Alrighty, it's been a couple weeks so it's time for a new update!
Hi, everyone! I'm Connie and along with my wife, I'm trying to move to Seattle in January!
My wife is currently working 3 jobs and we're saving every penny we can in order to make this happen and we're also asking for anything that can be spared. Our situation here in Maryland has been difficult at best. Between health issues, family issues, homophobia, transphobia and a general bad job market, life has not been kind to us, so we're excited to start anew in a better place.
Recent updates: We're currently spending what free time we have cleaning and organizing our belongings. We've already come to understand that a large portion of our things will not be able to make this move with us. Some of the more valuable things will be staying with people who we trust to take care of them, and others are being donated or outright trashed depending on usefulness and condition.
We're still looking for the right apartment to move into that will be a good home for us to eventually bring our child to join us. This hasn't been easy within our limited price range. We are also open to the possibility of moving into a smaller place for a short time and upgrading when we get closer to him joining us.
Finally: We're reconsidering the possibility of driving. The entire trip is looking to be 40+ hours of drive time and we're not thrilled about the idea, but this will drastically cut down on moving costs considering not only do we not have to pay someone to transport our vehicle, AND I can avoid the dreaded TSA, but we also have more space in which to bring our most valued belongings. (And if things work out, we'll stop to visit some friends along the way.)
Thanks again for any help you can provide. Every little bit brings us that much closer to a better, and safer life.
