Have you ever made the choice to live apart from you partner? Regardless what the reason may be? Husband Person and I lived apart from one another for a good portion of our marriage. First being him landing a internship soon after we got hitched that took him to Boston for the summer, then about 2 weeks before he was to return I landed a job to work on an excavation at Teotihuacan Mexico. Lets just say it took me to get knocked up with our little man for us to stay in the same zip code. We're now happy and content and love have time together... But thats all about to change again.
You see my hubs is a man on mission! His mission is to change education here in this land we call America. He's a Charter School guy and believes that we should expect more from not just students, but from teachers, parents, and well everyone! The catch is this, we now live in Kentucky which is 1 out the 10 states who do not have Charters. I don't know why these 10 states think they are the Devil but they do. Apparently the other 40 state have caught on that its okay to have other options in education to offer their citizens.
This takes me to my point. Finally I know... Husband Person and I have been busy going back forth from Louisville to Nashville because he has taken the job as a Charter School Administrator. The catch being the school is a failing metro school and he has the task of turning the school around. Talk about daunting.
We move him into his small apartment away from me and the kiddo next week, then the following week is Thanksgiving . Boy oh boy do we have a lot to be thankful for. But this transition of him working in Nashville and me and little man being in Louisville is going to be tough. But we will make the best of it and we'll make it work. I'm scared and worried, yet proud and elated all at the same time. I know that in the beginning its going to be difficult because we're both going to be so worried about one another. But most of all we'll worry about how our son will handle it. Him driving home on the weekends, me driving there some of the week. All while he tries his damnedest to get this school turned around, and I try to get into a graduate program.
We'll trudge through like we always do, and with the support of our friends, family and most of all each other... Its going to be... Okay.
