a step in...a direction
Who knows if it's the right one? The husband has a new job location to start in four weeks. The good news is that it's not extremely far from school--it's a long commute but not unthinkable--and it's close enough to home that he can commute for a while if we haven't moved by the time he starts. Now we need to find a place to live and a school for Rebekah. But first I have to finish this darned essay.

Why in the world did I think when I was younger that when I "grew up" decisions like these would be easy? That my life would just flow and things would go smoothly all the time? I still feel like I'm not grown up yet and I'm sure you have that feeling too. We're planning on moving again in the fall (which is probably the equivalent of your moving once per year), so I can feel your pain. Although, I don't have a two-year-old, a newborn, and a dissertation to finish. You need prayer, girl, and I'll be keeping you in mine.
So glad to hear there's an actual target place for moving, though I'm sorry that it will still involve a commute for you. Hang in there with the essay. I'm sure it will be fabulous and brilliant, both of which you are as well :)
I'm glad you have some idea of where you'll be. I hate dealing with that uncertainty myself, so I can only imagine how you feel. I hope this will make the hubby happier, which will in turn make you life easier.
Just out of curiosity, how long is a "long commute" for you to your school? I am starting my PhD work in the fall at a school that is an hour away from my home. Is this an insane amount to drive? Should we just move, in your opinion? My argument for staying put is I'm right near my sister = free babysitting one day!
Love your blog.
It depends on how much you like to drive. When you're taking classes, you'll have to make that drive almost every day. I'm doing most of my work from home, so I only have to drive once a week. There are definite advantages to living close to school. Driving saps your time and energy and living out of town keeps you distant from the community of students that can support you. I don't know your whole situation, but if being close to your sister is the only reason for staying, it might not be enough. But when you have a kid, it is important to have some kind of support network, whether that is friends, family, church, or whatever. When you move you have to seek that out and build it up.
Thanks so much, Sarah!
Cool story as for me. I'd like to read a bit more concerning that matter. Thnx for posting this info.
