Joe just set sail (okay, the car picked him up for the airport) for Bangalore, India. My mom thinks he's going to Bangladesh. We had a good laugh over that one. Looking for one last evening of sanity, we went to Northport Village last night and ate at Benkei, a great little Japanese spot. A bit lacking in ambience but the sushi is very good, I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10. We were able to speak freely without kids up the wazoo, and it was a solid conversation about the job prospect in Austin. I really wanted to get more discussion under our belt before Joe left for seven days. I'm so glad we did, I think talking speaking out loud and not just internally really helped Joe work through his likes and concerns. I'm trying not to come across as too eager but it's hard. I think this could be a great opportunity and I know, I know -- once I'm set on doing something, there's no turning me back. This would be a massive change to everything we know and I'm trying to check myself. I really am!!
When we got home last night at 10:15 we heard footsteps running from our room to the bathroom or something. Fully expecting Julianne to be the one awake, instead we found Shorty (James) looking like he was just caught with his hand in the cookie jar! It was very funny and very cute and I had to hide my amusement. After a lengthy bathroom visit we got him settled for the 3rd time and Joe followed up with his Austin connection. They spoke for a while and it went as I'd hoped. We are now one step closer to Austin.
I know that if we move, there will be major adjustments ahead for all of us. I know that I will probably be the one who has the biggest adjustment ahead, I just have a feeling. But I also think the pro's outweigh the cons in this case. And who isn't up for an adventure? Life isn't always written in stone. If we don't like it in 5 years, we come back.
