We are flying out the 26th of August to ST Louis, MO. Larry has an interview with a development company that includes Red Moon Restaurants. They may very probably have an opening for an accountant part-time. The money is a LOT better for Larry, and I could potentially work P/T and write the rest of the time (I can't focus on writing full-time until I make some $$ from it).

The cost of living is much more affordable. The longer we stay here the further we get in the hole. We'll never be able to afford to own a home here (as an example, our teeny one bedroom rental house would be on the market for $369,000.)

Wish us luck! We need to get away from these crazy people. I don't know how I will adjust to wearing shoes again, however.

How would you adjust to sane people though? I'm afraid they'd be awfully boring...or so I've heard....

Edited to wish you lots and lots of luck!

It is colder, but this is a good opportunity for us to save money and eventually be able to move (for a final time) to Charleston, SC and buy a house there. That is our goal. We are just not ever going to get ahead down here financially. It's already cost us a ton of $$. Additionally, neither of us want to raise a child down here.

You should suggest they use this for their new logo:

How'd you make out with your teeth?? Sorry I haven't gotten a chance to call, things have been a little bonkers here lately.

I have a good friend who lives in Rock Hill SC. Not a bad place to live, and the housing is very inexpensive. The laws are a tad harsh on some things. All in all...not to bad depending on what you do for a living. No vehicle state inspection is a bonus.
