"I could have danced all night"

I woke up feeling so light and unburdened because of Big A's job moving back to Michigan. And I've been dancing on air all day.

Big A started doing the budget and has been very gloom and doom, but nothing will bring me down. Financially speaking, we were not where we're expected to be before, and we won't be there now... or for a long time--but those precise details won't really impinge on our daily life and happiness.

I understand the money worries. We've had a lot of expenses recently (new roof, I'm looking at you) and my mom wants us to come out west this summer and I don't know how we're going to swing it, but I don't want to say no because we live on opposite coasts and she's almost 80 and I don't see her that often.

I'm so happy he's back - I'm sure the joy of having everyone in one place will help alleviate the financials a little. I hope anyway!

Thank you, Sarah, NGS, and Gillian!

StephLove--sometimes the similarities between us make me smile even though the circumstances don't 🤗. Our roof repairs did us in this year for sure. And now that I have my travel papers, I'm planning an India trip and feel I should take the kids since my parents are getting on in years and can't travel here as they used to. But that's a lot of $$$.

Nicole, thank you. I assumed it would work out that way too, but it doesn't... And I don't care. Knowing things could be much worse helps, I guess. 🙃
