I posted about two weeks ago that we were planning to move to my hometown of Kingston, Tennessee. Those of you in the car business understand that you can be relocated at anytime without notice, but we had previously been told that we would be at a dealership in Knoxville, Tennessee - however those plans have now changed.
We also went to the doctor last week expecting the worst, but hoping for the best. My new doctor is in Knoxville and after one visit, I will have to find a new doctor in another area. Again, life just happens. The doctor ran extensive testing and believes that I am having complications due to PCOS. The bad news is that I will probably have to have surgery and/or go on meds for the rest of my life. The good news is that this doctor believes there is a good chance that I will get pregnant and that she has found a medicine that should help me stay pregnant. That pretty much made my week!
Today is my husband's birthday (post to come) and also his first day as GM of Victory Pre-Owned in Pikeville, Tennessee. You can check out the dealership on the website here - http://www.victorypikeville.com/
It seems to be a beautiful area, but even farther from my dad and grandparents. We also do not know anyone who lives there and the kids were hoping to get to move close to their grandfather. I decided when I found out about this move that I was going to just focus on the positives instead of crying about missing home...This is a wonderful opportunity for my husband to move up in the management world. This will be HIS dealership. He will control all aspects of how it is run and he will have about 10 people working under him. This can give him major recognition in the business.
My kids can live in a safer, more laid back neighborhood. This is a SMALL town with a low crime rate and a very neighborly atmosphere. They can even choose to ride the bus to the dealership instead of home if they choose to.
We can get a fresh start for our family. Since we have been married, we have either lived in my hometown or my husband's. This gives us the change to make new friends and depend more on each other.
I will have the opportunity to work and help as well. I can either choose to stay at home and further my Interior Design career OR I could possibly help out at the dealership so that I could be around my husband more.
DJ will have better hours overall. Although he will be responsible for more, this dealership is actually closed more than the one he is at now. We are hoping this means more family time!
God put a need on our heart to get a fresh start. He had been speaking to both of us for months about moving somewhere and starting over. I truly feel that this is exactly what we needed and I look forward to seeing what the future holds.
I should change the name of the blog from "Life in the FAB Lane" to "Life In The FAST Lane" but we are so blessed and thankful to have this opportunity!
