They better be right!
Its been a rough month to say the least.
It started the week before mothers day. Greg and I had been together for just over a year. Things were going well till he asked one little question. "What do you think about getting married?" he asked one day while sitting at the table in our favorite Chinese food restaurant. Without even thinking, I answered "why do you want to marry me?" All the man could come up with was "you would make a good wife" As he tried to convince me that it was a great idea, all I could think of was 10 years in to the future with him. I saw me being bored out of my mind and surrounded by computers and ninja gear. I saw our closets full of MRE's and ammo. I pictured us in debt and still stuck in an apartment. It was terrible!!! I knew I had to leave that day. I told him I would never get married that afternoon. He didn't talk to me for 5 days. I already had one foot out the door.
Saturday June 4th I went with mom to look for an apartment. I cant remember ever being more frustrated in my life. Every apartment we looked at was too expensive and wouldn't be ready any time soon. I thought I was going to pull my hair out. It took me three days to finally find a place to stay that worked for me and car. Its an old one bedroom apartment with a really neat view of the green belt off the balcony. (12118 Walnut Park Crossing Apt 422) My own place! It only took my 26 years to get my own place. No ones dishes to do but mine and cars. No one elses laundry to wash. The house will be the exact way I leave it every day. It feels good. I have to find out where to get the 660 dollars rent next month. Oh and the 220 dollar deposit for electricity. And don't forget the 100 deposit for gas. (this is all after the almost 700 dollars I had to spend just to get the place)
I'm sleeping on the floor for now, and I am eating off plastic plates. I have no microwave and I'm broke, but it will get better. At least that's what they all say!
