New jobs and other scary things

So after much thought, discussion, and prayer, we decided it was time for Mr. Perfect to leave the seemingly secure position at an established structural engineering firm and start working with a couple of friends who are starting their own firm. Over the past couple of years, he has realized his love of marketing and owning, and he joins this new firm with the firm (pun intended) goal of becoming a partner...soon...like within the next two years.

It takes a lot of faith to make such a move, especially in this economic climate. And while logic tells us that we should be somewhat terrified about all of this, there is such a feeling of calm and rightness that when we talk about the possible downsides, we smile and know that whatever happens, this was still the correct decision.

Now, if only I could stop working...*sigh*

That is so exciting...but scary too. Whatever happens it will be great.
Is good luck an appropriate thing to say right now?
Say hi to Mr. Perfect for me. :)

Wow, I would be scared to death. So nice to have the spirit and the peace that it brings with it. Tell Mr. Perfect to break a leg at his new comp. WHAHOO!
