Greetings everyone, I was just sharing a few things with a friend here on DS and it hit me how many things are going on in my life this coming week. I am feeling a little overwhelmed actually and I think maybe writing it all down, getting it out of me and on to paper so to speak might help alleviate some of the anxiety that seems to be building up. And man is it ever building up!Wayne and I took a trip last week up to Greenville, MS to check out a new casino called Harlow's that is being built. Two people in my life that are very special to us are highly involved with this new facility. While we were there we went to lunch and it was really nice to get out of the house. I don't do that ofen, well, not at all actually. While we were at lunch Papa Jim asked us if there was a possibility we would concider moving up there and helping to open the new casino. WOW! We tossed it around for a few days and decided that maybe it was time for a change in our lives. Maybe we had been here long enough (11yrs) in Vicksburg.Well, we were both hired yesterday, Wayne in IT and me in Table games. It is a lateral move for me but I can handle that. It is a huge step up for my husband, and he is so excited to be leaving here, he hates it here actually. Eventually I hope to move up the management ladder, it's one of the biggest reasons I have for leaving here. No way to move up in the company I am with now. Monday the 24th will be our 17th anniversary. That makes me cry, MayLyn loved anniversaries the most. She would always tell me how lucky I was to find her Daddy and how she wanted that more than anything, to find the love of her life and be together with them forever. I miss her so much, she would have been very proud of the decisions we have made this past week, and just as excited to go. I cannot wait to tell them at work that I have decided on a new path in my career. Of course they won't be so happy, who's gonna do all of their grunt work now? HAH! I know they can tell something is in the air, I have been getting the cold shoulder from my immediate bosses, and oh Lord am I loving it!!! If they don't talk to me then they don't ask me for anything, and I am really good with that.So Tuesday we are going back up to Greenville to fill out all the paperwork and look for a home to buy. Should be fun, then I am going to pack all the clothes I think I will need and some pictures to share. Mostly I guess I will be sharing from my heart for the most part. I don't have a clue what it will be like to actually have other people face to face to talk to about this. I do look forward to coming, just really scared. But I do feel better now. Thanks for listening as always.Love Always, Jacqueline PLH MayLyn's Momma

I think the change will do you some good. We moved after Joe went to heaven. It is in the same town. It was planned before he passed. I think that if I stayed in the same house Joe grow up in I would have lost my mind. It is going to be very exciting for you. Good Luck and I hope you love your new job. Now look closely at your bosses face when you tell him bye. HUGS....love lucille
