Home Again
Before I start my actual post, I just want to say hi and welcome Megan, my roommate, to my blog. She has agreed to start reading it over the summer since we will no longer be seeing each other every day which makes it hard to keep up with all our daily life activities.
I'm back at home again, living with Theresa for now and by the end of the week she'll be gone and Maria will be my roommate for I'm assuming the rest of the summer. Still don't know what will happen when Theresa moves back, but I'll deal with that when it gets here. The move in went more smoothly than I thought, no big freakout on my part or anything. I found or made space for all of my things, and thankfully mom let me put some things in the little boys' room which is giving me enough space for wedding things. I am a little concerned about living with Maria-to put it nicely, she's not as neat and organized as I am. She is going to have to learn though, because I just cannot tolerate a huge mess, especially when I already have so much stuff crammed into a tiny space and more will be coming. There just isn't room to be messy.
Along with being back at home, I'm also back at work at PEI. Two days in now, and it's not going as badly as I thought. Things are slightly different, mostly just in the set-up, but nothing really affects me so I don't care that much. I'm just putting in my time, doing my job quietly and consistently like I always do, and saving my money to pay for the wedding. It's going to be a tight summer with money, for both me and Eric, but we'll make do. The thing I'm worried about most is gas. I honestly cannot afford to put gas in the car I'm using to get to work every other week. I put in $20 today and it was barely 6 gallons, which is only a 1/3 of a tank. Doing the math, that would obviously be $60 to fill a tank. If I have to put gas in every other week, I'll be spending more than I can take out of my paychecks. It will be either pay for the wedding or put gas in....obviously not a good choice. Let's hope it won't come down to that.
On a final, more positive note, Eric and I got our apartment, so we have somewhere to live come August 18th! We still have to sign the lease and all that jazz, but we'll move our stuff in August 1st and ourselves in August 18th, unless Eric decides to live there before then. I'm super excited-it's a nice apartment, not huge but not as tiny as Gina and Josh's first one if anybody knows what that was like. It's also in a really nice area and pretty quiet. It's so great to have that taken care of and to know that we have a place to live!
And the skies are not cloudy all day

1 bedroom, about 600 sq ft., it has a semi-small kitchen but it's separated from the rest of the apartment by a breakfast bar, which is cool, and it's $675 a month which includes heat, water, trash, we pay electric and gas (it's like that basically everywhere we looked) plus we get free offstreet parking which we actually wouldn't get everywhere. Um, not sure what else to say about it-3 pretty good sized closets, and a storage space elsewhere in the apartment. There are only 10 apartments per building which is pretty nice. Corner unit, hardwood floors. Well, ours is-the ones on the lower levels are carpeted. Anything else?
