Brian and I went to College Station over the weekend to look for a new place. (We're still waiting to hear if he is accepted or not, which we should hear by the end of the month or at least the 1st of next month) But, we went and I forgot how tiring it is looking for a new place. We started at about 10am and we didn't stop until around 5pm... the entire day ... apartment after condo after apartment... they all looked the same by the end of the day. I just about went crazy.
Seriously... I thought it was bad enough, but poor Brian was just about to fall on the floor and cry. Like a toddler throwing themselves on the floor in a tantrum ... that is how i felt by the end of the day. I just wanted to throw myself down and scream and cry and yell, "i don't wanna"!! I mean they all looked alike and by the end of the day I couldn't remember what made each place different... what I did or didn't like. I meant to take notes on everything, but somehow I failed to make enough notes to actually make a difference in making a decision. What makes it even worse is that we really don't have that much time until our lease is up and even less time to actually look for a place... but we can't make ANY decision until we hear from the school. The whole situation is really stressing me out. I'm trying not to let it get to me, but it is. I had a really hard time sleeping last night... and the night before all I could do is think about everything that has to be done before we move. And trying to go over the floorplans in my head and trying hard to remember what they all look like... And trying to make sure that we've gone through ALL the OPTIONS ... We've pretty much decided that after the move we're going to get a puppy and name him Patton; so I want to make sure that we have room for a "new addition" as well.so I failed to mention the last few days that my sister, jessica, came home from Army Reserves boot camp/ training. I've been too busy to upload the photos of our night out after she came home. I'll do that soon. but to say the least I was really happy that she came home. She'll be leaving soon for a weekend of "duty" soon, but I'm not too worried about that. She's also sometime this summer has to do her "time" 2 weeks of "in service" which I am just praying to GOD that she DOESN'T have to go to Iraq. I would HATE that and would cry often about it if she did. I also officially registered for my 1st culinary arts class which starts at the end of the month. I'm totally excited about the entire situation. I bought all my supplies. Knives, Uniform, Book, ECT. ECT.ECT. everything was so freakin expensive, but I know in my heart it will be worth it.
Brian and I have pretty much decided that we're moving to college station in July,most probably. Details are still working themselves out, but we hope that everything falls into place and we'll be settled by the fall so that he can start grad school at A&M university. And I'll have a good job there that will allow me good pay ... and also the opportunity to go back to night school. None of the schools there have Culinary programs, BUT ... I still have a LOT of basics I need to get done, so I can focus on those for the time we're there, which will probably be about 18months-2 years. Then, wherever we go after that, I'll probably try and get back into a culinary program... but that's sometime from now ... plenty of time to think. I'm really excited about the move, scared, but excited. When we move after about a month of being 'settled' we're going to get a boxer puppy. (depending on finances- of course).... but that's the plan! I cant wait!!! BUT, yea... so that's a little update on me. I'll have pictures of my sister's coming home party... ASAP.
