We had dinner at 7:00 pm with our friends, Denise and Dennis. The plan was to sleep over their place and then hit the road at 5:00 am the morning after. So, I made sure our apartment was clean and empty.
It took me literally 3 days to pack the car. I was trying hard to mush the stuff together because I did not want to leave anything behind. The last night in Florida, I was so tired of trying to shovel everything in the truck that I decided to pull out my white flag and give up.I needed to leave a few things behind.
As you can tell, my husband, after 2 years in South Florida, decided to go back to teach in New Jersey. He missed the Garden State too much. Our journey started in June when he interviewed in Jersey. He flew in the morning, got the job and was back home by nighttime. I remember the look on his face, he was tired but pretty happy about the position. Unfortunately, weeks later we found out that we did not have the job anymore. So, he had to fly back to New Jersey again. This time he decided to stay up north for a week and go for a second job interview. I prayed and waited for a few days, hoping to receive good news about the second interview. We both felt a great relief when he got the job because now we were able to move on to the next part: the move itself!
Our trip to New Jersey was a great new adventure for us. Even our fury little baby Hooch enjoyed it. We were able to stop to North Carolina for a nice dinner at The Pit(a BBQ restaurant) in the city of Raleigh. We also made a quick stop in DC and York, Pennsylvania.
Once we made it to New York, we stayed with family for a few days while we looked for a place. After 1 week or so, we were able to move into a new place in Union County. Finding a home, by the way, was very hard since most places in Northern New Jersey are not dog friendly and we were not going to give up our fury little baby.
We slept on the floor for a week while we were waiting for our furniture to arrive. It took a lot of patience and strength and we could have not done that without the Lord. He was there with us.
Finally, we are able to go back to our routine.
