We're MOVING


So, do you remember how excited we were to buy our first house? Do you remember how hard we worked on it? Do you remember how much we l.o.v.e. it?
Did I not share all that with you?
My bad.
Well, none of that matters anymore.

Cameron's job in Organic Food Distribution was good. It was family oriented which we loved. He enjoyed his work. It had great benefits. It paid the bills.
But that was IT. We've lived on no extras for the nearly 4 years we have been married.
For instance:
I have no makeup other than what my sisters/mother-in-law have given me of their leftovers.
We do not go out to eat ever.
We go grocery shopping once a week and aside from bills that is the only money we spend.
My daughter almost didn't get summer clothes, and I was going to cut the sleeves off of her long-sleeved shirts, and the legs off of her jeans, but my wonderful mother brought over a bag of brand new summer clothes for her so that didn't have to happen.
This was not working anymore to say the least.

Sooooo, Cameron has decided to become an Air Traffic Controller.
The closest schooling for that is 2 hours away. So guess what? We're moving 2 hours away.
Byebye house.
*sniffle*
Hello apartment.
*sniffle*
And room-mate.
*sniffle sniffle*

Yep. We're renting out the house we love. Signed the lease agreement with the renters two days ago.
And we move on SATURDAY.
That's in 3 days.
3 DAYS.
Everything is happening SO fast!
We've spent the last three weeks looking for renters, creating lease agreements, looking for apartments, filling out applications, packing, filing for financial aid, registering Cam for classes, and driving up and down the 4 hour round-trip drive to the place that will be our new home.
Our first home away from our families.
It's scary.

I still don't have my license which makes it scarier, but I am working on it. Got my permit renewed (again), and I drove around our neighborhood the other day.

On top of all this, Cameron had to have emergency surgery to have his appendix taken out.
This was an ordeal in itself because he was in extreme pain for nearly 24 hours before they figured out what was wrong.
They thought we were trying to scam pain meds. =/
Not cool.

Anyway, I'm hoping to start posting more often now that I've revamped the blog. Stay tuned!
