It’s been almost a week since I posted, which is longer than I’ve ever gone without posting since I started this blog. Despite the holidays and my month-old baby, I didn’t intend to take an extended vacation. But we got some unexpected good news that threw everything off.
The day before Christmas Eve, we found out that Tony has been hired for a full-time teaching position at a college in southern Indiana near Louisville, Kentucky. Classes begin January 10, which means we’re moving four hours away in a week.
We were visiting with my in-laws about two hours away from our new home when we got the news, so after the holidays we headed straight to our new city to find an apartment and get things in order for the move.
It’s extremely stressful trying to get everything together on such short notice, especially with a newborn baby. But it really is fantastic news for our family, so I’m not complaining.
Posting may be sparse for the next week as I pack up our apartment and make the move, but I’ll be back soon. Happy New Year to all of you!
congrats!
Congratulations! Seems like this new year will actually bring something completely new. I cannot quite imagine being told to move away in such a short time, though. It always takes ages for me (and for almost everyone I have ever talked to about this) to get ready for the move. You seem to be quite prepared but good luck with it anyway!
I’m from in Southern Indiana near Louisville and have attended that college. Its not such a bad place to live, good luck. I stunbled across your blog while looking for ideas on how to save money so that we can get out of debt.
Congratulations on the job! I know you don’t know me at all but I’ve been reading and enjoying your blog for quite a while now. I actually live in Louisville, born and raised here, so if you have any questions or need anything at all in regards to the city feel free to email me and I’ll be happy to help you.
