My New Home Away From Home.

Well after looking at about 8 different apartment complexes and 4 different 1 bedroom houses, I have found a place to live. I have to say if was stressing me at first. I was trying to find some place that I could get out of a lease if needed, and of course no one wants to let you out of a lease. After all my looking I got was settled on a place called “The Reserve” It’s a little more pricey than some of the places. I figure after 2 years in Mimosa with 8 guys I should get a nice place to live.

My next issue I have to deal with is the fact that I have nothing to furnish a house with. Right now I am in the process of searching craigslist and the classifieds looking for everything to furnish my apartment. When I say everything I really do mean everything…..couch, TV bed dresser lamps coffee table…yeah the whole 9 yards. If anyone happens to come across a good deal on a TV let me know! I did find some dishes and a few odd and ends for a kitchen. My big dilemma is that I will be getting hitched in May and everything I have Megan will prob hate and make me throw it all away. I figured out a long time ago that what I think is good stuff Megan thinks that belongs in the trash…..

One good thing is I have time I don’t move into my new apartment till Oct 9. Bad thing is that If I were to find a couch or something I would have to find someplace to store it till I move in….Oh well I guess this is the pleasure of being a traveling man.

House Hunting

Well it’s been a while since I have gotten around to posting anything. Work has been busy and has taken up most of my time. When I do have time I just like to be lazy and not even think. I found out a couple weeks ago that I am getting kicked out of the company apartment. So the past few weeks I have been looking for a place to live. I have not been looking hardcore about it because I have till the end of the month. I am trying to figure out a balance between cheap and safe.. ha ha I don’t really care how nice the place if because stuff like that does not bother me, but I figure that I need a place that when I go home for the weekend I don’t have to lock everything of value at work. Another issue I am having is that I do not own anything to furnish an apartment with so everything I need I am going to have to buy. I figure after labor day all of the outside lawn furniture will be on sale….It will be like I am camping at the lake all the time! Other than that nothing really is new in Abilene.

I guess my only real NEW news is that I have bitten the bullet and gotten engaged. I don’t have any pictures. Megan is the picture handler in the relationship so talk to her about that.
