move

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow!! I’m moving from 7am-9am, then working til 6pm, then continuing to move. Tonight I’ve got to finish packing (YIKES!) and go visit my parents. I can’t wait til this week is over!

I have lived in this small town for about 7 years, and I have hated every minute of it. I want to go to the grocery store without knowing anybody. I hate living next to my in-laws! I want to see young people, not a bunch of retirees. I would love to go to a real mall and eat at places that not everyone has tried. I want my daughter to know what diversity is. I NEED out of here, this goal is a MUST.

My life is beautiful becasue i have the best family.my children and husband keep me very happy.but i’m tierd of lloydminster it is boring dull and there is never anything fun or interesting to do.everything is all about material objects and being fake.i need change and i need somthing iteresting to happen in my life i want great shops to go and look at i want a place were i can walka dn not feel like a bum becasue i’m walking around and looking at things and going to ggreat shops.i want new friends were they are not a bunch of sillies walking around and talking about clothes and kids(yes i love my kids but that is not all that i want to talk about)i want an life full of art and culture and intalectual conversations i want to have partys with great poeple who you can actually talk to and not just here there complaints.i want to be surrounded by great positive poeple.so for any advise on where to find that lol please leave so advice lol.

1. My apartment is way overpriced (like $200 a month higher than it should be)
2. My roommate is annoying and keeps me up at odd hours because she invites loud people over at 1 am without even mentioning it to me first. (The apartment is small so having a few loud drunk people in the living room will prevent me from sleeping).
3. Not close to work – although I doubt I’m going to be able to get closer if I get my own place, rental prices being what they are.
4. I love cooking and it’s difficult to do because I have to share the kitchen.
5. I just love quiet and privacy. I don’t have a lot of stuff, so size isn’t really a priority as long as I have the place to myself :)

That’s about it. My lease has another 8 months on it :(

My boyfriend and I chose to use Mayflower for our move. We’ve packed several boxes, but still have alot of odds and ends to pack, plus entire kitchen. I was able to find a nice size crate to put my cat in while I travel to FL to NC. The price was only $10, sturdy plastic, and found at a garage sale. I love garage sales, but have been trying to cut back; I don’t want to end up with more stuff to move.

I’m nervous about the move because I will be traveling by myself in a separate car with my cat (my boyfriend will be traveling with his dachshunds in his own car). To put my mind at ease, and to help when I get settled (I get lost very easily), I splurged on a GPS system for the car. Hope this helps.

Everything is going pretty smoothly so far. A lot of stress involved as I’ve never had this extensive of a move before. At least we have access to free boxes.

Tomorrow I will be traveling to the local Social Security Department to get a copy of my SSN card, which is required by NC to transfer driver licenses. Each day something new comes up required for this move. I hope that I will have everything covered by the end of the month.

“Were you looking for something more in the shack style? Perhaps a hovel? Shanty is very popular this season, as well.”

Those have pretty much been the places that I’ve looked at. A couple of them were so bad that I couldn’t believe that, first of all, anyone had actually lived there in the past 150 years and secondly, that the places hadn’t been condemed. The one place that was actually liveable was in a large house that had been converted into three apartments. The only issue there was the fact that the lady living downstairs was a super-nice meth addict.

I talked to a landlady of another very promising rental and we were getting along great until she said “no pets”. My 12yr old cat is not optional. I am not a disposable-pet-for-my-own-convenience kind of person (I hate those people and I wish terrible things for them).

I think at this point it would be wise to tough it out where I am for a few more months, if at all possible, build the garage and live in it until I can figure out what to do.

This roommate thing is killing me. Until I can build a house I need to move out of the place I’m in right now and be by myself for a while.

I started packing a few boxes tonight and tomorrow a moving company will be giving us an estimate. Thankfully we don’t have much furniture, but we’ll have tons of boxes by the time we’re through. Some of the stuff I’ll will take with me personally, such as the computers I have and pictures, as well as a few items that I don’t want to lose or have broken.

About a year before I left Calif, I KNEW, before I had any reason to know, that it was my last year there. I began getting rid of unneeded stuff and daydreaming about where I would go. I had no real plan, but just knew it was time and that I’d be moving. I thought it might be Boise, where my daughter lived. I like Boise and had found a cute little house there in a cute neighborhood.
But lo and behold, I re-met the man who is now my hubby, and I ended up moving, not to Boise, but to southwest WA. Who knew!

For many months now, I’ve KNOWN it was time to leave here. I began getting rid of stuff again and dreaming of where we might go. I was thinking Florida! Both for my love of sun and warmth and because a daughter now lives there. But lo and behold, hubby found a job in northern ID, so off we are going to live there!
It is very beautiful country there, lakes, mountains, pines, and I very much love Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint, among other things about the area. They get more sun and warmth that we do here (although not nearly as much as Florida, damitol!)

I found a house I just love, so cute, a lot of wood inside, set among the pine trees, room for the dogs, for hubby, and even for me!

Soooooo,,,, keep your fingers and toes crossed for me that it turns out to be the right house for us, or if not, that we find the one that is, soon!

:D

Ok… well I could say this will be a long process. I could just say I mean moving from my dorm room back to my mom’s house in a couple of weeks… but that isn’t really what I mean. I mean move out of my mom’s house into my own apartment/house. I’m 20. I’m old. It’s time for me to get moving. I love my mom, and I will stay close by her… I won’t ever move too far away from my mom… but I still want my own apartment/house.
