Blown Up!

Have you ever wanted a do over?  To hit the reset button and change everything about yourself? 

My Texas life was pretty good.  My husband and I had fantastic jobs, a great home, close to friends and family.  Lots of cash.  Nothing to complain about.  Pretty much everything we should want.  We were coasting to retirement on cruise control.  But we weren't content.  Or challenged.  We wanted more.  We wanted an adventure.  We hit the reset button. 

My husband got a job in Arizona and everything changed over night.  Our house sold in a day and Odessa was in the rearview mirror before I could catch my breath.  Or process what had happened. 

Now I wonder - What were we thinking?!?!??!!!  Life was good.  And safe. 

Life now is uncharted.  Everything is unknown.  It's time to grow and there is a lot of pain attached to that. 

I see that it can be good.  Eventually better than what we had and where we were.  But there is risk.  And we are back at the starting line.  Granted we are more experienced and wiser - about some things.  But we left the safety net in Texas and the ground is far far below. 

So here I am.  Redefining who I am and what my role is in my family and just in life in general.  I'm freaked out! Hopefully when the dust settles I'm going to have learned and grown and will definitely have added to my life story. 

We took a risk.  It may not have been the smart play but it's what we did.  Let the Arizona chapter of our life begin!
