Obviously I have been very anxious to move {I am sure I point out many down falls of apartment living} I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, we will be moving in 68 days {yes, I counted} I have turned in our "notice" to our apartments letting them know they can have their stupid apartment back in September. I then realized we have lived here almost FOUR years. Wow, that is nuts, and it sure wasn't the plan. But I figure we saved a lot of money by not paying new deposits and paying movers the last four years. I also realized that we have accumulated a lot of "stuff" in the last four years, and another tenant :) I keep hearing myself say that all I need is "more space" or we just need "a garage" or if only we had "a basement" or " a yard" ...... if only we had these things my life would magically be easier. So I got to thinking, am I putting to much pressure on this new home of ours? Can a house really solve so many problems for me? I sure hope so, because as I begin to dig through my closet I just keep thinking "if only I had more space" so hopefully when I do have the space I will be pleased and finally feel organized. At this point I feel as though I can only clean to a point, and then there is just nowhere else to put things, so its either a stack here, or a stack there. Maybe I just need to get rid of more things, but it seems I donate all the time and a little troll keeps bringing stuff back in and putting it in my closet! Yet another stresser on me at this moment is finding a home. I know that usually homes don't go up for rent until about a month before they need new tenants {many property managers have informed me of this when I call about their August listings} but, I want to know where I am going to live, I feel like waiting until a month before is cutting it close, even though I know there will be plenty to choose from {well I hope there is} I still feel like my life is up in the air while we have told our apartments we are leaving yet have no place to leave to. I guess I'll feel better in about a month when I can finally start looking at real options for a nice place to settle down for awhile {well, I hope we will find a place who would like people to stay more than a year, we'll just have to hope for the best} I don't see why they wouldn't want good people who take care of the home and pay rent on time to stay, unless they just love that big old deposit they get with each new tenant. I figure I will slowly dig through my belongings and start to pack things I do not need right now{like our winter coats....its SO hot out lately I don't even want to see them} I am going to try and not stress too much about the move, and the fact that we don't have a place to move at this moment in time. I can only hope that my future home will solve my problems, whatever home gets the job has some work to do.
