Here's the great news, The Hubby got a new job!
Phew,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, huge sigh of relief and a big jump for joy!
The not so great news is that it's in Northern California and we are currently staying with my family in Southern California.
Not having any income for seven months takes a pretty big hit on your savings, so it will be a while before we have enough for a down payment for a new house. So for now, the girls and I will stay put and The Hubby will get a small apartment close to his new office.
I think he is secretly pleased to have a quiet place to hang out without all the craziness that is life with a kindergartner and a preschooler. I know he will miss us and we will miss him too, but I'm a tiny bit jealous that he gets to sleep uninterrupted and watch whatever he wants on TV whenever he wants.
We haven't quite figured out how often we will get to see him yet, but that will come in time. That's the sucky part.
The good part is that it's a great job with a great company with lots of opportunity for growth in the future. The other good part is that we get to stay in California near our family which was something we didn't know if we would get to do.
Dealing with the loss of a child is never easy, but it's even more difficult when you are an expat living far from home. Life will never be "normal" again and so now the challenge is to find my new normal. I am now back in the USA and the proud parent of two daughters, born using two different egg donors. "Frostina" and "Olea" are the loves of my life and I feel so grateful for the amazing women who donated their eggs and made my family possible.
So glad to hear about your husband's new job. Hope you are all together again soon.
