Well we're movin on up



I haven't had much time to blog lately, we are in the process of moving out of our apartment. I hate this apartment, its so loud outside and out neighbors across the hall cook with so much curry and garlic I feel like I am in India. 

My husband and i are both form Mass, but four years ago after we were married we moved to North Carolina, we were happy there, but when we had our daughter we kinda got home sick so we moved back home last summer. We had a lovely three bedroom house and a huge yard and we left it all to come back here. The house actually belongs to my mother, she bought it when we originally decided to move to NC and when we left last summer she rented it to a deadbeat who is barely paying the rent. 

Around the first of the year we decided that we were going to move again, out apartment is too small and too expensive for a family of four. Anyone that knows this area knows how expensive it is, especially for a family just starting out.  We looked in Rhode Island, which isn't much better and then in Connecticut, but we don't know anyone there. The answer was staring us in the face, move back to NC.

Well my mother was happy, because she didn't have to worry about paying the mortgage on the house she was renting and when she retires next year she is moving to NC. But we weren't sure how my husbands family would react, they were so supportive with us moving back, we knew it break their hearts to see us go bask to NC. 

We were pleasantly surprised when they were very understanding about us moving again. They could see how we were struggling here. Now the daunting part for us is actually getting all of our shit down there again. I swear this is the last time in a long time that we will move again. I only moved once as a child and my husband had never moved, but by now we are pros! 

Right now our plan is to move all our stuff to NC in three weeks when out lease is almost done and we are still waiting for my husband to get a transfer so we will wait here until that happens and we will stay with my mother. Since my eldest daughter has to start school down there in August we are kinda hoping to move soon, as of August 1 the house is ours again.

So we are waiting to hear about the transfer, I am getting nervous because its been a month, the position that he applied for is pretty much a lateral transfer, so it should go smoothly, if it would actually go! Now I have been looking for a job so we can just go.
