Moving...

I still can’t believe it has been two years since I have moved out of my parents’ house. It really does seem like last week that I moved out. Time sure does fly. I’ve had a lot of good times, bad times, and sad times in that apartment. I would have friends over and we would have Shake and Bake night. Gotta luv the Shake and Bake! There were plenty of nights that my little sisters would come and spend the night. They just loved coming to be with their Sissie. I would have Grey’s nights, and I also had plenty of nights where my bestie would come over and we would just hang out. Sometimes we would talk all night, and sometimes we would just sit and watch TV and say nothing. Either way, it was great just to be with her.

It was in my apartment that I received the phone call from her that she had cancer. It was also in my apartment that I received the news that she was cancer free. It was there that she sat on my couch and broke the news to me that she would be moving to Florida. It was there that we said our final goodbyes before she left for Florida. There are too many memories in that apartment. It will definitely be hard to see it go. To say goodbye to a place that has so many memories in that very short time.

In 11 days I will officially be out of my apartment. That is the day when my lease is up. I am moving back home with my parents. Student loans are coming due, and I just can't afford to live by myself anymore. It sucks being 31 and moving back home, but I have to do what I have to do. It is just that I'm going from an apartment of 1 to a house of 6 with 2 dogs. It will definitely be a change going back to that.

I have been staying at my parents’ house some, but I knew if I just didn't want to deal with it I could go home. But now where will I go? I won't be able to get away from the chaos. Going to my room just won’t be the same. I am staying in my little sister’s room until my room is finished. Hopefully that won't be too much longer. My parents are actually going to be finishing the basement so I can move in down there. I will have my own little apartment down there. I will have a living room, bedroom, and bathroom. It will be nice. But it needs to be finished. Hopefully it won’t be long. My goal is by August that it will be done. I would LOVE for it to be done before then, but we will see.
