New Apartment

Mood: Content
Weather: Fall is freakin coming :( getting cooler. . .cloudy :'( SUMMER COME BACK!

So my boyfriend and I kind of moved on an impulse. . .yes, bad decision.  Not to mention it was when our finances weren't at their greatest. . .So his momma loanded us the money to get the apartment (THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!) and she gave CJ a lot of things for the apartment and bought us a bunch of groceries, all of which we wouldn't have been able to otherwise afford.  My parents gave me some stuff as well which I am very very greatful for.  I had thought about how much we were going to need when we got our own place. . .but I hadn't really thought of everything. . .There are sooo many things we need :P We had to go to walmart the first night in our apartment so we could make, and eat dinner :P I wish we had a cheap bottle of wine that we could drink out of coffee cups to really top off the night on our first night :P but I think that will still happen in the near future.  I think walmart is going to be my bestfriend seeing as it is now 2 miles away as opposed to 30 minutes :P not to mention all the great prices that I now pay attention to :P (As a side note, I would just like to say, GROWING UP SUCKS!! :P ) but no, I really do love my apartment and I think its going to work out great, we just need a month or two and we will be on our feet and set, I'm going to do what I can to get a job by next weekend (I put my 2 week notice in at Mercato's) and CJ wants to get a second part time job on top of his full-time, well paying job.  I'm optimistic.  :) But anywho, my apartment is a large 1 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment.  Its on the 1st floor next door to a private college, in a very nice part of town.  It has a small back yard, coin operated laundry in the building, stove (electric) and refrigerator.  Its really cute, and the kitchen has a bar :) There are huge closets and cabinets every where and everything is well lit.  The apartment also has a lot of windows.  Its really great :) And I get to have Jack without extra pay :) Its $700/month with heat and hot water included.  :) Love it!!!! Pictures soon :)

Moving

I moved yesterday. . .to an hour away from where I've lived for the last 10 years.  I've been looking forward to moving and getting out of Canajoharie for quite a while, and all of a sudden (and I mean, all of a sudden :P ) my new boyfriend and I move an hour away to Schenectady.  I am very excited and happy to be living with CJ, but the other day. . .but when I was up in the attic looking for my mom's extra set of pots an pans. . .It hit me.  I'm moving out.  I'm no longer living at home. . .I'm growing up.  When did that happen?  When did I grow up?  I guess the thought crossed my mind: Am I ready?  I found some things in the attic. . .my knick knacks that I had in my room in Amsterdam that I hadn't seen since I moved to Canajoharie (porcelain bears and dolls), my teddy bears, things from my childhood, etc.  Idk. . .it just kinda hit me.  I didn't cry.  I didn't have a panic attack.  I just kinda stood there. . .thinking. . .feeling.  I got over it quickly and haven't really felt that way since.  But it does surprise me that I'm. . .all grown up :) Well :p sorta :p.  I loved moving, I was very excited about it and I can't wait to really start decorating and having things :)  I hope to find a new job by next weekend so I can start helping to pay for things because we really do need so much. . .but its fun.  Every minute is an adventure :)
