I can well imagine. The description of your apartment, and the creerpy landlady and her husband were enough to put anyone off the idea of staying there. I'm so glad you managed to find another that went with the job. Another enjoyable chapter.

Thank you Alexis. Yes, when the lease was up, we were out of there. The next place had a few problems too, but it was in a nicer neighborhood and larger. There were no creepy landlords.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
The house hunting paid off. It's interesting how cheap rent was back then. Now if you rented in a city, it would be several hundred of dollars per month. Was the neighborhood safe? That's always a good thing to check out.

Yes, I was actually a safer neighborhood than the first house. All these house were in what was once a better part of the city. They were large and probably built in the twenties and maybe earlier but they were all well kept and more convenient to the city.

Although your story was written well, I thought you could give more feeling about the change of your residence. It seemed you directed your memoir to your husband but directed in 3rd person (you). good luck with your story.

Thanks for the review and comments.
Comment from Gideon300
It's interesting to see how someone remembers their life in really another time period. How you worried over a job and college. What your apartment was like and the kind of job you hoped your husband would get.
Ordinary things like that.

Having to more for a relocation for a job is daunting any way you look at it so much going on in ones life to keep one on their toes trying to save a buck.

Comment from Spitfire
Your arm left my shoulder as you grabbed both sides to save yourself.
Glad you could see the humor in that. To me, it would spelled 'self centered.'
Seems to be he doesn't want you to go to college. Maybe afraid you'd find someone younger.
Love the price comparisons. Again, this keeps the historical context.

Thanks for hanging in there with me. One of the FanStory people, Mastery, tells me I should slow down and only put one on a week. He's done well with his writing so maybe I should listen. I think Evan wanted me to go to college but it order to go he had to keep working. If we had moved to the country with his job, I couldn't have gone. He didn't act too jealous, but I kept things from him, so he wouldn't think he had a reason to be. I would have been jealous if he was always talking about women he knew.

I enjoyed reading this post. I understand how things go south, but it sound as if you're bouncing back. God works in mysterous ways. I enjoyed reading and can't wait to read more.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is a clearly written account of obligations of a young couple to relocate for career purposes, and how they manage to turn a potentially difficult situation to good advantage. They actually manage to find more spacious accomodation for less rent, and don't move towns in the end. The content gels well with the length of the piece, so we neither become bored nor feel rushed, and there is plenty of variety and excitement provided by a trip to New Orleans.
Spelling: you have a "baton rough" instead of "rouge"

Comment from Sankey
Still a great read and I am glad to hear some of my FS friends have found you as well. Now just a couple of spags.When we left Baton Roug[h](e), we headed back to Jackson
But at that moment, leaving Alexander Street (was)enough to make us feel like celebrating.
