21 days left...

until I move to Charlotte. I am very nervous...yet excited.
PROS:
* I get to work with a Guy who seems to really care about the business(unlike people I have worked with in the recent past), and his career with the company we work for. Therefore, we are really successful!
* I get to move back to a big city, where you don't know everyone...I can't go to the grocery store or the gas station here without running into at least 2 people I know.
* The opportunities for Koby are so much better. He won't be going to schools where he is the "guinea pig" for inclusion...or just not given opportunities at all. Hey, maybe there will even be a teacher in the school that knows some ASL...I am sure he would appreciate that!
*Chris and I will have so much more opportunity there for growth...business wise. In the industry we work in, Myrtle Beach is a starting place....not an ending place!

CONS:
* We have to start over....we have a house we like, and are very settled here.
* We are moving away from most of our parents....we won't have family babysitters really anymore!
* We are taking a risk of living apart for a few weeks! I am going ahead of Chris and Koby....get settled in my job find a daycare and school for Koby, and a house for us! It will be interesting in a city I am not very familiar with! I hope I can make it!!

Overall, we are excited....and it will be a challenge...but anything worth having is worth fighting for!-Courtney

Charlotte is a wonderful city. I live in Lincolnton which is about 40 miles northwest of Charlotte. I hope your move goes well and you find a fantastic school for your son!
