Why are things never easy? Well I guess some things have come together very nicely for us, but other areas are extremely difficult. There is no middle ground in our lives and we are trying to accept and deal with that fact.
So heres a little update for everyone since its been awhile... For now we remain in NC. Although there have been discussions of moving elsewhere and venturing out somewhere else, that hasnt happened. Mainly because my aunt and uncle have been amazing in renting us their old house since they are just finishing the process of building themselves a new house. As a wedding gift to us they definitely arent charging us as much as they could, or really should. We basically have a gorgeous and HUGE house for the price of a decent apartment so you cant beat that and thats why its scary to think about moving elsewhere and being confronted with housing decisions when here its just a given, at least for now. I think we will stay here for either as long as they are willing to rent to us, or until another opportunity presents itself.
We are both working an insane amount of hours right now in attempt to save up as much money as possible. You just never know what expenses there are going to be and we want to be covered. I know both sets of our parents would be willing to help out and at least loan us money if we ever became that desperate, but we really dont want to rely on that. We dont even consider it as an option. It would be the last, last LAST resort. So thats why we both decided we would each work two jobs and just save save save. I dont mind either of my jobs, in fact I would go as far as to say I enjoy them, I just miss not being able to spend that precious time with Josh. Its hard being newlyweds and feeling that we hardly get to see each other. Its a rough way to start a marriage no doubt, but we both know its for the good in our future and becoming financially stable so we have a common goal that we are working towards, so thats good. It also makes us enjoy and cherish the time that we are able to spend together all the much more because it doesnt happen very often. Neither of us work sundays though so that is devoted to being our "us" day.
