We're moving, to North Carolina!
(Me with some of our many, many piles of packing boxes. I may or may not have purchased this North Carolina T-shirt at the airport specifically for this blog photo op!)
We decided to move about 4 months ago, but I didn’t want to announce it publicly until things were figured out with my job (you never know, not that anyone I work with reads this.). My husband is going to keep his job and work remotely, with the goal of opening an east coast office and hiring more employees out there in the future. And I just found out last week that I get to keep my job too! Nearly everything I do is by phone or online, so hopefully it will be an easy transition.
So now it’s official, as of the second week of April, we will be living on the other side of the country in Raleigh, 2,800 miles from where we currently live. We just signed a lease on a great house last week, and come this time next year, after we learn the area a little better, we’ll be buying our first house!
I’ve been secretly blogging about the headache that is a coast to coast move, and saving up the posts, which I can finally start publishing. I have no idea if any of these upcoming posts will be interesting or not, but I'm going to post them anyway. ‘Cause let’s be honest, no way am I going to have much time for regular blogging in the few weeks anyway!
Wish us luck in our mad dash to finish all of our packing!

CONGRATS!!!! And you'll be closer to meeeeeeee!!!
Welcome to Raleigh! I'm sure it will be a culture shock coming cross country but this is a great area. 2 hrs to the beach, 2 hrs to the mountains. Perfect!! :)
Aww, how awesome!! I would love to pack up and move sometimes! But I'd miss my hometown too much! Good luck, girl!
Wow! That's huge and exciting news! Hopefully, next year after I finish my degree, we'll be moving, too. :) Good luck, and I can't wait to hear all about your experience!
congrats--that's big news! I'm curious, why NC? looking forward to hearing all the details!
Congrats! How exciting! Living in NC is my dream! Pack me, too? ;)
Good luck with the move! The hubs and I are in the process of moving in the opposite direction this summer, so I feel your pain.
Congratulations! So awesome! I'm so visiting
The cost of living is so much less in Raleigh than in the bay area, so that is excellent for you! Keep the same jobs and pay and then live in a cheaper place, and you'll save enough for a house in no time!
Yay! Congrats!!! I'm so excited for you and can't wait to hear all about the new adventure.
Congrats on the move!! I"m sure your posts will be interesting, I look forward to following you in your journey :)
Welcome to Raleigh! It's a great area, 2hrs to the beach, 2hrs to the mountains and lots in between! I love it! Good luck with the move! I hate packing!
You know how excited I am for you! I'm glad you can FINALLY blog about it! Share it all, yay!
Woohoo! How exciting! Congratulations :)
Yay!! So exciting! I'm so happy for you guys. And, good luck!
Have a fabulous time in your new adventure! Wishing you all the best, sad that we won't be able to meet up (as often)! PS I'm totally jealous that you get to work remotely. I could totally do that with my job!
Awww, such great news, though I'm sad that you're leaving the Bay Area! I also had a sneaking suspicion that this might happen based on some of your previous posts. Can't wait to read all about it - and we have to meet up one last time before you leave!
Yay! I'm so excited to read your posts--so glad you're blogging about this now!
Oh my GOSH!! That is so so so exciting! I'm definitely interested in your "moving across the country sucks" posts because I can relate. We only moved a few states away and it sucked! Good luck, girlfriend :) Welcome to the East Coast!
OMG! Congrats on the move! You must be so excited about it all!
Oh, that's exciting! Good luck with all the moving adventures. I know how challenging it can be, since we also moved a few months ago, but even though it was just to another suburb 30minutes away from here, it was a challenge... how much more a coast to coast move! Have fun! :-D
So very exciting!!! You'll be an east coast girl. Yay!! ;)
late to the party, but congratulations on the upcoming move! how very exciting!
OMG just catching up now. HOLY CRAP!!! I have been sooo absent from reading blogs/twitter and just saw your "AT OUR NEW HOUSE IN NC" tweet and FLIPPPPED!!! Congrats!! I'm catching up now! :)
