The move back to Michigan/Ohio
When I moved to Iowa Lori and I had discussed about me working. It was agreed
upon that it I wasn't working by July we would would back to Michigan. Lori's
middle son, Mike, went to basic training for the National Gaurd June 8th and
wouldn't get out till September 15th. We stayed in Iowa till he got out so we
could spend some time with him before we moved. The time we spend with him was
very enjoyable.
We made the decision to move back to Michigan October 30th. We rented a 24
foot U Haul truck and car dolly, it took two days to load it, Sheila moved back
also. The move was much better than the move to Iowa we had very good weather
for the move. Sheila moved back to Harrison Michigan. Lori and I stayed at her
sister's in Temperance Michigan while we were looking for a place.
I had a job waiting for me in Wyandotte Michigan delivering pizzas, about 50
miles from Temperance. I was driving the distance back and forth to Wyandotte
3-4 days a week, with delivery miles and driving about 200 miles a day. We
looked for an apartment in the downriver area, but they were very expensive.
I saw how happy Lori was being back close to her family so I decide to look for
a place near them. It worked out great for us within 3 days we found an
affordable 2 bedroom apartment and Lori found a job.
The place we found was in Toledo Ohio, about 5 miles from her sister. The
place where Lori works is only 2 1/2 miles from us, so she doesn't have very far to drive.
