141 Words1 Page

My most critical moment of thinking came as I was deciding to leave Dallas and move to Philadelphia.
My husband received a lucrative job offer in Philadelphia right after our engagement and we both knew that a long distance relationship was not for us. He had finally found a good position in the Field that he was passionate about but he wouldn 't budge if I decided to stay in Dallas. Even though I had no desire to leave
Texas, I would never have wanted to be the one responsible for him giving up a wonderful opportunity. There where so many unknowns. I was so afraid at the thought of leaving my family and friends behind. I had never traveled outside of Texas.
In the end, I decided to follow love and after 12 years and 3 kids there are no regrets.
