Life take a turn

It is now September 30, 2006. I have moved from the High Desert of California to the east. I now live in Michigan, the west side of the state. The weather here is so different from California. I know that they are still in the 90's while here we had rain most of the day and it is only in the 60's. We moved here in April and to date I am still with out a job. It is really hard finding work out here and it is harder dealing with the idea that I left a job of over twenty years behind. I miss all of my friends and I do miss my old job. Where I lived was a very nice area, but was starting to get run down. There was a lot of crime and I didn't feel safe anymore. We left behind our home of seven years, our jobs and all of our friends. I had lived in the High Desert from 1980, and my boy friend went to school there. He lived his whole adult life there. It was very hard to leave everyone we knew and everything we knew. We are trying to start a new life here. I wanted to be with my parents, so we left everything and moved here. My boyfriend was able to start work right away. I had set up a few things prior to living California, but they didn't work out. When I got here it seemed that all the jobs I had waiting were gone. I don't like not being able to take care of myself. I don't like being out of work. I don't like having to depend on others. I do like being with my parents. I do like that my boyfriend has stayed by my side. I don't know what is going to happen, but I hope something good happens soon. We spent all that we had saved up to make this move. We sold a lot of what we had and now to even thing about trying to start over is hard. If I can not find work soon, and if things don't get any better, we may have to move back. The thought of moving back is not a good one. We would not have the money to do it, and we don't have a place to live. We know we could get our old jobs back, but don't know what we would live on or where. I just have to keep my chin up and hope for the best. Everyone keeps tells me that things will get better, that being out of work for five months is not a big deal. To me it is a very big deal. I don't think people understand. I hope all that read this put in a special wish for me to have some good luck in finding my way. I want to make this new turn in my life work. I want to get a job and get my own home. I want to move on with my life. I don't think I am asking for all that much. I know that I have been trying and I feel I have been doing my best to make things happen. Well that is my bit for today.
