Moving right along

Over the weekend while I was sick a few things also came about. Saturday night my wife's sister and mother called us.

It turns out her mother is not as good as we thought. Her vision is getting worse, her eyesight is getting worse to the point she can no longer drive herself. She needs help taking care of her day to day activities. Bottom line they would like my wife to go out there for a few weeks and help her out.

My wife offered to do so weeks ago and her mother told her she doesn't need the help. Things have changed and her sister is working so she can't put her job on hold to take care of her mother, added to that she's a Muay Thai fighter so she is training ptractically on a daily basis. After discussion we decided maybe it's better if we were to move out there.

It would make taking care of her a bit better. There's not really much keeping us here, my sister and her kids are here but we don't see each other as much as we speak to each other on the phone. My wife doesn't speak to her half-sisters as much as she would like. The relationship between the sisters is strained really. However before we can think about going forward I think my wife has to concentrate on helping her mom, at the same time she can get a feel for Utah.

The way I see it, my wife is the more even tempered of the both of us, so if she can't handle things in Utah there's no chance that I could deal with it out there.

Right now my wife is set to fly out to Utah next week and she'll return, if she returns, in late January. Once my wife calls and gives me the word I will start packing things and arrange for a truck to ship our belongings to Utah.

I'll sell our co-op and then arrange for the transition between me and my replacement at work.

This is the biggest thing I've ever done in my life but if it makes our life better than we do what we have to do.
