Little Living Update

So my previous post somehow got held in drafts but I published it anyway today. It's been a crazy few months. The month we were planning on spending in California didn't go as planned, we blew through all our budgeted monthly spending's in a week and weren't able to find pick up jobs in Cali like we expected. I guess that's to be expected when you wanna spoil grandchildren you haven't seen in almost 2 years. The hubby called a friend in Arizona and he said "YES, I AM BUSY AND HAVE WORK FOR YOU." So after getting his final pay check we decided to head straight for Flagstaff.
We stayed with our youngest son for 2 weeks but his landlord insisted we leave after that and we didn't want him to have issues with his roommates. We ended up camping out in the forest, Huzzah for free camp spaces, for a week. Not completely horrible but most definitely not what we planned. You know what they say about the best laid plans...
The "job" that we came here for definitely was not anywhere near the full time promised. Hubby would work for 2 days be off for a week, work for 1. So we decided to throw all our effort into looking for real full time employment. Nearly a month and a half after coming here we finally got some job offers...Thank goodness... We were getting scared. I'm so glad to have a partner in life that when things get hard we know we can ALWAYS count on the love we have for one another to pull us through any crisis.

Off we go

So we did the most scary thing imaginable and quit our jobs, put a 30 day notice in for our apartment and are just gonna wing it. We have small flexible plans but first we are headed to California to visit our daughter and grandbabies. We have budgeted money for gas to get us to Cali and then onto Arizona, as well as a small budget for expenses such as food and what not. Hopefully it will last 2 months. We've packed all our belongings into our mini van. Here we go. Wish us well...
