I'd love to get out of Mississippi, myself.

Every place definitely has their ups and downs, from housing, weather to even the dreaded political stuff. It’s always important to do research on places to find the place that best suits you. Having family nearby (if they’re kind and supportive) is a major plus as well. I hope one day you’re able to achieve that goal of moving out of that state and to a place that suits you best.

It must be a relief to finally escape the politics / Thinking which has been destroying California the last ten years. I wish you luck!

Unfortunately while I’m moving out of what they call a blue state to what they call a red state, the city I’m moving to is a blue city run by the same party that runs a lot of California, so minority city when it comes to party but the mayor still possibly runs it the same as the current California governor.

OUCH.

Yep. That’s how it goes at times.

Hey hey, Happy Birthday! ✨🫶🏻

Thank you so much.

Happy birthday, King! You deserve all the best! I'm happy you're doing well. I used to live in California myself. It was nice, but whew the prices. I hope you're able to find a job shortly after getting there!

Thank you so very much. Same to you.
It definitely is, especially weather wise, absolutely the prices are killer and a key factor in our decision to move. The current rent where we live is $2,000 a month which in comparison to other units in our complex is very cheap. Odds are our landlord would’ve raised our rent this year with the renewing of the lease, which is understandable with prices going higher. Luckily my cousin owns the house we’re moving into and said $2,000 a month is the amount he’ll charge us and promised not to raise it. So same price for a much bigger place, great deal in my opinion. I have visited the place and I can personally confirm everything I’ve put in the journal about the place regards to size and it’s in comparison to my current place which is a two story townhouse. So from a two story townhouse to a much bigger two story house.

You're most welcome!!!
That sounds so freaking epic! I'm happy your cousin agreed to that arrangement and am sure he will be a good landlord.
-hugs- Hope your bday went well and the move goes well and smooth!~

Totally agree, luckily it was his idea to make that offer. He’s definitely a nice person if you don’t mind a person who’s on the Christian faith side and is more vocal about it but not a bible thumper as some are.
-hugs in return- it was definitely a good day. Had a nice burrito for lunch and a slice of cake later after my stomach settled. We’ve got all the major hurdles taken care of. Truck rented, at least a couple people to help with the moving. Just gotta make sure we have enough money for gas, meals and snacks during the trip there. Everything else is mostly figured out money wise. Mom made all the calculations earlier in the year and reserved the truck, so major hurdle taken care of. One big question will be what will gas prices be when we do the move in July. Hopefully lower than they currently are but that varies from city to city.

:) Happy birthday! It seems like a good opportunity to find new special things in Idaho (little festivals and such that only locals know about)

Thankies. It definitely is but until we get settled in our main focus is just surviving on what we’ll have money wise. It’ll be tight but we’ll manage. We already know of a few good restaurants nearby with good food and the more local thing for fry’s called fry sauce and that sauce is different at each restaurant you get it at.

Whoaaa :0 I wonder if the fry sauce started there? I've seen it here in stores, but not in restaraunts.

It's good that you have what you need to survive financially. Let us know what your favorite dishes are at the restaraunts! :)

No clue on that. Same, as far as I know most restaurants don’t offer fry sauce except for a lot of restaurants in Utah and Idaho. Definitely saw a bottle of Stater Brothers brand fry sauce at my local stater brothers store and that’s about it.

Definitely. Been saving as much money as I can for this move. I definitely will.

Happy Birthday! 🎂🎉🎉

Thanks very much.
