(You know the conversation – This is true, but then again, this is also true.)
We are tired of Chetek and ready for a change, but then again our kids might miss being able to go back to the town where they went to school and had all their friends, but then again none of the kids seem to enjoy being in Chetek all that much (other than being with Mom and Dad) and don’t really have any close friends left here, but then again, we have so much of our history here.
I love my job, but then again it is getting a tad boring because I’ve fixed everything I saw that needed fixing or that anyone saw that needed fixing, but then again everything I built might fall to pieces without me holding it together (who’s the egotist now?), but then again would I really care if I wasn’t still here?
Dad loves his job, but then again it didn’t really turn out to be quite what he expected (lots of giving shots, lots and lots and lots of giving shots), but then again it is a secure job, but then again, do we want to settle for just security when we are only 59 and have our best money making years ahead of us, but then again, is it really all about the money, but then again, isn’t it, when you are this close to retirement?
The Twin Cities area has a lot going on, but then again you pay for it in higher home prices, but then again, could we be closer and still in Wisconsin where the prices are a tad lower?
Moving when you’ve lived in a community for over 25 years is hard, but then again moving closer to grandchildren is really, really good, but then again those grandchildren will grow up and leave home, but then again we would still be closer to their parents – our kids – when we get really old (I know – that is a long, long, long, long, long time from now!) and we would be settled in that community by then.
Sameness is secure, but then again sameness can be boring. Change is scary, but then again change can be invigorating and exciting.
We are planning to move to Prescott, WI as soon as we find a house and Don finds a job. Please pray that God opens doors if this is what He wants and that if it isn’t what He wants, He makes it very clear to us.
Prescott looks cute!
I might be strange in that I don’t feel tied to a location but instead to the people who are there. So no matter where you live, that’ll be Home. 🙂 Chetek was a nice place to grow up, but I obviously never make it back there. And the one or two times that I have in the last several years, it was just to go to your house and visit with you. I didn’t visit anyone else in town. I haven’t kept those connections.
And it is a little scary and exciting moving. We’re still in the process of figuring out how to move to somewhere in the mountains and it’s exciting to think about! But terrifying a little in how much we need to do before we can do that and all the work that’s going to be involved.
You are in my prayers!!
I love you!

Prescott is VERY cute! It has so many things that Chetek doesn’t have that I can’t even start to explain them all. And I was hoping you all felt like that about where we live and about Chetek and so on. You all seem to come to visit us rather than the place, which makes it a lot easier to decide to move.
Love,
Mom
