May, 21, 2012. We return to our jobs on Monday, after our trip to Vegas and engagement. I am giving finals at school and fighting to stay awake. The time change, although small, affected me greatly, but the rumor of my engagement has spread and I am continually retelling my dream proposal. As the day goes on, I find out that my fiance has gone to work and been let go. Talk about an emotional roller coaster! We are in shock as to what we are to do, so he begins frantically searching for jobs. After school ends, we go to visit my parents and Steve gets a job offer....in Oklahoma. It's a wonderful offer, a promotion, a raise, one that can't be turned down. So we decide to go, and in that moment, my life begins to change...drastically.
Steve has 2 weeks from the time we return to Savannah to pack and head out to OK. I help him move and then begin packing myself. I have decided to move in with my parents until I can find a job in OK. I didn't feel it would be practical to move without a job or income. My dad and mom come down to help me move, for the 100th time; we load up the Penske truck and head North. The next morning, my dad and I rise to take the truck to the storage unit, and in less than 48 hrs, we are unloading again. Two hours pass and we finish. The storage unit is packed and we're wondering how I ever accumulated so many things!
