It's frustrating to have it always be about his job. I'm happy to hear he's taking your opinion into account, but I'm sorry y'all are dealing with this decision right before you are set to leave.

I think the not knowing would be more difficult for me in some ways, not being able to plan for getting your job back/throwing yourself into something new/preparing to move/preparing to stay in Alaska would just drive me crazy! I hope you find out what's happening soon, and that no matter what it is that it's a positive experience for both you and Scott.

Don't know what else to say other than I'm praying for you guys, praying for what's best. If nothing else, that comfort in knowing that, worst case scenario if you have to stay in Alaska, you'd be TOGETHER.
