New Definition, New Decision

New definition of a great friend -- someone who, in the face of danger, uses the strongest safety mechanisim that God created, "the mom arm" to save your live. Thanks Sal! :)

Chad got a call today from CMC, Charlotte Medical Center. It's one if the biggest hospitals around, and where he really really wants to work when we move. It's so big for us! I am anxious to hear what he gets from them for an offer. So, after thinking and thinking, and rolling around ideas and what not in our heads, this is what we have decided to do. I want, first and foremost, to be living in South Carolina with my Mom, my sister Melis, and of course Chad and the kids. That really is the most important thing to me. I am going to go to my medical evaluation, interview, drug test, etc with the FAA next week in New York. The whole process of getting a job with them has consumed most of the past year of my life. From the beginning, I have always said that I just wanted to see what would happen, honestly not thinking I would ever make it as far as I have. If they offer me a position, I will be very happy, but if the position is not in Charlotte, I am going to decline the position. I will still be eligble to take a job with them if a position in Charlotte becomes available. It's hard to make some choices in life, and sometimes I miss when your parents did it for you. The fact of the matter is that now matter how many problems my mother and I have had in our relationship in life, I still love her unconditionally and I really miss her. I hope that I have a ton more years with her around, but you just don't know. I lost my dad way to early, and I regret so many things about my life with him. I don't want anything to happen to my mother and realize that I chose a job over time with her. A job is just a job, but my mom is the reason I am here and over the past couple of years she is one of the reasons I haven't starved. I really owe it to my mom to get my head out of my ass and fix my life, so I can then take care of her for a change. So, this is it..... we are officially, with out a doubt, out of Connecticut! We are planning to be gone by the 2nd week of August! I will miss you all terribly, and please visit us in Fort Mill, South Carolina!!!
