Woah Boy!

Has it really been this long? How have you all been!?

Monday after work I moved into my apartment, Tuesday-Thursday I was away for work, Friday I got my car towed, Saturday I moved the big things into my new place and Sunday my car got flooded. It has been one fun, expensive week!


The new apartment is just perfect. I now have this uplifting environment that allows/challenges me to be whoever I want to be. Before I was so influenced by commuting 2.5 hours each day, my family troubles, my sibling’s poor eating habits… they were all tumbling against me to keep me down. I was binging often the past few weeks, I had cake every day before breakfast and after dinner, and I was so stressed out and tired by the time I got home from work at 7:30 p.m. that I just couldn’t work out. I was feeling terrible.

The first week after my move I hadn’t counted a calorie or stepped on the scale- or even had much time to exercise! But from being in this environment and wanting to just be healthy, I stepped on the scale and my weight had dropped down 3 pounds. I just know this apartment is good for me.
(my first time in the apartment!)

(first broken plate!)
One thing my landlord failed to mention to me was that my street floods easily. (oops!) This building has street parking as well as lots in the back and on the sides. I always park in the street because it is closest to my apartment. Last night (after hail larger than ice cubes), David looked at the window and said, “Look- my car is under water.” Well, it turns out mine was too.
The street was a river. Water was on my seats. Notice the water bottle floating in the picture below. Water even came 6 steps up to the first floor of my building. Fun! Both of our cars were towed and we’re waiting for the diagnosis from the shop. I’ll keep you posted.

There has been a very limited internet connection at the apartment. I’m working on it, but I’m getting something now, so hold on! Check back soon, because we have a lot to talk about! (And lots of pictures!)

I have so many things I want to discuss with you all through this blog... I’m getting right on it!
Have a healthy, happy day!
