Moving Out Well 15 Miles Out

               My apartment/house search is finally over and I cannot believe that I am settling to live in my home town. I live in the country now so at least I am moving away from my parents, but I am only moving fifteen miles from my parent’s house. My boyfriend and I are moving into a house in Henry this weekend. Henry was the last place I wanted to live, but I guess making decisions like this is part of being an adult. I just got accepted into the radiology program that starts in the fall. I am very excited that I was accepted, but it has changed our plans for moving to Peoria or Chillicothe. Since I will not be able to work as much as I do now when I am in the program I need to have a job that will work with a crazy schedule. Where I work now is great and so is my boss. When I told my boss my news of getting in the program he told me not to worry about my job because he will work with me and make sure I have enough hours. How can I turn that down? I cannot take the chance of moving to a new town and have a job that will not work with me because I need a pay check every week to have money for gas and other expenses. Also moving closer to Peoria increases what we will have to pay in rent and if I cannot work we could not pay the rent. After debating all the details we decided on a cute three bedroom house in Henry. Life is full of surprises, but this is one I definitely did not see coming.
