Been a while...

               So its been awhile since I have posted. Things have been a little crazy. Hubby's company offered him a position up in Vancouver, Washington. I know! Never a dull moment here. And we took it! They are going to help pay for the move. So we are off on a new adventure! We have been doing a lot of research on apartments and the area and where his work will be. His work is in a place called fishers landing. And of course I went on Google maps and did a street view of the area. In Vancouver you can see Mt. Hood which is gorgeous!

                  So I am pretty excited! Hubby is having some reservations about it. Mainly because we would be leaving our whole family and back into renting again. I am so excited. Not only to have my own space and get everything out of storage, but it seems amazing up there. Like the outdoor mecca! Kayaking, hiking, biking! Yay! And I find it funny since we have done this so many times, California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, and now Washington, that he should be used to the process. But I guess some things have changed since then. With his dad being diagnosed with Alzheimer's and dementia it worries him. Not only about his dad but leaving his mom with no one to help her. I definitely understand that. He is not at the bad stages yet though. He was just diagnosed last like 2 years ago and it on medication to help slow the process which seems to be better.

                Our move date is October 20th. And his start date for work at the new facility is Oct 27th. Gives us a week to get everything together and get settled before he goes back to work. As for me working I am kinda hoping that I will find something at HP since its right across the street from his work. What are the odds. :) Or maybe I will try something different. Who knows.

               We pretty much think we have found our apartment. Its a 1.3 miles from his work. Unlike now where he spend 1.5 to 2 hours just to get to work. When it should take him like 20 minutes. (to many damn people) So that will be nice. The apartment is a bit small. Its like 635 sq ft. but we want to go tiny right? So here is a chance to see how we do in that amount of space. We will be selling some stuff to be able to fit into it. They also have a 1 bedroom with an upstairs loft for 1200 a month. They have been newly renovated. See below:

               Come with stainless steel appliances and hardwood floors for the bottom units. Washer and dryer included. And two assigned carports so you are never fight to find a spot. Also comes with a fireplace which I am so excited about! Rent for the bottom unit is about a 1000 a month. This same unit in San Diego would probably go for around 1600. So that's a big savings. They also have no state income tax in the state of Washington. So his checks will be a little more. Also right down the street from his work and our apartments..... a whole foods!! Yay! They also have natural grocers out there, which we loved when we were in Texas.

               Well I will keep you guys posted on how it all goes and keep you updated. We are supposed to start going through our storage unit this weekend but we will see how that goes. We were supposed to do it last weekend but hubby got sick. And now this week his back is hurting since he had to repair my tire. Always something with men I swear! lol
