My super-senior year college roommate, Gemma, just got engaged and asked me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding next May. Though I’ve never been part of a wedding party and that’s plenty to get excited about, this wedding will be my second chance to catch a bouquet! I may have failed to catch Gayle’s, but I will not fail to catch Gemma’s. No way.

Okay, assuming I don’t go and permanently injure myself in any way, from now on I’m doing as many push ups as I am capable of doing every night until I start to see some results. Furthermore, I will continue to eat healthy, count my calories, and engage in low impact cardio to help things along.
I have been in my box of an apartment for four years now. It was fine when I was a new college grad and didn’t have much stuff, but I’ve outgrown the place.
I’m 30 years old. I should not be living like a college student anymore. I need a place where I can spread out. A place with a full kitchen and reliable heat in the winter. A place I’m not ashamed to show my friends. I want a studio or one bedroom I can actually afford. Moreoever, I’d like to live in White Plains. I like the area and could probably find a good deal on an apartment if I looked hard enough.
However, there are financial concerns. I’m paying up the ass for physical therapy right now, and that needs to be a priority until I can find a way to get my health insurence to pay for it. So, moving right now isn’t an option.
When I made the decision to move out of my mom’s house I said I wouldn’t make the move until I had accumulated 10K in my savings account to cover moving costs and first months rent. I think that’s a good place to start. Right now I have 6K in my savings account. I’m going to try to continue putting money in when I can, and when I reach my goal of 10K I will reassess my finances and determine if a move is affordable and logistically possible.
