... If I stay there will be trouble, if I leave there will be double...
Hello all, Amber here. We have exciting news! Adam was offered a lead technician position with Stone Security for the summer. This is the same company we've gone out with the last two summers. First to Denver, and last summer to Philly. This summer, the crew Adam will be managing will be going to San Jose California.
In addition to this summer in San Jose, Adam will be spending 5 weeks in Russia for a study abroad sponsored by the University of Utah. Woot!
So the question is... Do I stay or do I go. I have been debating whether I will go with Adam or not. Don't get me wrong, I love my husband more than anything, and it kills me to think of spending 4 months away from him. But of course there are outside factors...
If I go I will have to quit my job; which begs the question, will I be able to find one when I get to Cali, and more important will I be able to find one when I get back to salt lake? Also we will lose health coverage, won't have someone to watch our apartment, probably won't make as much money (I don't think I'd be able to find a real high-paying short term job), and it overall seems kinda like a compulsive illogical choice.
If I stay we'll have the benefit of two larger incomes, I'll be able to take care of our apartment, keep my job, etc...
Of course there are other factors. Adam will be working long hours some days (8am - 11pm), so I may not see him much there anyway. Plus his study abroad is right smack in the middle of the summer with a month and a half before, and a month and a half after. So do I want to be in cali or utah when he's gone? Also, I have AMAZING networking opportunities at my current job, so it would be beneficial in the end to stay there.
And then again, I feel so sad thinking about being away from Adam for the summer, and part of me feels like I should take this opportunity to live life to the fullest and have an adventure in San Jose just like we did in Denver and Philly. My very wise coworker brought up the point that this could be our last chance to live someplace else for a few months like this.
Do I put my family first and go, or do I put money first and stay. I wish it was as simple as that....
Any suggestions, observations, comments??
If it is that very last question that decides... it is pretty obvious I think! I personally could never be without my hubby for that long!
