....
I get the not my husband anymore part... hugs! here's to brighter beginnings!
Somehow, i knew you'd be the one to tell me the difference between duck tape and duct tape. :) what would I do without you?
