OT I'm freaking out here
I need prayers or something. I really am freaking out here. My fiancée and I are getting married August 8th. Lately I have been stressed with all the planning and what not which is totally normal... once I have more set in stone I will be fine lol. But last night Brad dropped a major bomb. We might move to Alaska... WTF?!? He was married before and has 2 kids. I love his kids and he is a great dad who spends as much time as possible with them. But his ex told him that her new husband has a job offer in Alaska and that he is considering it and they might be moving up there by the end of the summer. I'm in school for elementary ed and I only have 3ish semesters left... I dont know what the programs are like in Alaska, if we will be near a college, If I will be accepted to a program quickly enough to enroll in the fall etc. Plus my job, family, and friends are all here. His job is here, his family is only a few hours away and his job is here... Neither of us have any desire to move to Alaska. I thought it was going to be tough movin in with him an hour away from my friends and family but now thinking about the physical distance between IL and Alaska?!? I am freaking out to put it lightly. I don't know how I am going to manage if I have to move to Alaska. He can't be away from his kids and I totally understand that but I really really don't know if I can manage Alaska... The possibility has my head in a spin and I spent most of last night freaking out and crying. All I want to do is drown my sorrows in an exorbitant amount of food that I cant eat... Something to numb out for a minute... and knowing that I can't really sucks! Please pray that the offer falls through or that he doesn't accept... Something so that we dont end up in Alaska. Thanks!
LOL..Hello...ALASKA ROCKS. Theres no place like it let me tell you. And the people here are awesome. There is so many rumors going around about Alaska...Its not THAT bad here. It gets just a little bit colder than it does in other states....(Depending on where you are of coarse!) Anyway. Im praying for you girl. Dont stress yourself out, you'll make it harder.
Is there anything said in the custody agreement that says you can't move the kids so many miles away from the other parent? I have a friend who is divorced and she can't move more than 50 miles away from her ex ~ however, since she has the kids more it's her that can't move but if he does, that's ok...it's weird.
I would check into that because sometimes you can't just up and move away from the other custodial parent and if they try you can take them to family court.
Good luck and I will pray that you get to stay!

I understand that but - would you have picked up your entire life and moved to a remote location with someone you have known for 2 months? Be totally isolated from your family?
Personal question -how long were you engaged for? Her wedding is set for August so that is knowing him for less than 4 months and getting married. Yes I am being judgmental but her previous posts make me this way!
I do understand the possibility of finding Mr right and getting married on a whim but I could never leave everyone and everything I know for someone I barely know!!
