Waiting...waiting...waiting...

 I am not a patient person. At all.

When I get an idea in my head, I want to put it into action right away. This has landed me in some pretty silly predicaments and led to some truly heinous haircuts, but I still move forward. No matter how many times my hubby says 'Remember what happened last time?'

Oh, you be quiet. If I wanted to hear the voice of reason I'd call my mother.

So, here I sit again, waiting and waiting for one thing after another so we can move. I have never waited this long to move before. Ever. Seems like years I've been telling everyone "We're moving to Florida." And yet, I'm still in Texas. Damn that voice of reason...which is what Hubby has become. In my single days, a thought of "Hey, Aruba seems like a pretty place to live" would have been followed with a call to a travel agent and extensive Internet research. These days, since Hubby came along, I've been forced to put the brakes on more than an occasional idea. He'll listen intently but with a little smile playing on his lips, telling me he's not really taking this seriously.

"Yes, I'm serious, I want to skydive! There's a place in Bryan that does it." And this is met with a small smile and an "Okay, if that's what you want." And voila, I no longer want it. This man knows me better than I know myself.

But with moving to Florida, he wants it as much as I do, if not more. But he is also my voice of reason..."We have to save enough money and right now, our savings won't cover much beyond the move. And we should wait for the summer when Little Man is out of school."....Damn that voice of reason. I know he's right but that doesn't kill the urge to pack up and scram as soon as our circumstances wreak havoc on our sanity.

I really am thankful for him. If he hadn't been there to tell me to go ahead, I'd probably have a pink mohawk.

My advice?  Don't move to Florida unless you already have a job lined up.  I've lived here my entire life and I've been hunting for a job for almost a year now.
