My New Home

Its official! I am now living as an idependent woman in my cute apartment. I am absolutely loving it at this point in time. All I have left to do is finish hanging my wall decorations and then it is complete :-) I figure that I better enjoy every moment I have because the next step for a living situation will be with my future husband and hopefully eventually children. Then, all privacy dissappears! I can only agree to this because I remember all the times I would interrupt my parents while they were showering, using the bathroom, watching tv and even sleeping! I find myself looking around my apartment and then smiling. After I do the hanging today I will take pics and post it on facebook to share with everyone. I am very proud of this! Come over anytime. Mi Casa es Su Casa ;-)

New Beginings

In everyones life one door closes and another opens. I have made a decision that will take me on another journey in my life. I am going to branch out and move into my own place. It will be sad to not see Candi and Caleb everyday, but it is something that will make us all grow.
I have lived at 349 George Street for a little over 2 years and let me tell you, it has a lot of fabulous and unforgetable memories in it. It started out with 5 of us when I first moved in and, then 6, then it dropped down to 3. Out of all of those changes, the 3 of us was the best! Candi and Caleb are two of my greatest friends and they are also apart of my family. In some ways, they have helped shape me into the woman I am today.
I was a little worried that when the time came that I would decide to branch out, that they would have been a little dissappointed. I was wrong of course. The whole idea will be great for all of us. Candi and Caleb have been married for almost 1 year and are starting the process of starting their own family. It is time for them to grow as a married couple without a single girl living with them :-) It is also time for me to experience some more independence. This, I am very eager and excited about.
I have emailed the company I formerly rented off of. Right now there are 2 apartments available at this time. Super exciting. I am hoping to sometime next week get a tour of them. It wouldnt be until mid-april that I would want to move in. I need some time to organize all of my stuff and still pay the rent at 349 for April. I am dreading the move itself, but I am excited to be somewhere new and decorate it and make it MY OWN. Not as exciting as owning my own place, but its the next best thing.
I am going to miss seeing Candi and Caleb everyday, but I know our friendship is so much more than just a friendship and that we will keep close touch and hopefully see eachother often.
Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I makes these changes in my life.

Celebrity Date

So, I was watching Live with Regis and Kelly today and they are having a contest for a date with Taylor Hicks. I thought, what the hell lets apply! So, I made an account on their website and answered all their questions for the contest. What are the chances that I will win? Very slim! But wouldn't it be so cool to say that I went on a date with Taylor Hicks? Sure, it isn't Brad Pitt, but he is a winner of American Idol. That would be kick ass! I highly doubt I win, but just the thought will be exciting enough for me. I know, I'm silly, but its fun!

I must be dreamin

It is official! I am going to visit Carlyn in Italy May 6-16th! Somebody pinch me. It feels like a dream. Nothing this exciting happens to me! If it weren't for Candi encouraging me and printing out an application for a passport, I probably would never had considered it.
I don't know what I am more excited about. Its all so exciting. I am just excited to be able to leave my life in the states behind me for a few days and take it all in. I hope that I have a growing experience and that it helps me to figure my life out a little better.
I sent my application for my passport in and should hopefully get it in 2 weeks. I booked my flights today. Now, its just the waiting game. I can't wait to go and I am excited to share my experience with everyone.

I don't want a pitty party

For the most part, I feel like I have been blessed with a great life. I have not had any tragic events in my life (with the exception of deaths of family/friends). I have an awesome and loving family and a great network of friends. I wouldn't change them for anything in the world. I have a great stable job, that when its all said and done, I absolutely love. I guess I am just feeling like my life is at a standstill.
One night, by best friend asked me if I was okay. Feeling that I was, I responded with a yes. Then as I was laying in bed, doing my nightly praying, I thought about what she asked me. A lightbulb went off and I thought to myself...I am depressed. I have never been depressed and therefore didn't know what it felt like to be depressed. It took that simple little question she asked for me to realize that I had a problem.
Where is the excitement in my life? I feel that all I do is eat, sleep, work, do laundry, house work, and errands. Thats what my life consists of! What can I do to bring some excitement in my life? I am running out of ideas. Now, I am not asking for anything extreme. I enjoy going out with my friends every once and a while, but the whole bar scene just isnt as appealing as it was a year ago. I guess there comes a time in ones life when they outgrow that, and luckily mine ended in my early twenties.
Anyways, if anyone has any ideas please share them with me. I love my life, I really do. I just need something with a little excitement!
