February 2012- Moved to a different client with my company as we lost our business with the current one. I began commuting in public transportation to downtown Pittsburgh. Needless to say every evening I arrived home nauseous from the bus ride.
March 2012- Brian received word that there was an opportunity back in Michigan with his company and we
April 2012- After spending 2 years in Pittsburgh (a little less for me) we packed up our life in Pittsburgh and moved back to Michigan. Technically moved our stuff into storage and in with my mother-in-law. At the same time, my company asked me to continue to work in Pittsburgh with them, flying me out weekly to help with their new client. Since I didn't have a job, I took them up on the offer.
May-June 2012- Commuted back and forth Monday-Friday from Detroit to Pittsburgh. I began to get really good at traveling; packing everything in a carry-on, knowing where I needed to go in the airport, taking a taxi to the hotel, having the hotel staff know me by name. Unfortunately, eating out every meal 5 days a week led me to pack on the pounds that are still lingering today. You would think living in a hotel with a gym would make you want to work out but after a long day at work, all I wanted to do was lay in bed.
June 2012- Brian and I started looking for a house the minute we moved home. Unfortunately the pickings were slim. The housing market it great, almost too great and houses go off the market in a matter of minutes, sometimes before they even go on the market. Once we finally found our house, it went into short sale. We were told 90 days until move in...
End June 2012- I was approached by a start up company, interviewed and landed the job. I work downtown every so often and mostly from the house. I talk to clients all over the US and make sure they are left happy and satisfied with our company
Summer- This summer was filled with weddings, in total 8. We managed to make it to 6 of them, each beautiful in their own way.
December 2012- The end of the year was filled with so much happiness and joy. We officially took ownership of our house, celebrated my 27 birthday and moved in the day the world was going to end.
We were so blessed to be allowed to stay at my mother-in-laws for 9 months, save up money that we can spend on our new place, enjoy time with our nieces, family and friends whenever we want. We felt fortunate enough to have spent 2 years in Pittsburgh, just the two of us and Bear; those experiences will forever be apart of our lives.
Welcome to 2013...
