well the system is down at work so I have a little bit of time to write here…

so as my blog title implies, i’m getting ready to move out to the west coast… Tacoma, to be exact… from Philadelphia. i’m feeling way better about it, especially now that we’re engaged AND we’re not living near the monster-in-law his parents.  the less fun part of this is, that we are trying to figure out how the hell we’re gonna afford this move. jared isn’t working because he’s still in school, and as of july will be just unemployed he can’t really work until he takes his boards. which leaves me supporting us until he passes and starts a job.  unfortunately, i live alone in philly, so i pretty much make as much as i need to live, maybe a little extra, but not a lot.  we’re looking at furnished apartments because we figured it would be a whole lot cheaper than moving furniture… but we still need all my clothes, stuff to cook with, dishes, all my dvd’s, my computer…
so i looked into a uhaul truck, the smallest one, and it would cost $3,500 to move with that. PLUS GAS. in august. yikes.

does anyone know of a cheaper way to do this?!?! like i said, we’re not taking furniture, only essential things, but it’s still turning out to be ridiculous!  i have a small car, and we’re going 3000 miles, so any kind of trailer for my car is kind of impossible.

i like how i ask for advice and average 2 views per post hahaha

i’m finally getting so excited for the move. it looks a little more likely that i’ll be able to keep my current job when i move, which is great, and i just feel better about things in general. jared & i are planning on getting second puppy when we move, so there’s that to look forward to, and he applied to an AMAZING job. med school out there is super cheap if i’m a resident, and it FINALLY feels like things are falling into place. now, i know from experience that this usually means something terrible is lurking around the corner, but i’m trying to keep my sunny outlook

i’ve been cooking lately!! on and off. haha. but last night i made chicken wtih a cucumber mint yogurt sauce and it was really good (and noah loved it)… tomorrow night i’m trying a whole bunch of stuff on two of my friends (and noah), complete with mojitos and pineapple salsa, and i must say i’m pretty excited. if i update this with any sort of regularity i will let ya know how it goes.

welllllll i think the system is back up so i guess that’s it for now
