New Home
I survived the big move. It helped me to further realize that I really want to buy a house soon so I don't have to move again for a very long time! I'm living with a couple of friends of mine. It is a bit like learning to live in a college dorm again, but I really think I am going to enjoy it. I am sort of unpacked. By that I mean that my bed is set up, clothes hung in the closet and the boxes are arranged well enough that I have a walking path. I have a lot to do in the next few days, but it feels good to actually be here (at least for the next few months).

Downsizing
Typically when the word downsizing is mentioned it causes extreme panic because of the implications it has in the work place. However, I am looking forward to a bit of downsizing.
I am moving in three weeks. I am moving from my rather spacious apartment to a bedroom. Yes, you read that right...a bedroom. As mentioned in my previous post my friends, Jenn and Louis, have agreed to let me rent one of their bedrooms so I can save more money to purchase a house next spring. Now I have to determine what must go with me and what can be placed in storage (or the trash). That is a bit intimidating to me because I have a lot of stuff. I hope it will be a liberating process though. I think everyone can benefit from living with a lot less stuff.
I'll keep you updated on how the "weeding out" process is working for me.

New Computer!
I finally purchased a new laptop. It seems to be much faster than my old one so perhaps I will now be more diligent in updating this site. I'm not making any promises though.
The biggest thing going on in my life right now is that I am moving in three weeks. I was hoping to buy a house, but the two I put offers on didn't work out. So now the plan is to put the house hunt on hold for the next 6 months while saving as much money as possible for a down payment and closing costs. To facilitate in the saving part of the plan I am moving in with some very dear friends of mine for minimal cost. They so graciously opened their home to me. You know who you are...so THANK YOU!! It will be an interesting change, but has the potential to be very refreshing and fun.
If anyone is bored to death during the next three weeks feel free to stop by to help pack. ;-)
