we made a decision tonight. we are turning in our 30-day notice to vacate, and we are moving to muskogee ... and back in with my parents! i haven't lived at my parents' house since i was 17 years old! in fact they didn't even live in this house when i last lived with them.
by doing this, we will be able to save quite a bit of money and pay off several things. it just means a long commute back and forth every day. luckily, we will be driving together. since travis can get by on a few hours of sleep, he'll be able to drive and i'll be able to rest in the car. i dread to think what it will be like to drive back to muskogee on nights that we have plans with friends after work.
we had just gotten everything situated just so in our apartment. travis is bringing boxes home tomorrow and we will begin packing it all away again. most everything will go in storage as there is not much sense in us taking much more than our clothes. i am sad and a little stressed. i like this idea better than post-poning the wedding, however.
when the idea was first mentioned, i was excited to think of all of the money we will save and the things we could get paid off ... but now that we are actually doing it, i am more than a little sad. and as much as i love my family, i'm not sure that moving in with them will be the greatest idea. oh well; i suppose anyone can do anything for six months.

oh, wow! you are brave. it makes a lot of sense and you WILL save a lot of money...if you need to escape the family, okc is still just a few hours away!!! i can't wait to see you in a few weeks!
not brave so much as out of options ...
thanks for the invitation, though. i may have to take you up on it some time.
i'm looking forward to the 18th as well. i'm sorry that i couldn't come up this weekend. did you have fun at the upfromunder event?
wow, i had no idea that you were considering this. you'll make it through just fine. we lived with court's parents for a couple of months while in california. and as crazy as it sounds i was actually a bit sad once it was time to be on our own again. you never know...you may appreciate the time with your family more than what you think you will.
