1.) I officially graduated
2.) I passed the NCLEX and got my RN license
3.) I got married
4.) I got a job
5.) We're moving (yes... again)
These would be all of the reasons I've neglected this lovely blog creature for the past three months or so. My original plan was to start writing on the status of the wedding and show off all the cool things I was making/doing for it. Yeah... Didn't happen obviously.. slightly disappointing but yeah. Maybe now that I'll a "regular life" with "free time" (this is what my cousin told me, but I'm not so sure it exists or at least it's been on hiatus from my life for quite some time now), I can do a little something on it but at this point it seems a little pointless so we'll see what happens, but here are a few pics anyway.
The job and the move part all kind of go hand in hand. For awhile now Brett has been driving an hour for work because our lease wasn't up and we were waiting to see where I ended up getting a job. This week I finally got said job and since this mean a 30-45 minute commute for me in the same direction Brett was going it only made sense to find a house on the other side of town.
Today we decided to go drive around the area and see what we could find because there wasn't much online. The one that we found online we went to check out and it was SO tiny and they were asking for more than we pay at our current place. Seriously I was claustrophobic in this place, in fact I'm getting anxiety just thinking about it so lets move on. This first house wasn't far from where I work so I decided that I would take Brett by the house I found on my way to my first interview. The neighbors probably thought I was pretty creepy the first time I drove by it because I circled around like five times (no exaggeration). The next day I had a second interview and drove by about two or three more times. Stalker status! I have no idea why I kept driving by but something just kept pulling me back. Today when we went by the landlord just so happened to be out on the front deck working on the house so we walked up to see if he would show it to us. The guy was super nice and the house is almost exactly what we were looking for. Three bedrooms (large ones at that), only one bathroom (that was the almost perfect part), it's on a large lot with a fenced backyard, a large kitchen, and two living rooms (I think we're going to make one the dining room to leave more room in the kitchen). It's super old (built in 1899 but well taken care of) and has the quorkiness of an old house but I think it's really going to work well for us. The even better part is that it's only three or four blocks from my new job. Hello not having to wake up even earlier than necessary because I have to drive 45 minutes (or an hour because of traffic)! But yes, we are very excited about the house and all the new things in our life. Once we get all moved in I'll post pictures.... and in a timely matter. Promise!
