It's mostly about me, but I added a relationship trigger just in case.
my SO just got a really, really good offer, so it looks like we'll be moving to Philly at the end of the month. It's so exciting, but scary at the same time. A whole new city, a whole new state. It was a big deal to me just to move the 40 miles upstate I did when we first started living together, only two months ago and now...wow. It's weird, I feel so grown up anymore. I'm busy ALL the time and I'm saying things like "You need to call that place, because they're check hasn't cleared." Who says stuff like that? My MOTHER says stuff like that! It's funny, but at the same time sometimes I just look at my life and it's like WHOA! Where did all this come from??
Three months ago I was living with my sister, her boyfriend, my mom, and their dog with my son in a two bedroom apartment earning 6.85 (seven after Ohio raised the minimum wage) an hour. Matt and I shared a bed both because cosleeping is fun and cozy, but also because there was no room for his bed.
I'm not saying I had it worse than anyone else, just pointing out that things are very different than what they used to be. I kinda never thought this would happen. If we go back a full year, there were some pretty tragic BR posts I was making. It's hard to believe how far I've come in just one single year. It's kind of opened my eyes to the fact that you really can't tell what's going to happen, even in a short time. When you're at your lowest, things can turn around in as little as a day. It's the strangest thing.
And I've run way off topic here, the point is I'm moving to philadelphia. I never imagined I'd end up there, but I'm excited and looking forward to it. Let's hope I find work with the quickness!
Awww... I'm happy for you! :)
Good luck with the move, new states are an awesome change. My bff was just on tour and went to Pittsburgh actually, said it was great ... and my friend moved from Mpls to Philly a few years ago (now in Chicago) but she LOVED it ...
Congrats! I'm glad things have gotten so much better for you. I know a lot of people who decided to move to Philly, and from what I hear, it's wonderful. Good luck!
I am really happy for you.
yaaay philly. i love it there
I am so happy for you girl. Things really have been looking up for you and you definitely deserve it! I hope Philly is awesome for you. :D
YAY!
Congrats!
That's so exciting!
thats really cool. im glad things are going so well for you. good luck with the move :D
Thanks everybody. I'm really excited about this. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is packing this house up into boxes again. I've only now gotten them all unpacked! I broke down the cardboard and recycled it! Now I have to pack this whole place up again and who knows what kind of apartment we'll have. Thats kind of depressing. The idea of taking everything off the walls, making this place back into the empty non-home it was when we moved in. :( I hope we get a good place. I like my townhouse.
That's awesome! The moving part, I mean.
It's amazing how much our lives can change in a short period of time. I was thinking about that the other day, looking back on where I've been and where I am now. It's good to know that we can make it!
