Well hello. I have been thinking about writing a blog all day, but was too busy to do it. So now, here I am. It is about 8pm, of which I am getting close to falling asleep already. How cool am I?! ha.
Anyways, lots going on, kinda.
I got promoted to assistant manager at CJ Banks at the Valley West Mall. I am pretty excited about that, but now that I am there, I am not sure what else will be expected of me. I hope I get in the groove soon. I do like that mall a lot, except all the construction going on lately. It is kind of closer to home, about 10 minutes shorter. Grant has 2 stores across the street, which I find pretty awesome!! We found an apartment very close, like 5 minutes away that we both really like. It is 2 bedrooms, lots of storage, has washer/dryer, a patio, pool, etc. Oh, and it is on the 1st floor. It is a little more expensive, but I am thinking it would work out since we both would not have to drive as far, and we could save killer on gas money. Also with having laundry facilities just for us will be double triple awesome because that is expensive with as much clothing we have. The kitchen is kind of smaller, but it has more storage. It is more enclosed I guess is how I should explain that. I look forward to moving in there though. Mainly cause of the washer/dryer. haha! and patio! and 1st floor! :D
I have given up on the search for a new car, I think with moving closer to work, I can save more (I hope) and not have to drive as much. And with saving more, I can just wait till I start paying school loans back to see how much I really have left over. I am so scared to get a new car payment with school loans expected in February. My car will last, just not to my preference. If needed, I can spend a little here and there on tweaking it until next summer or something. Prolly just get the AC/Heat fixed. And that leaking problem. From there I should be okay, just not drive long distance in the winter! Gotta make sacrifices somewhere in life.
Today I was thinking (a lot actually... I really need to stop that) and I am wondering why everything comes with a challenge? Why can't anything be easy? But I guess the things we fight for are the things that mean the most. I know that things are tough, but I am so happy that I have someone by my side that I love that I know is not going anywhere and who is going to help when and where he can. Not because he has to, but because he wants to and he loves me.
For as long as I can remember I have always dreamed of my "own place"... What I would do in my spare time, where I would place things, how I would organize things, how I would decorate. And here shortly I will have that chance. Now that I know what the apartment will most likely look like, I am picturing it more and more. I greatly look forward to unpacking everything and organizing my things without living out of tubs, boxes and baskets. I have done that for about 3-4 years now, and I am so ready to just unload and settle down. I know the apartment is not permanent, but I am pretty sure we will be there for over a year. In order to save on getting a house and such.
I hope to start sewing, making jewerly, and scapbooking, etc.... I was telling Grant that we do not need a dining room table, but now I am thinking how great it would be to have one, to use for my creative spunky side! HA!
The more I think of my "perfect home" the more I realize that it will never be perfect, what makes it perfect is who I am coming home to everyday, and who is relaxing next to me. Not the paint on the walls, the mess in the kitchen, the dirty clothes in the hamper, just the person next to me is all that matters in my life. After all these years, it took that long to figure that one out. HA. Thank you LOVE :)
I am not really sure what else to say, I have been reading more, but with as many things I want to read, I am not reading fast enough/ not enough time to read. But I am working on it. Send suggestions for books if you can! :)
I will end this, if anyone reads these.
Peace.
