Preparing for change...

I don't know if I told most of you at the time, but about a year and half ago (January 2008) I felt like I was to spend the year preparing for change. Little did I know what that change would be... before I get you all excited, it is definitely not pregnancy. And although I'm in the beginning stages of wanting that to happen, at this point I'm not sure it's possible.
Back to the changes... This year (2009) has proved to be a year of change and continues to be. It's been a challenging year to say the least - so far, but mostly challenging in a good way. I'm feeling pretty introspective at the moment and seem to be rambling a bit cause I'm not really sure where to start.
It started off with a job change for me last November and I have finally made the complete transition from my high-paying, boring job, to the low-paying job that I LOVE. I'm baking and going to market for Stoltzfus Meats - a local company that is really just a joy to work for. The unfortunate part is that it's low-paying and between Aaron and I, we will be taking more than a $20,000 pay cut this year. Car sales haven't exactly been the best, but they have picked up quite a bit in the last couple of weeks thanks to our lovely government and the cash for clunkers program. On a side note... I don't really agree with this program at all, but I am thrilled that it's helping out our bank by allowing Aaron to sell more cars. And although this new found joy that I have with work is fantastic, we have had to REALLY adjust our lifestyle, which is definitely not a good time for any of us. It's been REALLY hard.
Next... I found out in March that I have a under-active thyroid and have been on meds ever since. I've never been one to take meds and I hate the fact that I have to be on them, but for several months I was not myself (unmotivated, depressed, unfocused, etc...) and I must say, the meds are definitely helping with that. I've been feeling much better lately, but the other part of it is that I haven't had a cycle since December. I've been corresponding with my doctor and she seems to think its due to the thyroid issue, but I'm going in for blood test this week to see if the meds are working correctly... if they are, we will have to do an ultrasound to see if there is something else causing problems... I haven't had any other pain or symptoms, so I'm not too worried, but a little concerned.
And now... I'm faced with an opportunity to possibly take a management position with Stoltzfus Meats at their deli/cafe they are opening in Sept/Oct. My dilemma is this - do I take the job, the stress, and the money (which would also come with some really beneficial managerial experience for when I want to have my own place) or do I stay in the low-paying job that i LOVE (which comes with training in baking for the future bakery that I would love to one day own). I'm at a crossroads... The other factor is the fact that I would like to start a family in the next year or two... where does that fit in? Any thoughts/suggestions on what to do - I'm accepting all advise.
So that's where I'm at... just here, sorting through my thoughts.

On a side note... There is also a good possibility we will be getting a dog in October - a golden retriever - but that is also still up for debate.

Love you girls and thanks for letting me vent a bit. Your prayers, which I feel daily, are very much appreciated.
