I'm Still Your Friend!

It has been well over a week since I have posted anything. I am generally really bad at keeping up, but this is pushing it, even for me. In a sense, I feel like I am ignoring my friends. So, here I am, with an update.

As you all know, I was in desperate need of a home. At one point mid-month, I asked myself why I ever got the idea to turn in notice on my apartment. There are pretty slim pickings here in good old Montrose, and I was having no luck finding anything better than what I already had. Now, as I sit in said apartment, I am reminded why I am moving...again. I should be packing boxes right now, but just moving is a challenge. It is so hot that I am afraid if I even adjust myself in my chair too quickly, I will overexert myself and pass out. I survive by carrying around a little fan.

However, I have been blessed. My fiance went into superman mode, and drove down here last saturday, vowing that we would find me an apartment before he left. We found better than that. I am now the proud tenant of a little house. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen. It is one bedroom, one bathroom, and very very tiny. It isn't cramped clausterphobic tiny, but cute tiny. And the owners just finished remodeling, so everything, even the siding on the outside, is brand new. It has an air conditioning, also newly installed, a little patio, and a storage shed. It has a cute little yard, that my landlord will take care of, and a tree. I have also inherited a pet. There is a bird nest on the porch, with two little birds. I demanded that the birds stay.

So, that is my excuse for having been absent from the blogging world. I am in the process of moving into my new home. I promise that I still really like everyone, and that I am not ignoring you. You are still my friends. I also promise to post pictures as soon as Mom gets up here with her camera. You will love it!

So, in my absence, just know that I am here, and I am in the process of figuring out how to fit a large apartment into a small house. And, I am loving every minute of it (and purging a lot of stuff).

There you are! Your mom did tell me you'd found the perfect place to live. Good for you. Won't it be nice once youre in there, with the AC on full blast, to just sink into that at home feeling. Cant wait to see the photos. xooxo

How about me and my Camera come up on Saturday? I'm willing to miss the county fair for it, I'm so excited to see your new nest. Your nest, not the birds'. And not to worry, bloglines lets everyone know when you make it back to cyber space. How about it you just stay where you are and come home and help me with this baby! Kidding. Sort of.

I miss you. I even miss all your stuff all over my house. Every single flat surface in my house. And on loveseat in my bedroom and on the floor in the hall and .....
xoxoxo

Mandy, we all understand. I'd rather take a beating than move, but it's worth all the hassle to have your own place, and especially the air conditioning! :-)

Take care not to get too hot, and good luck with the purging. I've found that I'm not nearly as attached to some things as I used to think I was, especially when it comes down to toss it or move it! :-)

Mandy, I am so happy for you. It's a house! No thoughtless neighbors only a wall away. I'm eager to see it. Love, Grandma.

Mom- I would love for you to come out with your camera! I can't wait to show the blogger world what a cute little find I got!

Grandma - How about you join me, Mom, and her camera, and come with us?

Aunt Bev- How about you join me, Mom, her camera, and Grandam, and come out and see it? What? It's too far of a drive? Oh, okay. I understand. It was worth a try, right?

wondering how the move is going. Have you melted? Will check up on you when I get to Texas, where I fully expect I will melt....completely. xoxoxo

Congratulations, Mandy! That's the best feeling ever, your very first house!! And welcome back:)

I never thought of it that way Sarah. It is so tiny and cute, I forget that it is a little house. My whole life (well, since Mom and Dad booted me off to college) I have lived in dorms and apartments. Yeah!!!

Don't worry everybody! Mom is bringing the camera up tomorrow, and my new post will come soon after!
