Hello all! Well when Rachel and I made the decision 2 years ago to move to the San Francisco Bay Area, we created a blog so our family and friends could follow our journey so I have decided to create a blog to follow my next move to Mobile, Alabama! A lot of you who don't know the whole story are probably wondering, why Alabama? Well, my original intention for moving out here to California (besides getting the hell out of Michigan) was to go to school at San Jose State University, but due to impaction out here caused by the budget crisis, they put me on a waiting list to get in. Well, 2 years later, I am no closer to being admitted, and I was tired of waiting. My sister Olivia just moved down to Alabama, and it was a perfect place to go and finish my Bachelor's because it is cheap and beautiful. So starting in September, I am going to be attending the University of South Alabama. I fly down to Alabama June 20-25 to look at apartments, go to my school's orientation, and go on job interviews. Olivia is flying to California to help pack my car, then Olivia, Sonny (the dog), and I are driving my car across the country to Alabama in the beginning of August.
Rachel is flying to Italy and Rome next month in mid-June for a wedding, then she flies to Sydney, Australia for 3 months to work abroad for Google, then back home to California to live for at least another year.
I really want this blog to serve as an archive for the new chapter in my life. Plus, you all can read as I embark on this big move. I will try an update this thing regularly, and you can read about our adventurous road trip! We plan on driving through Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, and then Alabama! I plan on posting pictures, and stories along the way!
Wish me luck!
