the big move

i've moved before. every year during college i moved twice- to and back from school. but this time its different. this time i'm moving... for good.

this time i actually remove all of my possessions to my new place, my new home. it seems strange to take both summer and winter season clothes, my old yearbooks, my childhood stuffed animals. but i suppose this is a common transition for all young adults on the brink of the rest of their lives.... however, just because its common doesn't mean its easy.

my apartment is nice. 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen and living room. laundry room with coin operated machines, and a garage stall are for my use. clean/bug-free for the most part/cozy.

its so weird. i have no roommates.

i live within walking distance to everything (its a small town) and i'm 2 hours from .... my parents house, my brother and his future wife's house, and my sister and brother-in-law and niece. it is convenient to have everyone living in one city but it is also sad to be the only one missing. oh well. i have a guest room/office/storage room for a reason- guests!

so i should be all moved-in and ready for work sometime next week. i didn't expect to be gone so soon but i'm glad and grateful for a job. oh my. what strange times!
