my mom, sister and i are moving out of the mess formerly referred to as home, and into a little place of our own within the next couple of months. Cliche as it may sound, dysfunctional does not describe the relationship we all have with each other well enough, so we’re leaving my drug-hooked brother and gambling dad to fend for themselves. Sounds terrible, right? It’s not. We’ve mused on this plan before, but this time we’re following through. When Megan and I were going to move out back in March, we had bought absolutely everything we would have needed, down to a fondue pot and bathroom towels. : )
We’re all set to go, really, and my mom has an aunt who is looking to sell her rental property. Rumour is it’s in disrepair, but how much fun would it be to fix up a dilapidated old place and turn it into something beautiful? I can’t wait for this new beginning. : ) : )

How I did it: We're going to turn it into a place we love. Right now, it still feels like a temporary home, as we're still moving in. It will take time for it to feel completely comfortable, but i'm hoping once we're settled it will be far better than where we were... Read how I did it…
How I did it: I'm marking this goal as completed, because I recently have taken up journaling, a long-discarded hobby of mine. I decided to keep a journal again solely for the sake of preserving memories that aren't coupled with a photo, or to enhance the ones that are. I fear forgetting. It's a great way to get perspective on your life too, as it not only chronicles events, but is a catalyst and leads me to recording my thoughts about those events. … Read how I did it…
