Windy road types of peeps.

On August 15, just three and a half short months ago, I wrote on this very blog; “Don’t quote me on this, but I have a feeling that Durham will be our home for quite a while.” Ha, I now laugh at myself! Feel free to join in. Either we are the type of people that are extremely indecisive when it comes to figuring what we want out of life. Or we know exactly what we want and just take ridiculously windy roads getting there. Well we are windy road types of peeps and guess what I am over North Carolina! Some people may laugh at us, tell us to stick it out, or think we are just plain dumb moving over and over and over and yep now have the desire to move once again. I’m not saying we have official plans to move just yet but this has been a major topic of discussion between Glenn and I recently. Don’t get me wrong we don’t hate our lives here by any means. We love the green, the people we have met, and the opportunity to establish ourselves as a couple away from a place where people have known us our entire lives. But we dislike Glenn’s job, having no money, and the thought of raising our baby 2,785 miles (Yes, I just Googled that.) away from our families. We have given the East Coast a fair shot. Plain and simple though we are West Coasters born and raised and it’s where we belong. There are a lot of possibilities up in the air right now but I will say that Glenn is looking at jobs teaching at Colleges located on the West Coast. We’re not talking California specific but anywhere within a day’s drive of California is our preference. We don’t exactly love the hassles and expenses and starting over in a new place constantly. Our current plan is that Glenn will remain with his current job teaching at a High School and will apply like crazy at Colleges for next fall. Last year Glenn was narrowed down to the final two applicants for College positions twice, so we are confident that with another year of teaching under his belt he stands a decent chance. We are optimistic, hopeful, and trust that life will work out the way it’s supposed to for us. If we have to stay in North Carolina for another year we know it’s not the worst scenario for us. We could deal, but I just don’t wanna! If life goes according to our plans we will be making a road trip to California next summer, have our baby there, and Glenn will be a College professor in the fall! We’re daring to dream!
