February 28-Hal and I had a day where nothing we could do or think would make living here better. We started discussing how much we wanted to move back and it went from there. Since then we've been thinking and thinking and talking and thinking. WAY TOO MUCH THINKING. We even started telling certain people that we were coming back. Started looking at apartments, and were a few steps away from sitting down and looking at what our budget would be if we moved back.
February 29-More thinking, scheming, planning, talking, thinking, STRESSING!
March 1-We got out of the house, ran a few errands, got some tasty Chicago dogs and root beer and decided that we need to stay. At this point, until we can start seeing ourselves having some kind of a life here, we are going to stay as long as it takes to pay off as much debt as possible and save save save. We actually have money in savings right now and it feels so good. Our deductible on our car insurance is the lowest its ever been since we've been married. We can afford rent and all our regular bills plus collections, debt, personal loans, educational loans, etc. and still have money left over to for once, BUY NEW CLOTHES!
So from here on out I will accept the "bad"days as "bad" days. Will pray and count my blessings more. I will NOT tell everyone I know that I'm moving back to LA unless we are in our car, bags and boxes packed with a moving van towing the 4-Runner. We will visit as often as we can. And we will do our best to stay focused and try to have a little more fun!!
All that I ask from you is to please just let me bitch and complain.
And THANK YOU so much for being supportive
Those bad days do happen, and more often in the cold, snowy winters! It will be much better when you can get out of the house without putting on three extra layers for everyone...
