Time for Change....Again?


So I don't know about you but I was pretty pleased with the Election results yesterday. I figured that I really wouldn't have much of an opinion having just moved here a few months ago, but it's surprising the affects those darn political ads can have on you! Not that they really pulled me in...but when they are on every 2 seconds for 3 months straight...you kind of can't get around them. They are annoying, but I guess they did what they were supposed to by luring me in! 

But I was pleased with the heavy Republican wins. Maybe now people will start to realize that Baracki isn't the Mr. Fabulous they all thought he was...these Republicans didn't just magically get voted in. Obviously the people chose them..meaning the people are sick of Obama. Okayyyy enough political talk :)

Tonight I am excited because I am going shopping with Katie! She has to get her husband a birthday present so we're going to get dinner and do some shopping :) Should be fun. Obviously I haven't scared her away yet since she keeps wanting to hang out with me...so that is good :) 

Tomorrow Josh and I are meeting with our Realtor to look at some new places! We are pretty excited. We've been looking at some online for a few weeks and kind of know what we are looking for...so he's going to try and help us with that.We are pretty open to anything, we've seen a lot of town homes and condos that would be nice, or even other apartments that are more spacious and better quality. And there are some houses that we like, it just is so much more expensive here! You get a lot less house for what you are paying, compared to a house you could get for the same price range in Michigan. So we are trying to decide if we want to get a house now, or find a better apartment that is more bearable for us (I realize we are spoiled and have high expectations!) and save for another year or two and then get a house when our budget is more expanded. The main thing is we need more space. We are starting to talk about the future...and things in our future that require more space (read: BABIES). So this is a priority :)

If we could do it all over again, we probably would have pushed harder to have more time to look for a place here rather than Josh accepting the position on a Thursday and starting the following Monday. But after being unemployed for almost a year he was pretty ready to get started, and we were just thankful that a job had been offered at all...so we ran with it. But that didn't allow a lot of time to check our options and we kind of just got stuck here because it was the only place with immediate move in as an option. We just got lucky that we could only sign a 6 month lease, so now that we are settled and everything, we can find a place that much better suits our needs. This isn't it.

I'm not really super excited to move again already...but I've already told myself I might as well get used to it, because Josh has already informed me that he likes moving and thinks it is fun...and wants to do it "a lot". Whatever that means! I don't mind it, it is kind of fun....just so close together is not as much fun! But after this move we should be set. For at least a year he tells me! Haha. Oh boy. 

Alrighty well I should probably get ready to go. 
Hope you all have a fantastic evening! :)
