Time is Ticking

I am not sure where to begin, the last 12 hours has been a blur. So on a happy note...it is official, I am moving back to Arizona! No, I didn't find a job yet (if anyone has one for a marketing/management major I would be grateful) but my boyfriend took a border patrol agent job and it becomes official as of tomorrow. I guess the process has taken so long I didn't ever expect it to happen. Time goes on as does your life and you forget about it. Then I had also had thought if they do offer the job to him we will have some time to figure things out. HAHA, yeah right!
So we had one night to decide if he should accept the job or not and if so he has ONLY two weeks to get his life organized to leave for training in New Mexico on September 28 until the middle of December. TWO weeks!!! Holy Molly this might be the most stressful, scary and overwhelming thing I have ever had to deal with in my short little life as an adult. So far I am not sure I like this adult thing and would gladly pay someone to make decisions for me. Stress, overwhelming thoughts about right or wrong, best vs. not is NOT very fun. I can't imagine what happens when you have kids to deal with as well! Anyway, to put it in an easy way here is a list of what is going to happen which, number one is the only thing we know! The rest is things we have to figure out. Oh God help me!

1. Ryan leaves in just two weeks for training in New Mexico.
We can't visit during the training so we will not see each other until the
middle of December!
2. We have to give a two month notice for our lease.
Stay or go we have to pay two months. So I am here for another two months all
on my own! I am stuborn and refuse to pay our landlords while not living here.
3. I have NO job as of this second and not a clue where to begin looking as you will
see in number 4 why.
4. We have not a clue where we will live when he gets out of training, actually we
have no clue on anything at the moment! Here are our options:
a. We both live in Ajo, AZ. Yes, I said Ajo! One of my options is to live
in a town that sounds like an abbreviated bad word! It is in the middle
of the desert, so that means the middle of no where. To give you an
idea, as of 2000 there were less than 4000 residents because it was an
old mining town and now is mostly a RETIRMENT community. There are NO
neighboring communites and has just ONE SMALL grocery store. They don't
even have a Wal-Mart or McDonalds! Every American town at least has
those! Yeah, that is what I thought. It has ONE Pizza Hut and ONE drive
through window (Dairy Queen). So I see myself being bored as dirt! Yes,
DIRT! But on the bright side I can tell people I
live in a town that means garlic! :( Oh come on, I am trying, I really am
trying to think possitive!
b. We both live in Tucson which is about an 1 hr 20 min from Ajo, just one
way. That is what the commute would be for Ry after 10-12 hour days.
Here at least I would be able to get a descent job,but the commute would
be hard for him and I would have to give up living in the town of garlic!
(eye roll)
c. We both live in the Phoenix area which is about a 2+ hour drive one way
which might just kill the one who is doing the commute everyday!
d. We live separately for a little while. He lives in Ajo and I in the
Phoenix area so I can get a decent job/career while he works on his. He
comes home on his off days. Doesn't sound too bad considering we
wouldn't see much of each other anyway with the long hours his first year
anyway. The downside is...
5. He has to keep this job for 1 1/2 years to pull ranks and is able to transfer to something else.
6. No negotiations on salary, it is what it is.
7. It is VERY dangerous and thanks to my mother I am a worrywart. The pay does NOT equal the danger of the job. Thank you US government for that.

So, that is just the surface of what is going on. Lucky you I didn't give details but we really don't know what the future holds. We don't have a clue if this is a good choice or the right one. We really don't know what is the next step. Those of you who know me know I like organization when it comes to life, HATE major changes and like a detailed, concrete plan. I might just lose my sanity with this chapter in my life but other than that all is wonderful! Will keep the blogging world up to date and just have one question...
Seriously, who said being an adult was fun?
