Things are happening so fast I can barely keep up.
First, I did close my store. It was a hard decision and an even harder process, but it was without a doubt the right decision. I could not get my heart back in it after the cancer. I just couldn't bring myself to care about matching ribbon color as much as I needed to.
I promised Mr. Eckhoff that I would give myself a year to heal. We both believe the constant stress really kept me from fully and truly getting better. Now instead of business cards for wedding planner I am going to have cards made up for "super mom"! It sounds cheesy and I don't care because I am loving it! I was in the doctor's waiting room recently and found myself taking pictures of recipes from a magazine there. I found myself so dang excited about the new cheeseburger pizza I was going to make that weekend! I am just asking my friends to please be on the look out for mom jeans and sweat suits. I am so immersed I really cant be held responsible. Maybe one of the biggest changes is me?
Second, Right after we started the process to close my store front Chris was approached for another job opportunity. I never thought anything would come of it but I was wrong. He took the new job, which puts us in a new area. Looks like we are moving to Detroit Lakes. Again, hard decision and I think the process of leaving the area will be hard but we both believe it's the right decision for our family. Not a lot said about this but I am still processing this change.
Third, how do I throw in here that in Rochester last week I had to get another biopsy and we are waiting for the results? Mr.Eckhoff refuses to play the WHAT IF game with me so I am trying not to think about it. With that said I am just going to get up and bake some muffins, plan the menu for the rest of the week, do some laundry, give the dog a bath, re-arrange my closet, sew something...just not think about it.
How did the muffins and pizza turn out?
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of changes, fast! However, I'm happy about Detroit Lakes, you will be closer to Fargo!!!!!
OK, the "Third" comment prompted a phone call, I got social butterfly voice mail. Do you have a different cell number? I want to know what is going on with this additional biopsy!!!!
I've been delaying my mamogram because I'm tired of doctors, I just moved it to the top of the list!
So sorry you are going through all of this, but it does sound like it started a chain of events that is driving down a new path closer to home and allowing you the freedom to make this choice with Chris. Hang in there girl, change can be a lot of fun, keep baking, it helps!
