Kentucky Here We come!

Louisville, Kentucky

February 20, 2016 6:51am CST

My brother finally got another job! All he has to do is wait for the results of his drug and background tests which will be no problem. The property he will be managing will be in Louisville, Kentucky. The apartments are the standard ones, no more student housing. Yay! Right now, they are saying that they want him to start the second week in March. Once his drug and background tests come back, they will give him an exact date to start. He is so excited! He can finally get away from the employees who has made his life hell for over a year now. I'm excited for him and for us. I've never really been to Kentucky before. My brother has lived there before and said they have the Kentucky Derby there in Louisville so that is exciting. We will be a little further away from my kids and grandkids, about 5 hours, but that still isn't too bad. We can still visit with them over weekends. Our prayers have been answered and I am so happy!

Yes, roll on! You are right, he has been so unhappy and has endured it for a year now. I am happy for both of us but more happy for him.

Thank you Anna! No, it's not that far and although it's a little farther from my kids, it's not far enough to where we couldn't go visit over a weekend.

He is so happy and will give his notice on Monday. He has been through so much here and I personally don't know how he is done it. I know I couldn't have done it and I admire and respect him for it.

Louisville (Lewville) was one of the places we visited. There is a nice museum at Churchill Downs. Also one about Louis and Clark across the river in Indiana.

The last time I was in Louisville was in 1977--bet it has changed a lot since then but I am sure the Kentucky Derby is just as much fun!!!

I've never been to Louisville before. As a child, we traveled through Hickman, KY but I don't really remember it. Other than that, I have never really been in Kentucky before.

I am so happy for you and your brother and you will love Louisville, Kentucky as it is beautiful country. Won't it be amazing if you can watch the Kentucky Derby while living there? I have always wanted to see the Derby but never made it. I am so excited for you and your brother.

Thank you Marcy! We are so happy to be moving. My brother has lived there before but it's been over 20 years ago. I would love to see the Kentucky Derby. We probably can't do it this year but maybe next year.

@simone10 Packing is awful. You just don't know how much stuff you have until you have to pack it. Then it seems never ending.
