Limbo

Looks like it's about time for a status update. I haven't posted since, um, April, right? Okay, I'll catch you up on what's been happening. Over the last 6 months, I've been packing up and paring down our possessions in anticipation of moving out of NY. I also put my Etsy business on hold so I could get everything in order for the move. I have been travelling back and forth to SC to visit family and such, and in August, I lost my grandmother. Then my husband left the Navy after ten years of service to his country at the end of October. We had big dreams to move back to Jacksonville, FL, where we could be close to friends and family, unfortunately, work is hard to come by everywhere, and my husband has had no luck finding a job in his field in Jacksonville. We have been trying since August to sell our house (without success, I might add). I don't care what the experts say, the economy stinks. So, needless to say, we've had to revise our gameplan. Although it's not financially ideal, we're going to take the house off the market and keep it until the market recovers a little. My husband has opened his job search to the entire Southeast. We have our fingers crossed for a job in TN or NC, but our only requirements at the moment are to live somewhere within a day's drive of the family and to have enough money to pay the bills. Last Friday, we packed up our essentials and moved in with my parents in SC for the holiday season or until my husband finds a job, whichever takes longer. As of now, we are officially in limbo. I'll let you know how it goes, heh.
