Moving day has arrived!
I left at 6am today and Melissa left after the moving truck.
Goodbye cute little house. You were full of so many happy memories and first. Thank you for being the perfect first home for us. I’m going to miss you.
Hello, Raleigh!
I’m ready for new adventures!
We’ve been pretty busy lately with packing, hiring a moving company, finding an apartment in NC, and spending time with friends before we leave.
Only 4 more days until moving day. It feels like we still have so much to do before then. It’s all so overwhelming. I told Melissa that she better be okay with living in NC forever because I’m not moving out of state ever again. Unless of course her job pays for the moving company and it’s a company that packs everything for you!
We are at the point where we are just ready to be down there and unpacking in our new place. It feels like the 30th will never come!
So, Melissa and I have a VERY big announcement…
July will be our LAST month as Ohioans.
The Merritt’s are heading SOUTH!
Melissa’s transfer request was accepted and she was offered a position with her current company in…
NORTH CAROLINA!
This was a move that we knew would EVENTUALLY happen. With my thyroid disease Midwest winters are incredibly painful and difficult, we both love warm weather, and we both wanted to be closer to her family. But we decided it would be smarter to make the move before we started a family so, we bumped it up a couple of years!
There are so many things I love about Ohio. It’s been my home for 24 years. It’s where I grew up, where I became who I am, where I met my wife, and where we got married. But we are both ready for a fresh start somewhere new. A new place to create many happy memories and raise a family.
I will miss all of my Ohio peeps but we will be less than 2 hours from the beach so pack your bathers and come for a visit!
An Awfully Big Adventure
