I Need Knottie Vibes

My boss came by the office a few minutes ago to tell me that the company that we partner with wants me to move to Houston ASAP.  They need an answer by Friday!!  I have no clue what I want to do and DH is pissed because he feels like we are going to get screwed.  Not to mention we are uprooting our family and we are really close to my immediate family.  I may be wrong but either I go or I may not have a job. I want to cry!!!!

    In this situation, I feel like only you and DH can decide what is best for your family.  Pray about it, weigh the pros and cons of the moving versus staying and I hope it all works out for you.  Good luck and I will keep you in my prayers.

    Sending Knottie Vibes your way. Don't cry. Just pray about it and God will lead you in the right direction. I stay in Houston its a great city to live in. It might be a great change who knows. Just pray and let God have his way.

    Have you talked it over with your boss to see what kind of assurances you'll get if you move? Are they offering incentives to make it worth your while? Is this a good career move for you? I'd talk to the people who want you in Houston and ask until Monday to make your decision. Talk it over with your FI sometimes a big change can be a good thing. I wish you the best.

    woo, woo, woo (((patting you on the back))) = BREATHE GIRL, BREATHE!!!...everyone has provided you with excellent advice already and me personally I believe crying is essential to purging your soul (that's just me, I'm emotional)...but after you finish getting that out of your system take on the task of being keen on finding out as much as you can regarding this "buy out" as suggested by OFF, then talk it all over with your hubby and lastly give it to God to show you the way...once you get some answers to your very important and well deserved questions, then you and DH will be able to make an informed decision on which path to take....HTH!!!  {{{big ol' knottie hug}}}

    Do what is best for your family. Weigh your options, write down the pros and cons and pray. I wish you luck in making your decision

    Pray first, then go to your boss and ask for some guarantees in writing that if you move, you will still have employment. You have an advantage because it is very expensive to train a new employee. If this is a lateral move for the company and for you, they should be willing to listen.....and do lots of research about the area and other companies that may need your skill set just in case things do not work out.Change your outlook, your outlook changes.

    Ditto to what everyone has said.    This has to be a joint decision between you and your DH.   Pray about it and get the facts in writing before making any decisions.   In the meantime, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU....THATS A TOUGH DECISION TO MAKE ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU ARE CLOSE TO YOUR FAMILY..HOW FAR WOULD THE MOVE BE? MAYBE IT CAN BE A NICE ROAD TRIP FOR THE FAM WHEN YOU NEED SOME TIME TO GET AWAY~!

    Wow ! That's a tough decision and it seems really unfair that your boss could ask that of you and give you such a short amount of time to make that kind of decision. I'm sure whatever decision you make will be the right one. Just trust that things will work out as they should.

    Thanks Ladies for your prayers and very good advice.  I have been praying about it and I talked to DH and he is pissed.  But it looks like we might be going.  I told my family and they are not too sure. So I am emailing the president of the company today so that we can setup a meeting. Funny thing is now my sister and her BF and my MOM are talking about transferring their jobs to Houston if need be.  LOL Too Funny!God is GREAT!
