I Escaped!!

I escaped up to Georgia this weekend! I went up to help my dh find an apartment in Charleston, SC. He starts work there in a couple weeks, so we had to find something quick. We found him a cute little place right on a beautiful marshy creek (Shem Creek). It even has a little fishing dock, so he can go fishing. The building backs up to the creek and is right by the dock, so all he has to do is walk out the back. It's also about 10 minutes from the beach and downtown Charleston and about 20 minutes from his work. It's definitely bittersweet because I'd love to be going with him, but I just have too many responsibilities in Florida. Working for my Brother, my mom, my in-laws, and Bradley loves his school and his routine. We're going to try it for six months. That's how long his lease is. If it's too hard we will move up there. It will be summer then and the transition would be a little easier on the kids. Well I did get a tiny bit of stitching done. Not as much as I would've liked. I've been working on Gingerbread Cottage and I'm just not sure I like the fabric I'm using. It's kind of loose. I like my fabric to be a little denser, but oh well. I don't think I'm going to start over! :) Here's my little wip pic.



I didn't take any other pictures. I thought about it after we left, but oh well. We'll be back in a couple weeks when we move the furniture. Oh, we do have an offer on our house. If everthing goes ok we'll close on Dec. 14th. Wish us luck! :)

  1. Uh? I'm lost. So if you DH is renting an apartment near to where he's going to work, you and the kiddies aren't going but you're selling your home, where are you going to live? Are you renting until you decide whether you're moving to?

    Gingerbread Cottage is nice. I like the fabric, but I can understand what you mean.
