Thinking About Next Year

We are currently in NY right now and we originally moved here about 2 years ago because I had a job offer during a time we were living paycheck to paycheck. And for the first year it was going pretty good and we were saving up a lot so we could have a proper wedding and a house in the future. Unfortunately Covid hit and when it did our funds pretty much went to nothing since it cost me my job and he had just started his job. Not to mention having to spend money on medicine, cleaning supplies and grocery delivery because we couldn't really go out due to the lockdown restrictions. And of course all the regular bills still going through like nothing.

The virus not only effected our finances, it made NY much more dangerous with the rise in violence and crime and it doesn't seem to be getting better. In general its just not where we can be and stay calm. We are so constantly stressed and worried for our safety especially me since I work in the city. Even where we live was actually getting better but now its getting dangerous again. 

We are moving back to Florida because we can be closer to friends and away from the crazy chaos happening here. 

I am sad because I recently started this job in early September and I really like this job its nice with good people too. Its the first job I have been able to use my Digital Media degree in to actually do designs for marketing and social marketing. I haven't told them yet because I want to wait at least a month beforehand. At least while I am here I am gaining more experience for my resume and building a steady portfolio.

My husband's job will be transferring with him along with the same pay rate but I will be unemployed for a while unless they can keep me employed online. But I'm not sad about being unemployed this time because where we will be moving I can actually walk around and not be worried for my safety. I can go out by myself and just enjoy. I can take time to focus on my art and find a job I really enjoy or a career even!

I can't wait until we move and I am counting down the days as we get closer and closer. 

Next month we will be going down there to see a few places and get an idea where we will be moving to and seeing family as well.
