Moving on up


Well more news from the Galloways.
Drew and I have decided to move on. We are moving back to Vancouver.

We are super excited about our new plan.
2011 is the year of change. Drew graduates, I will be going back to school and we will both be able to work full time!

All of this means we will make new friends, be able to do more of the things that are important to us, and neither of us will have to work as hard as we have been.

We are in the process of purging. Well I am, as I am the clutter collector. I'm hoping that my brother will take my chairs and maybe a trunk or 2.

We expect that we will be living in a small one room or even a bachelor pad when we move to Vancouver.

Our plan:
-March 1st- I move up with the truck and some of my belongings and maybe a cat or the dogs.
- March 1st Drew moves in with his dad. all of our stuff goes into storage in Kamloops.
- Drew continues to work in Kamloops to support me in Vancouver. Also doing final semester in University (full time) yes my husband is amazing.
- I will find a small room to rent for 2 months while looking for a job.
- Within 2 months I will have found a full time job (or 2 part time jobs) find a pet friendly apartment that I can afford on one income. Drew can quit working in Kamloops I will now support us
- End of April Drew will join me in Vancouver and we will move in together in our new apartment.
- Drew will find a job and we will get our stuff from storage and move it to Vancouver
- And we will live happily ever after.

I bet you are wondering WHY THE HELL I am moving March first and drew is moving in with his dad.
Our lease runs out March 1st. We could continue to live here but must sign lease for 6 more months. As most of you know, we live in a total dump. The lady upstairs is going to have a baby in April and this place has zero sound protection. (now they have an elliptical trainer-ugh). So living here would not suit us.

So this is going to be our crazy life coming up in exactly 49 days.
I am really excited and really really scared at the same time.

During the day I think about how amazing it is going to be in Vancouver, I think of all the opportunity, the people, and starting over.

At night I think about being away from Drew for 2 months, about not finding a job, about hating my roommate, and not having enough money to see us threw the first couple of months.

Sigh, this is a major change in our lives. Last time we moved to Vancouver it turned out to be a great thing. I am hoping that this time goes just as smoothly.

We only live once. This is going to be so awesome that it will blow our minds. We are going to make everyone proud.
