Mid-West meets West Coast meets East Coast...!!!

Hello All!

For those of you who don't know yet...Joe and I have some BIG news! We are moving to Savannah, Georgia at the end of the month! Joe has accepted an amazing job and is looking forward to this advancement in his career.

Joe's new employer is "Gulfstream" http://www.gulfstream.com/ For those of you who don't know about the company, they build the most technologically advanced business jets in the world. These things are amazing, I personally had no idea how advanced these jets could be! Joe is very excited to get started and I am very excited for him!

So, obviously we will be saying a very heartfelt goodbye to life here in Cali. We have LOVED living here and are so happy we had the opportunity to spend 4 amazing years exploring it together. We have made the most amazing lifelong friends here that will be missed greatly...BUT we have a lot of reasons to visit! The hardest part about leaving CA will be leaving Joe's parents behind. Neither one of us want to think about it at this point, but with their full support it makes the move much easier.

Joe and I had never been to Savannah, GA, so our first visit was a few weeks ago. I personally have always dreamed of living in the Carolina's...and South Carolina is only a few miles away! Hilton Head Island is probably the most visited/known area there, it is only 20 minutes or so from Savannah. The winter temps range in the 50's however the summers are going to be HOT! We are super excited about being able to live by the beautiful beaches still...and no snow is a little bonus too :) Probably our biggest perk will be buying a house that we will be ECSTATIC about! We will have extra guest bedrooms and most importantly a BACKYARD!! Obviously housing in CA is beyond difficult, we had been looking for the past 2 years and just haven't been able to pull the trigger, so luckily we didn't!! We are flying out this weekend in hopes to find our new home...VERY EXCITING!

I will keep you posted on the move as much as I can...hope to see you all in Savannah one day! :)

XOXOXO
Jen and Joe

What exciting news! I remember talking to you about how much you wanted to live in the south -- I'm so glad everything is coming together for you!! Personally, I love living here... so will you. And my good friend in Charlotte is from Savannah and could probably point you in the right direction with everything -- I can get you in touch if you'd like! Congrats!!

About Me

My photo
Savannah, Georgia, United States
I am a proud Ohio girl who for the past 4 1/2 years has lived in Irvine, California with my husband and 2 goldendoodles. We recently made a move to the East Coast to Savannah, GA. We are in the process of making this feel like "home" All three of them are the loves of my life! Joe and I started our photography business right after we got married in April and have been loving it! We enjoy meeting new people, hearing their stories and going through their journey with them. Joe and I are excited for a bright future ahead and are enjoying every second of life! We miss our family and friends dearly and hope that by sharing our blog with them makes the distance between us seem a little less vast.
