Sunday, Rainy Sunday

We finished moving a lot of stuff out of Bill's apartment and into storage today (well, he moved stuff while I wrapped things in newspaper and cleaned a few things). It's pretty gloomy in Fort Worth today and I love it. It's supposed to rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, too (though I'm not getting my hopes up because of this darn Texas weather)... that would make me a happy girl.

Friday we celebrated my friend Jackie's birthday. Yesterday we got to hang out at my bff, Allison's new house. Agh, I want to steal.it. It's a perfect first home for her and her boyfriend and has so much potential. Everything looks pretty vintage right now (which I adore), but they have plans to knock down some walls, spruce it up with some paint and new furniture and make it their own. SO happy for them both. And excited to attend many get-togethers in the future.

After being at Al and Justin's... Bill and I caught a major case of House Fever. (My baby fever has kind of worn off- which is good, because I would definitely prefer a house to come before any future offspring. Also, apartment living with 3 animals in our teeny space has cured puppy fever. So- house fever is making me the sickest these days.)

We talked about it a little yesterday at Ozzy Rabbit's and we think we'll be ready to purchase a home in the next two years. I made a lot of financial mistakes in my late teens/early twenties and have s-loads of debt. Not to mention student loans, medical bills and the fact that I basically live paycheck to paycheck at this point. It's a drag. Sooo... I have a lot of work to do in the next couple of years to prepare myself for home ownership. I'd also like to find a job that I can stand to be at 40 hours a week and finish up school quickly... but that's another story. Lots of changes to make.

Enough singing the blues... Bill and I also decided yesterday that we're going to try to take a long weekend after Thanksgiving and go to New York to visit some of his friends- and hopefully some of mine, too. I'm pretty effin' excited, as I haven't been to NYC since I was 10- and I mean... I was there to perform and barely remember seeing the sights.

We're also going to PUERTO RICO (!!!) at the end of May. Bill's parents live there- we'll be staying with them and partying it up for a week. SO very excited. I'll be spending my 28th birthday there... and it's also Bill's Dad's on the 21st. I'm ready to snorkel and see the rain forest and lay on the beach and drink some Gasolina.

BOO for tomorrow being Monday. YAY for the fact that after this week Bill will be totally out of his apartment and totally in to mine.
