Many of you know that my husband is working on his Master's degree. About the time he reached his half way mark towards completion he began looking for work in his field. During the job search we have had many discussions as to where to look. The local hospital went through a buy-out a couple of years ago which led to many middle managers being laid off. There is an abundance of medical professionals in our area, so that means we will be moving for new opportunities.
We discussed moving back east where my family is. The challenge with that is the big swing in the weather which would wreck havoc with my health. I have permanent health issues which at the moment have no cure. The weather affects it to a degree. One thing that would help this is more temperate weather. So we have decided to look for those areas that will benefit my health.
We have found a few areas which we would really like to go to. I particularly like an area that we have found in the past two weeks. So much so, that I have told my husband that if he doesn't find a job in that area and I do that we should move there any ways. It reminds me of where I grew up but it is in the west. This would allow my husband an opportunity that he has not had before. He would be able to finish out his education and his dissertation without the pressures of working full-time as well. I have watched for months now as he has worked his full-time job and has been working on school full-time. He has been doing it well but with so much more stress than needs be.
A quote from a friend on Facebook helped me to think this would be a great idea. The quote is; "Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own." I am in a position where I can offer my husband this opportunity. I know that I will not be able to offer this opportunity later in life, the doctors have been quite frank about what my future holds. My husband's happiness is very important to me. The upside is that it will benefit me as well. My health should improve some which will allow me to support my husband in his education.

I believe that my husband deserves to have someone show him love and support. I know of many who feel that school should be a priority and that one shouldn't have to work while going to school. I know I have never had that opportunity and neither has my husband, before now. I think my husband deserves to have that opportunity as well as anyone else. He has been hesitant to the idea, but I think he is starting to come to my way of thinking. He is finding that the people which were once the reason for him living in Chubbuck, ID no longer desire to have him be any part of their lives. So there isn't a reason why he shouldn't move.
I currently gross more than my husband so I think we can make this work. Now to hope and pray that I get one of the jobs I have applied for so we can go see this area in person.
So many decisions....
