My husband and I have been TOGETHER since April, but married since the end of May. We are expecting a baby by the end of March. Since we have been married, we have been living in Mississippi, where economy SUCKS. Absolutely no jobs around here. He's originally from Texas and he LOVES roughnecking. He's worked for Big Dog, Halliburton, and a few others. He's tried talking me into going back to Texas with him, and he's sooo sweet because every time, he gives up the argument for me. Thing is, I would love to. BUT, then I start thinking about my family here and my baby girl.. I really don't want her to grow up without her family in her life! And, I'm terrified that we're going to get out there and wind up stranded with the hopes of him finding a job. Either that, or when they lay off AGAIN, we'll have nowhere to go!! Someone PLEASE tell me. What do I do in this situation?! I want to make this major sacrifice for MY little family, but I am so scared!

You can't let them hold you back..I understand where your coming from. I've been there several times, but you have to do what's best for you and your family. They're not the ones taking care of you and your lil girl your husband is and if him moving away to get a job to better you and your daughter then I'd go with him. You have to support him, it'll be difficult but you can always visit them. Have faith, it'll all work out. Pray about the situation before making a decision. :) I'm here if you need me.

Yes, we've talked about going and doing interviews and looking around. He has friends out there, not really any family. My Mom makes it hard for me to go by telling me that me and my little girl will be a part of her past and telling me that my grandfather is close to passing and it would rip his heart out. I've always been a softy when it comes to hurting family and she uses that to her full advantage.

I would have him line up some interviews out there then when he goes you can with him and look around get to know the location. Does he have family out there? Your family will always help I'm sure of it! Put back enough money if you guys to go out to texas that if something happens you can get back to your family..Always have money put away for emergencies! I say go for it! :) good luck!

look upon it as a new adventure, go with an open mind all should be good. Your family will always be there no matter where you live they will always love and support you. Just take a leap of faith.
