I'm so excited!

Matt and I have our 1 year anniversary coming up next week! I can't believe how fast the time has flown, it's been amazing so far. So, for our anniversary, Matt and I are heading down to Las Vegas! Neither of us has ever been before, and we're both super excited! We're staying at the Stratosphere, and we'll be there for 3 nights and roughly 4 days. We know we need to see the water show at The Bellagio, and the volcano at the Mirage, but if anyone else can think of any more free or inexpensive things to do while we're down there, we're open to hear them! Please let us know! Thanks!!!

I'm such a slacker.

I must apologize to my friends, I have not logged into blogger in soo long. And I haven't been letting any of you know what's been going on in our lives. Matt and I have been working hard, and we had our good friend Jenn help us set up a budget so that we can get it together. We are planning to leave for Vegas next Thursday or early Friday for our anniversary! I can't believe its almost been one year! It's gone by so fast! I love being married to my best friend! And I'm sad for all the ladies at work that are constantly complaining about their husbands, or vice versa. We are so happy, and I know that we always will be, I'm not saying it will be easy, but I think some people forget that marriage is still work, and the minute something doesn't go their way, that's it, they give up and start thinking negatively. I hope I never forget how I have felt this first year, and that when things may get bad, I still love him more.

It's ummm....

I should be sleeping now, but I just can't. Have you ever done something, not that you necessarily regret (because it needed to be done one way or another) but that you wish you'd handled differently. I don't have many moments in my life that I feel that way about, but I do have 1 or 2. I'm the type of person that will lie awake over these types of things too, oh and missed birthdays! And there isn't much I can do to fix them, there's nothing I can do actually. I guess it just feels good to write it down, so I don't forget and make the same mistake again. Otherwise I'd probably never be able to sleep.

Updates!

So, I'm up late, hanging out because I wasn't quite tired although Matt was. I suddenly had this hankering to blog! I'm watching Bones now, and I have to admit, I pretty much love it. 

So, moving on! As most of you know (because you RELIGIOUSLY read our blog... lol) Matt and I have been informed that my grandparents finally sold the house! (YAY FOR THEM!!) It is pretty bitter-sweet. I'll miss the house because I have a lot of good memories here, and I especially love the "rent". But I am happy that someone finally took interest in the place, and my grandparents can rest easy again. I just hope that whoever moves in loves it as much as I do. I know they'll change it to suit them, and I really hope they do because it could use a little update, but the fact is, my grandpa built it and it will always be the same to me. AND... moving on again. Last Friday I went around with my good friend Janell whom I knew in high school, and lost touch with a few years ago, but recently found again, to look at some different apartments. I did it as organized as possible, I looked online and found some with suitable prices and the right amenities and wrote them down, address and whatever else I needed to recall why I had picked that place. Well, we went to a few whose prices were "off" on the website, and then a few where I was actually afraid to get out of the car, and I was driving to one place, Janell suggested one that I hadn't written down. So, we headed there, and when we got there the outside was super nice, then we went into the leasing office and everyone there was very nice, and then we saw the CUTE apartments! AND they were having a special! We totally lucked out, THEN I found out that their office was open until 8pm instead of 5 or 6 like most other places. You see, my original idea was to scope out some good ones and take Matt on Saturday and choose from there. Well, instead, I brought Matt to this place after work on Friday because they're open so late. Matt LOVED them too! So, in one day, I found a place that both of us liked, in a good neighborhood, for a great price and signed the papers! We move in on June 6th! Anyone who would like to come up that morning and help us get moved is welcome and appreciated! I'm so so excited. Now I just have to find boxes and pack.... =( this is the part I wish I could skip. =)

One by one they all fall down...

So, one stressful obstacle down, and several more to go! I passed my TSA testing with flying colors and wow... thank goodness I don't have to do that again until next year. =)  

I'm really excited to move actually, still stressed about finding a place, but I know Matt and I will be fine. And Matt gave me some pretty good news today as to what "might" happen with our new place. But I can't say anything because nothing is set in stone just yet, but the news made me real excited! 

Matt is getting paid on Friday and hallelujah because even with our savings, its starting to get a bit tight on my part time salary alone. (For those of you that didn't know, when Matt gave his two weeks notice at the last place, they stopped scheduling him to work, so he's been paycheck-less for about a month)

Things are looking up. YAY!

Looking for a place to call home.

So, my Aunt called tonight to let me know that my grandparents sold the house today. After almost 2 years on the market, it finally sold. I was almost praying for it the other day when we went to the Animal shelter and saw all the homeless animals. I really want a pet but we can't while living here. We have until June 15th, so its a little crazy and I also have my TSA testing this week which I'm so so nervous for. This really couldn't have happened at a worse time. Matt is just starting a job, a job that makes him work M-F from 8-5 (same hours as all apartment leasing offices). I guess I just wasn't really expecting it to happen so soon. My mind is all over the place and I can hardly think straight. I really like the Stillwater Apartments, they're inexpensive and in a nice area. Matt found some awesome deals on two bedroom condos downtown, so I'm hoping we hear back from them soon. I'll be calling all over tomorrow during breaks. It stinks because Matt and I really only have Saturdays to look. Its so frustrating. We have less than 3o days to find a place! AAAAHH! I can't believe this. I'm literally freaking out and there is nothing I can do now, at this hour of the night! I'm totally not going to be able to sleep! UGH! AND I HAVE TO TEST ON TUESDAY! I'm literally FREAKING OUT! If you could only see me. I might implode. At least Matt found a good job. Sheesh.
