Down to the wire…
I have so much to write about but whenever I open this page… nothing comes out right. It’s like my mind can’t put thoughts into words or something.
In 18 days I will be moving to Virginia with my OH (other half). I am so incredibly excited about this!!! I’ve been looking forward to being with him since the moment we’ve been apart. I can’t believe it’s been this long (8 months!), and I can’t believe it’s now this close!
And I still haven’t packed one single solitary box!
Uhaul is the devil. According to their website it was going to cost me almost $800 to rent a 10 ft. truck from them. *Choke* And I’d still have to put $80000000000000 worth of gas into it. So I got a notion and went onto the benefits website we have for work, they have lots of discounts. And through Budget Truck Rental, it’s only going to cost… $266! Guess who the winner is! Of course, it’s still going to cost $80000000000000 in gas, but the extra $534 will help out there.
And the house! I haven’t seen it, in fact when I’m done here I have to e-mail the landlady about pictures. But it’s brand new. On "private, gated property, on top of a mountain". 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, basement, garage, central air. A house like that down here would rent for at least $1600 a month. We’re renting it in Virginia for $700 a month. And "if we’re good neighbors" she might cut us a deal on the house next year.
I’ve already had 2 job offers, transferring with my company of course, but I can’t formally accept one till next week. I won’t be starting work until July 7th, and they can only hold a job open for 20 days. They’re both decent job offers, one is better than the other, but I’m still hoping for something even better still. And I’ve added another store to my transfer request. That will even further expand my possibilities.
Things are falling into line quite nicely. I wonder if it’s all gonna blow up somehow, or if it’s just meant to be.
I’m banking on the latter!
