It's all Coming Together Now

Now that I have my boyfriend back, we have spent the majority of our time together blissfully being lazy and pretending like we don't have a whole lot to do. But the time has come for us to get back in gear and plan for our move back home.

Actually, things are already starting to come together. Last week we made an extremely short trip (I think we were there less than 24 hours) to Atlanta to look at some apartments. We decided to look in the same area that we had been living in before we left, because we know it well and really enjoyed living there. So after looking at three different places, we mulled it over for a few days, and finally decided on a place at Post Brookhaven.

This apartment should meet our needs well for several reasons: 1) It should be large enough to fit the incredibly large amount of crap that we have accrued over our short lifespans on this earth, 2) It has a nice sunroom area which should work well as an office for Dave, a necessity now that he will be working from home, 3) It is on the bottom floor, so it should be easy to move in and out of. This is especially important since we will only be there for seven months. And, lastly, 4) It had the best price for the amount of space we will have, and is not in a ghetto complex with poor management (unlike one place we looked at that had really great prices with very spacious apartments but that we could tell was very poorly managed, and overall, just seemed a little sketchy).

You may be wondering why we are only going to live in this apartment for seven months. Well, our great new idea and goal once we return to Atlanta, is to put ourselves on a budget, so that we can aggressively save up and plan to buy a house to move into....YAY! And then we are never ever ever ever moving ever again!!!

So at this point, I have three more days left of work at High Point Regional. I'll be done early in the morning on August 16th, which just so happens to be my birthday. (No more work= an awesome birthday present to myself!) Then on August 20th, we get to go to the beach for 4 days.... double yay!! And finally, we'll come back to Greensboro, pack our sh*t up, and get the hell outta here! Can you tell I'm ready?

P.S. We will be accepting any willing volunteers who can help us move from Greensboro to Atlanta, and once we get back to Atlanta, move stuff out of our storage unit and into our new place. I know, we suck, but like I said, we are on a budget!

P.P.S. We will pay you in beer (or liquor if you prefer)! ;)
