North Carolina

In case you haven't heard, we are moving to North Carolina. We will be 3 hours from the beach, but more importantly 4.5 hours from my parents. It makes me so super excited! I can go home for Thanksgiving, Christmas, my sister's recitals... and just whenever really. My sister can come visit me too during school breaks. I wanted Virginia, but this was on our dream list as well because it was close to my parents!

I'm not looking forward to the humidity... or getting to know a new city... making new friends... etc. I have some amazing friends that I have met through work and since Steve has been gone, I've been hanging out with them a lot. And it makes me sad. Sad that we didn't start hanging out sooner, and sad because I'm leaving them. But I have a reason to come back now.

I think Utah will remain on our dream list, because I really do like it here and wouldn't mind coming back.

As far as work goes, my last official day is this coming Saturday. I was told to go to NC, look at the store there and decide if I want to continue with the company. If I do, my current boss will call them and give me a "glowing recommendation." His words, not mine haha. Although, if they don't have any positions then I'm out of luck. If they don't, maybe they'll rehire me when they start hiring seasonally. Until we leave though, I'll sort of be on call. If someone calls out, I told them they could call me.

So when do we leave? I'm not sure. If he gets to stay and help his recruiter... we'll leave around the 26th of July. If he doesn't, then the latest we can leave is the 18th.

He still does not have his orders. This means we can't schedule the movers. Steve will be home in less than 3 weeks, and we'll be out of here in 4 or 5. I hate doing things last minute.

It sucks. I'm frustrated. I just want it to be over with, have a nice apartment and be settled in. And then go visit my parents for my birthday. :)
