I post on Twitter quite frequently.

2018

I haven't made any Blog posts in a really long time. Honestly, I thought I had deleted my personal blog when I created our travel blog. 

In 2015 my husband and I moved to California from Virginia. My husband and I moved to Oceanside, California, which is in the Northern Part of San Diego County. Oceanside is in between San Diego and Los Angeles. 

In August of 2017, My husband was promoted to Chief. As part of the promotion he got new orders, which means we will be moving soon. His new assignment is in San Diego California. He could commute, but we have decided to go ahead and move. In Oceanside, we are living in on base housing and technically, Navy are not permitted to live there if they are assigned to San Diego. However, they turn a blind eye to it if the service member was assigned to CP and then gets transferred. Frequently people go back and forth with assignments between the two bases. 

Both of us would like to be closer to the San Diego area. My husband and I like many things about Oceanside, but its like well we have been here, lets live someplace else. I personally would like to pursue some educational opportunities that are offered at San Diego State and potentially get another job. 

When we moved from Virginia, I just kept my job and I work from home. The problem is, I work for a nonprofit in Virginia, and the pay difference between what I could make in California working for a government entity versus working for a religious nonprofit in Virginia is huge.
Also, when I moved, I told my employer I was only going to be working remotely for 3 years, and now I am at the end of that. I am afraid that they are going to get tired of me working remotely and use that as a reason to get rid of me. So I want to be prepared. There are people in other departments who have worked remotely due to their spouses employer relocation for years. It will be 10 yrs in July that I have been with my employer. But honestly, I am afraid because because I am not keeping my end of the bargain and coming back to Virginia as scheduled.

Since before we moved in Nov 2015, I have been off all anti depressants. I have fought with depression in California, but it has not been very bad at all. 
I have been dealing with things the best I can and so far, I have not had any major episodes requiring me to go back on medication.

I will try to do some further updating later.
My father passed away in 2017, and I should do a long post about that.
