It seems
like a lifetime ago that my then fiancé and I were discussing where our lives
would take us. The world was ours to
have. While we were deciding what
direction we needed to bring our life I asked my husband if he ever regretted
not finishing college. After a pause
that seemed to carry on for hours my husband replied that, “yes” he regretted
not finishing college.
It was
with that one syllable answer that our lives turned into a whirl wind of
action. We were married on a beautiful day in October in the lovely southern
sunshine only a few months after that talk. For a little under a year we worked
hard long hours, paid off most of our debt and saved as much money as we
could. With our life crammed into an SUV
and a hitch along trailer we finally left for the journey that seemed to never arrive.
On the first
day of September 2009 we left the beautiful state of South Carolina. Three days later and 1000 miles behind us we
finally came careening into Boston…during rush hour! We were so close yet so far from our final
destination. It took us another two
hours to finally step foot into the house that had only been viewed online. This is how a small town country girl is
surviving and thriving in the BIG CITY.
