Struggle Turns Us Away From The Ocean.

Katie and I are officially moving to Boise, Idaho to attend school at Boise State. We're both super excited! Sunny San Diego is nice to visit but very very expensive to live and it's definitely not a good place to start out for a young married couple that can barely afford to pay bills. Ever since my car accident, I feel like San Diego has slowly been taking the life out of me. I don't understand why everyone loves it so much. I guess it's the ocean and the nice sunny weather, but to me, it's not worth the struggle. After my accident that put me in over $35,000 debt, I've been working and attending school, hoping that it would soon go away, but my car insurance still hasn't done anything about it after two whole years. My car was paid off, but they've paid nothing on my hospital bill. I guess life isn't just one big happy story. There are ups and downs and struggles, but it's what you make of it that really counts. I feel as though I've been letting the economy and my financial situation get me down lately, but I'm excited for Boise because for us, it's a new start and a new adventure. A place where we can attend school and afford to pay bills and actually live life. I'm sure I'll miss San Diego's beautiful weather and most of all, the ocean, but we may come back when we can afford to actually live in San Diego. It frustrates me when people get good jobs that make good money given to them and they complain about their job. I have a horrible job that makes no money and my wife and I struggle financially and try really hard not to complain about our situation. There are so many people out there that have it worse than even we do. So I'm excited to get out of here, but before Boise, we have to help my parents move to Texas. My dad accepted a job with Immigration and Customs Enforcement so my family is moving to Laredo, Texas. Scary. Katie and I will be driving out there and staying with them for a couple of days before our long drive to Boise. None of my family have really been happy in San Diego and I think this economy has affected all of us atleast a little bit. We're all excited to leave. In the meantime, all of you who love the sound of Sunny San Diego can come visit in the summertime, but if you can't afford to live in North County, I would suggest not living here. For now, I'm peacing out. Hopefully the old, happy Gabe will be back next Thursday when I quit this burger joint and get the hell out of this desert.
