Well it's out in the open now very publicly that Bill, Allie and I are moving and the support has been amazing. The RAs, my coworkers, my family, everyone is making me really feel like this is the right decision for us all and not making me second guess the decision to move. Maybe secretly they all want us to leave and are pushing us away but if that's their intentions, they're all doing it in a very sly roundabout way! (Haha).
But anyway, things are starting to come together for us. We have set up a few apartment tours for when we go down next week to bring Bill down and get him settled to start on the 23rd, and we are also working with a realtor about possibly seeing some adorable houses! We spoke with a mortgage company and were preapproved for a loan which was great so now we're looking at the possibility of a house. We're not sure if we will definitely get a loan since we're not living in SC yet and it will take us a little bit to get established in our jobs and such so if we have to rent for a year that will be fine but the prospect of a house is so exciting. We're looking at 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, mostly ranch style houses but they all seem to have a garage, and a backyard which is what we're looking for so we can (someday) have another baby or two! Bills really been searching hard and we've found so many it's going to be hard to go see a bunch in the few days I am down there next week but we will give it our best shot! I am ready to apartment and house hunt for 3 days straight if that's what it takes to get my family into a nice home.
In other news, I hopefully will find a job soon. I've been applying to a bunch in Horry County, North Myrtle Beach, and Myrtle Beach as I see them post so hopefully I will hear from a couple. I put my resume on a few websites and have heard back from a few places and I think may meet with one of them next week. I won't go into specifics because I don't want to jinx it (silly I know) but not having a job is really weighing on me. I have had a steady job since I've been about 13 when I started babysitting and started working at Shaws at 15, and most of the time I had 2 or 3 jobs. In college, I always had multiple jobs and the past few years I have consistently been working full time and then either part time at Aeropostale or now the restaurant. And at that time I was in graduate school and when that ended, Allie was born a few months later. So I'm just used to always working and I really enjoy working and supporting myself and having my own paycheck. I absolutely love spending time and being home with Allie, but I think being a working mom has made me a better mom. I work hard to support her, and give her a great life like the one my parents gave me. Hopefully Myrtle Beach provides that to us...I think it will.
