Not Engaged Yet

Takin' the next step...

Well, I went into hiding for a little while... I needed a little break from the drama of the boards... (and the drama of my FB, too)

But, I figured I'd drop by and share some good news...  BF & I are moving in together!

    Thanks, Marley!

    I'm a little nervous because we're not exactly where I want to be financially but overall I'm happy with the decision...

    Lyz, that is exciting news! It's hard to find a time when conditions are perfect for any transition to the next phase in your life. So even if the finances aren't quite what you wanted at the moment, that doesn't mean this isn't the right time to take this step! :) GL and keep us updated!

    That's what I had to realize, Desert... The goal was to be able to get into an apartment and buy furniture and be completely debt-free with an emergency fund...  Then, I spoke to my friend who got married almost a year ago and she told me that if I wait until that happens I'll be in a grave before I ever move into my own apartment. lol  Which was exactly how I was starting to feel... So, I'm gonna take a leap! lol

    Yay! This is fantastic news! I know the rushy feeling of it all - BF and I made the decision fairly quickly as well, but ultimately the time was right, and 6 months later I have zero regrets. 

    Good luck with everything, and I hope your move goes smoothly!

    Yay! Good luck with the move. Packing up all your stuff only to unpack it a few days later is annoying and stressful. Don't worry about furniture. You can always do it hippy style and just sit on the floor or on beanbag chairs Tongue out

    Or checkout Craigslist or other classifieds. They usually have super cheap furniture.

    I really need to start purging my stuff... I want to get rid of at least half the stuff I own. I'm going to donate the clothes I dont wear... and we're going to have a yard sale in PA, where BF has his summer place.... The good thing is that we're not moving far and we don't have to move everything all at once.

    Every time I move I have less and less stuff. Moving is a pain in the ass and the more stuff you have the more of a pain it is. The first like month I lived in my apartment I didn't even have furniture. I still don't have a bed, I just sleep on the futon that BF let me have after he moved out of his apartment. We moved all of my stuff from my dorm to my apartment in one trip.

    Beth - I am really looking forward to getting rid of EVERYTHING lol  I'm lucky because I've had an apartment before so I have pretty much everything I need but all the other crap's gotta go!!

    Raven - She's a wise chick! I'm 29 & she's 25 and sometimes I forget that I should be the older, wiser one! lol    When she asked me when we were moving I said probably Mid-March - Early-April (that's when we weren't sure if we were going to get the apartment we looked at)...  and she said "YAY! You'll be in before baseball season!!" That totally made me feel so much better!!
