The uncertainty is over!
I hate uncertainty! A couple weeks ago Tony’s boss gave him the option of moving to the Tampa area and voluntarily taking a demotion. Now when we first came back out to FL (from NV) and he was asked to come back to work for his company, he made it clear he didn’t want to be a General Manager. They showed urgency to him filling the position and the District Manager at the time said he would make really good money and that the restaurant was running well.
That was not all the truth. He has been working far too much over the last year and a half and not really making as much as he should be. He originally wanted to be a kitchen manager. He told the DM at the time that he would try it out for 6 months. He didn’t like it 2 months in to it but couldn’t do much about it because they really needed him.
So when she asked if he wanted to go to another location where he would work less and more than likely make the same….it wasn’t a hard decision. The only thing we needed was to figure things out with our apartment. That’s a whole other story all in itself. We also needed the go ahead from his job, because at the time (2 weeks ago) they didn’t have a replacement for him.
Well today he told his boss that we found a place (which we did) and it was a really good house. It will actually cost us $525 less a month than what we pay in South Florida. Which means if he makes the same money then we will be way better off.
Now all we need to do is take care of all the financials with renting this house and pack up. We will be moving in 3 weeks. I am so excited. I am done with South Florida. I remember the Tampa area being so much more friendly. I really want to settle down and stop moving…..however I will move until I find somewhere I can be happy. It most certainly is not in South Florida.

Congrats on the move Leeanne! I hope you are able to get more quality time with Tony once his hours are cut back.
My brother lived in St. Pete for a few years and it was so nice. That’s awesome that you will be paying less for rent.
