New Beginning…Not Looking Back

Last night we had friends come over. We played The Pit all night! It’s an awesome game and we were a little bit loud… I emphasize ‘a little bit’…seriously. You can guess right… the security guy came again. He came back in November when we all got home from our Bachelor & Bachelorette parties… things kind of got out of hand that night. Anyways, I was peeved and annoyed because I seriously feel like we’ve got to be tiptoeing around the apartment all day and night long.

We’re ready to move out now, but our lease’s not up until July. We met with a realtor who will start working with us to find us a house. Today was the day I finally feel like an “adult” especially with all the talking of what we want and what we need to do. We have a lot of things to do for the next few months getting prequalified for a loan & looking at houses & making offers!

Starting tomorrow – I’m going to eat healthy & go to the gym! I’ve decided I’ll weigh in every Friday and keep track of my weight loss from there.

What is the first thing you do when you wake up?

I check my pager to double-check the time and read messages. That’s what I did this morning…Ty paged me saying we got reported on from the apartment and that definitely ruined my morning. I read the letter and it said we were reported for “loud activity throughout the day and past 10PM”.

Are they for real!? We’re at work during the day and don’t get home until dinner time and the boys are playing video games which does not require any physical movement and I’m not partying by myself. What disappointed me was that the letter also said if the problem continues then we could be evicted. Again…seriously!!?

I e-mailed all the ladies I know that work at the office in “my work mode” way. The assistant manager who lives two floors below me e-mailed me back and explained that it was just a letter that everyone receives when something like this happens and not to worry about it. If they don’t want us to worry about it then the “eviction” part is really unnecessary.

TWENTY SEVEN days left! I am so nervous because I’m not READY! (Yes, of course, I’m ready to marry Tyler)

IKEA = Organization

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Tyler and I went to IKEA again this weekend for the millionth time. I never get tired of that place. We needed chairs for our dining table & some other organization stuff. I’m at that stage where I want everything to be simple and not visible.

Everything’s organized and put away! Can’t go wrong with black.

I also love ULTA. I got some new make up today. I ran out of conditioner and noticed my hair is actually better without conditioner so I won’t be using it anymore. Farewell, conditioner!

Last night we bought Swiffer Wetjet and OMG, that stuff works!!! I love it! Our floors are clean now. The apartment better stay clean for the rest of the week, seriously or I’m gonna go bananas!

I’m ready for bed but I can’t….I have to watch Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, AND Heroes!
