Moving On

April 1, 2009

I’ve been thinking off and on about moving for a few months now, but wasn’t sure if I was really ready for such a big step. Moving out was a huge deal; I was comfortable where I was, and we had made some good memories together.

It wasn’t one big thing that spurred my decision, but little ones that built up over time until I couldn’t take it any more. The final decision was very, very hard. I had to leave.

After some long talks and some crying, I’ve been looking for a new apartment. And this last weekend I finally found one that I liked. There are some really expensive, tiny dumps of apartments out there. I filled out the application and was approved not two days later.

Steve is supportive of my decision, even if he’s not in 100% agreement. And I don't blame him. The next few weeks will be filled with some awkwardness and a lot of emotion as I pack all of my things into boxes and move them to my new home.

We’d been together for over two years, but he knew that I couldn’t stay forever.

Best of luck to you on the road ahead and the challenges you will obviously face. We are all pulling for you. Good luck.

Shiioooot, babe.

Take care. I understand and I'm rooting for you.

I never said Steve wasn't coming with me (he is) (Olive too) (and the hamsters).

But now I feel bad that I fooled you. Kinda.

Shame on you!
You should have seen Beth's face...
You got us good.
Much love,
Becca

So I like this tiny coffee mug, but the name reminds me of a menstrual cup. That might be a dealbreaker. http://t.co/CI50TkhI 2 hours ago
