New and Need Help Identifying a Shrub

I have this plant growing really close to my brick BBQ. I would not worry about it so much if I knew how big it would get. I would assume it is just a shrub of some sort, but it is growing out of a stump and I don't know what the stump was...
:?: Please Help :?:

Hi :D

Looks like a variegated euonymous. Not sure which one as there are several with white and green leaves. Could be 'Emerald Gaiety'.
It will get as big as you let it (as they are easily trimmed to keep them in check if neccessary) but without knowing which one it is exactly I can't tell you how big. If you do decide to keep it cut off the plain green piece. This is 'reverting' and if left the whole thing will slowly become plain green.

It is a variegated Pittosporum.

Do you know if it could be transplanted?

It looks like its a well established plant. It might be easier to go to your neighboorhood nursery and just buy a new one. They are relatively inexpensive. :)
