So what has been going on in this Cheese maker's life lately? Well some of you may or may not know that I recently moved. A lot of things brought about this move from my job to the economy where I was living to my Daughter's well being around family. Basically when it was just me and my wife things were good. We both had good paying jobs. We had a house 3 vehicles etc. Then we had a Daughter and things changed. We lived in a small town and only had one day care. Let's just say it wasn't the best. Everyday my wife would call me on the way into work in the morning saying how all she did was cry going there etc. I guess that was the first seed that was planted on making me move. Second my job was bought out by another company and things basically went down hill from there. I won't get into it but most of you know it wasn't the best situation. My Wife's job was the best and that was what made this so hard. But she wanted to stay home to watch our Daughter instead of daycare which I totally agree with. We started looking at the beginning of the year and even took a trip over here and looked at different places to live. But then we would get back home and in the groove of things and pushed it aside. Our second trip over here this year was different we decided to list our house when we got back. This happen to be right at the time the oil took a dive. Right after that I became obsessed with watching both the housing market over there along with the Crude oil prices. Both were falling. I worked the hardest I have ever worked on a yard I mean everyday until I couldn't see anymore I was out there raking leaves. I felt like I needed to put effort into helping getting out. I watered everyday from July on. We finally got an offer. Then they gave us a closing date and everything was looking good. About a week before our closing the said it had to be pushed back another two weeks. Now I already had put my two weeks in since I had to make a fast trip over here to get vehicles back. So I had to sit there in my house for an extra two weeks. Then a couple of days before the closing it happened again and got pushed back another week. I won't get into all of this since it would take to much time. But lets just say we had 5 yes 5 closing dates. I have been almost out of work for almost two months now where it was only suppose to be a max of one. Then the day we were suppose to get our Uhaul they didn't have one available to us even though we had it reserved a month in advance and talked to two people the day before that told us it would be ready the next morning at 9 am. Anyways we ended up staying with my parents for almost another two weeks when we got over here. The people that we were buying from were very mad to since this was taking so long. I almost gave up thinking that it would never work. This whole thing has been one of the hardest things that I have ever done in my life. In the meantime when we sold our house, homes were going up at a crazy rate and home prices were dropping. Because of the oil dropping the towns and surrounding town people were making a mad exodus out of there. So basically this was our once chance to get out and move back home or by spring of this coming year I believe home prices will be back to what they originally were when we first moved to that area. Well to make a long story short we made it out in the nick of time and closed on our house last Thursday afternoon and this well be our fourth day here. Still moving stuff in and getting things setup. A lot of small things to fix in the house etc. It's scary starting all over again. Neither of us have a job yet and I am just trying to get things settled here before I go looking. I woke up last night lying in bed having almost a panic attack thinking "what did I do?" to go from a perfectly settled life with two great paying jobs to nothing. Try doing that with a child. But at the same time I did it all for Her in the first place so she could be around family and have things to do growing up. I will keep this updated for those of you that want to hear my many adventures to come. So I will try to do a better job on the site now that things are starting to settle down.
