FAQ's on the move

It has been 3 full months since we got the official blessing on our move to London. Here are some answers to some frequently asked questions we both get on the upcoming move...

1. Are you excited?

Yes, we are excited. This has been something we've both been planning on and looking forward to for years (yes, years). While we are sad to leave behind family and friends, we are very excited about the move.

2. Where you are going to live? Do they help you find housing?

We'll be in temporary/corporate housing for 30 days. We have that time to secure a furnished flat. We have resources to help us find a place. No, we don't know what part of the city we'll be in yet.

3. When do you leave?

September 24. John starts his new job on October 1.

4. Did you know it is expensive to live in London?

Yes, thanks for the updates all- we are very aware of the cost of living in London.

5. Is Angie going with you? (Question most often asked of John).

Yes, we figured a good way to stay married is to live together and be together.

6. Is Angie going to work?

Yes, she is hopeful she will find a job.

7. How long are you going?

18 months.

8. Are you all packed? Are you bringing everything with you? What are you doing with your cars?

No, the company packs and moves us and also stores what we don't bring with us- it is all planned and super helpful. We will not need any boxes, but thanks for offering!
We are only bringing our clothes and some personal effects. Everything else will be furnished for us in a flat we find in the city. John is selling his car (anybody in the market for a used Infiniti?) and Angie will keep her car at her parents while she is away.

9. What are you doing with your place?

Renting it out. Have you seen the OC real estate market lately? Any potential renters send our way- RSM is cheaper than the beach!

10. When is your going away party? Are you going to blow it out?

September 14 is our last day at work. We'll be gathering with whomever is interested at Muldoon's in Newport Beach after work- hopefully you can join us then!
