Not many people get to actually DO the "Cross Country Drive" in their whoooole life time.
They always talk about it,...
"Oh, yeah, I'd love to do that."
"Oh, yeah, I'll get to that one of these years!!"
"Oh, yeah, That would be so beautiful!"
So... who's going to believe me if I say that I did it THREE times in just 2 years? Yes, my DH and I drove to CA and back to VA 2 times already since 2006. And we're preparing for another trip out to CA in just a few more days.
Since our wedding in July of 2005, we immediately launched for new ventures together. BH's software business was wrapped up, then selling houses as real estate agents, then... the Fashion School. We decided that this time, I get to choose the industry. He just wanted to be in California... not NY, where FIT was. So I settled for FIDM; it seemed like a good enough school to me, with much to offer. Our life has been nothing but monotonous since.
Long story short,...
We drove to CA for my fashion school and drove back after a year, upon completion of my studies. We tried very hard to work with contractors and get our samples made via telephone; with not much luck we decided to drive BACK to CA to MEET with the sample makers.
Our luck would have it, we ran into The "Mr. Fashion" who knew so much about the industry, and offered much advice and even resources to get ahead in the industry. So we decided that we now have to wrap up all our obligations and responsibilities in VA to head out to CA for good. Our houses and office space on the East side were weighing us down and slowing us down drastically. So...
We decided to make a CLEAN START. We sold our home in DC. We rented our condo in VA.
Then... started the Craigslist Mania: (see next post)
