We have been talking about this for awhile, even before I got pregnant.
T liked his job here, but he wanted to try something different.
We talked and prayed about it for a long time.
Over a year.
T moved down here for me.
He supported me both financially and emotionally while I finished school.
He even let me get a job here and begin my teaching career.
He sacrificed so much for me.
After all the talks and prayers, we received our answer.
It was now his turn.
T has a buddy that's a manager of an oil company out in Wyoming.
At one point, this buddy called T and told him if he ever wanted a job, there would be one waiting for him there.
Around mid-April, he drove up to this area of Wyoming to see if he actually could get a job.
He got hired the minute he walked into his buddy's office.
We took it as a sign.
For the past two and a half weeks, T has been working the oil field.
It's been rough on both of us, but we both feel like we're supposed to do this.
For the time being, T is living with his brother, who also lives/works out there.
Facts about our new home:
Town: Big Piney
Population: 400
Surrounding Areas: Nearest Wal-Mart? 2 hours,
nearest airport? 3 hours,
Jackson Hole? 1 hour
Points of Interest: grocery store also doubles as a gas station
Nickname: The Icebox Capital of the World
T has maybe found a place for us.
(I don't want to jinx it) We might even have a washer and dryer!
There are a kaleidoscope of feelings going through me right now.
For better or for worse: it will definitely be an adventure.
On a sadder note, my mom is leaving for 2 1/2 months.
To India.
One Word: Stink!

WOW!!! I'm so excited for you and jealous of the beautiful place you'll be living. Congrats you guys!
It sounds like an adventure! I love those! You will do great no matter where you go! Good luck, and keep the blog updated! Let us know if you need help packing or anything!
Just think, you and T will be able to be together and that is what matters most. Sometimes I think in a marriage you need to be challenged. Who knows you might LOVE WY! :)
I was talking to your mom about you guys moving on Sunday....that is SUCH a big change! By the stats, it sounds like it will be a culture shock out there! Will you still work then (at the k-5 school?) or stay home with baby J? Good luck! It ought to be an adventure for sure!
