I too miss our old journal entry system. It is what keeps me sane in stressful times, like now....so here I go anyways.
RELOCATION:
I accepted an offer from the LA branch offically on Friday. We worked out all the details and made sure my wife and family were comfortable with the move. My family is always my first priority and I certainly did not want to cause undo emotions without consulting my wife on the whole matter. It has been tough, however. Picking up and relocating so far away seems very intimidating.
We had our first rummage sale this weekend. Surprising enough, we sold alot of our crap that I don't want to take with us to LA. (almost everthing). Even thou we still have tons of stuff left, we seemed to have moved out the big stuff and liquidated old useless furniture and etc. The sale was fun however. We had good weather and even had some friends come and visit and help. A shout out to Reanna74 for the help. It was fun and we plan on continuing our effort next weekend as well. I have given alot of stuff away, just so I don't have to take it with us. I gave a lot of stuff to my wifes family too. I feel better knowing the items I give them will be used and taken care of. It's nice to offer things to family and friends.
My offer is a good one financialy. The relocation budget alone is over 10K. I will use that up in no time I am sure. I will leave for the coast Sept 1st. I need to report to work on the 7th and since I will be driving my car, it need about 4 days to get there. Once I find suitable housing, my family will come out. The faster the better, but I want to make a smart choice and not make a decision in haste trying too hard. I need good schools and a safe neighborhood and of course, something I can afford. I am very jiddery on this whole deal. My nerves are mostly shot and my focus is nonexsistant. I have a hard time finishing a thought before I jump to the next.
I have soooo much work ahead of me in the next week. I hope I pull through with my wits and sanity.
