    Eliza Marie is feeling great!

    So.... Been really working hard on this! 3 weeks ago

    I got preapproved… and well.. the exciting part is that I put in an offer to a house that I love!!! Ok so the offer is super low but who knows.. they can say no right or they can say YES and i could get an amazing deal! but.. I am trying to not put too much emotion in right now… Its a waiting game now.

    Well, I'm no longer living with the rents... 3 months ago

    I’m not a in a full fledged apartment yet, though I did live in a corporate apartment for 4 months 2 years ago.

    I’m kind of inching toward my own place. Not really because I’m that co-dependent, but due to finances.

    That, and I plan to study abroad in the spring next year.

    Afterwards I’m going to probably move to Florida and move into a “split” room situation until I manage to save enough up so that I get my own car/place.

    I'm working on this - but slowly 4 months ago

    Owning my own home is something of a raison d’etre for me. I’ve always liked making my own space comfortable and feeling that it was my little haven.

    So I’ve decided that losing out on my dream of owning my old family home is no bad thing after all. It was really upsetting but I’m trying to turn it into a positive. It’s not by the sea and my ultimate dream is to own my own house by the sea. So I’m going to focus on that and see what can be done to move towards that goal.

    Of course budget is an issue but I’m going to start by doing a bit of research – that won’t cost anything.

    Well, he’s all moved in, got moved in back in November. I’m still in the apartment until after the wedding, but I hate having to leave at the end of the weekends. Just three more months and I’ll be in there preminantly.
