A new place to call home

Well it's been now almost 2 weeks for my job to be the center of my thoughts. It's all still pretty hard to believe. We went down to Wichita early last week, I went to about 6 apt. complexes, some extremely dumpy others really really nice! I mean one was crazy nice, and only about 1000 for a one bedroom! HA! I'm happy to be back in the plains where the cost of living is decreased! I did, however, find a nice 2 bed/2 bath apartment on the west side of town (where work is), that I LOVE! It has basically everything I wanted! 2bedrooms, walk-in closets, lots of kitchen space, washer/dryer hookups, and a storage place out on the deck. I'm excited to move in!

Because I'm somewhat picky and wanted an apt. toward the back of the complex, away from all of the road noise that accompanied the busy road it sat on. My apartment will be available the 14th of December. Now this could be a problem when I start work on the 10th. Hmmm....well one of the forecaster's has been in contact with me and early on offered to let me stay with her while I was looking. She is very sweet to extend such and offer and I think it will be fun to stay with her for a little bit before my apt. is free.

The rest of this week has remained busy with visits and shopping and cleaning and all of that fun stuff! I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving this week, getting to see all of my family that I haven't seen since last Christmas! Will be very exciting! It's hard to believe it's been so long! Then after Thanksgiving I'm hoping to have some time to just chill with the family before I head off for the real world!

Much love
