Our Plan, so far

Since I posted our update a few days ago, Shannon and I decided that we're going to visit Winston-Salem, NC and see some apartments.  We don't want to consider staying here in our current city, nor Mooresville (rent is expensive).  He told me to start applying for jobs in Winston-Salem, I retorted with the fact that I have never been there, I have no idea what's out there as I have never been there!  So we're going to go this weekend, to drive around the city and just check out the area. 

We are considering Winston-Salem because it's the same city of where he wants to go to law school, they have really affordable rent, and hopefully there will be more jobs out there.  In the last few days, I have searched online and even applied for a few jobs for both Shannon and myself.  I am using our cell number as our main contact number on applications, cover letters, and resumes.  I ended up looking up apartments and found that rent is pretty affordable.  Besides finding an apartment, our next priority is finding a job for at least one of us and then go from there. After that, we'll worry about getting Kyle registered in the new school district. 

My in-laws are going back and forth about when they want to move out.  My FIL was saying he wants to be out by June 1st.  Just a few days ago, they were saying they are looking to be out by June 30th.  I just hope we can get out of here around the end of May, which is just around the time school ends for Kyle.  Luckily most of our stuff is still packed away in the garage, but we want to go through it and downsize our stuff.  We also have the stuff we use everyday (clothes, toys, etc) that we'll need to pack.
