Update!!

I apologize for being such a sucky blogger. It just gets a little crazy around here sometimes!! So, here’s a quick, end-of-the-day update on the Allen’s! Update #1: We’re crashing at my bosses house for a bit while we continue our home search. Got a great lead in that tonight, actually. The guy next door […]

A Young Professional

So I know I haven’t updated in forever and you probably all feel there’s tons that needs to be filled in, and I’ll get to it eventually. I just don’t want to miss out on nights like tonight where I really want to talk about what’s going on NOW. Junk Recyclers joined the Chamber of […]

My deepest fear

I’m really feeling this quote right now. It seems it’s my own fears that keep me from being all I can be. I have such an amazing opportunity before me, and all I have to do is believe in myself and do everything I’ve ever wanted to do. It’s an amazing yet frightening feeling. It’s […]

Yay Job!!!

I feel I have so much to update everyone on! We just got back from an amazing, relaxing, and refreshing trip to Florida.  It seems every trip to Florida makes us feel refreshed and renewed.  I think the ocean has something to do with it. 😉 We literally spent every day at the beach while […]

We live in North Carolina!!!!

We did it! We packed up our entire home in a Uhaul (barely…I’m good at underestimating how much stuff I own) and we drove 12 hrs to our adorable and perfect cabin in Black Mountain, NC. The drive was…ok. I almost became a two-time divorcee a few times, but we made it. 😉 Seriously though, […]

Live in an RV?? Maybe…

Over the last couple of days, Dustin and I have been toying around with this idea of buying an RV of some sort and living in it for the next couple years.  We aren’t ready to buy a house right away, but I hate the idea of paying so much for rent each month for […]

Living in the Now

One of my favorite books of all time is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.  If you are a person who has constant anxiety, worries, and fears about what’s going on in your life, you haveto read this book.  It teaches how to forget about the past and not worry about the future.  Because, […]

I just love it when things work out :)

So remember how I was talking yesterday about needing to find a furnished place for the month of July within the next two days?  Well, guess what happened just a couple hours after I posted that yesterday?! 🙂 The lady who owns this little cottage in the mountains saw this ad that I posted on Craigslist […]

One More Week!

We’re getting ready for our last week in Louisiana!  Which is pretty freaking ridiculous to think about, haha.  We’re trying to get things squared away and ready for the move, but we’re still taking things a day at a time. We got approved for an apartment, but it comes with a 14 month lease (14?!) […]

Good People of the World Unite!

I’m starting this blog because I feel like I’ve come to that point in life where I’ve realized I’m the grown-up.  I’m the adult.  I’m the one who’s supposed to be reading the news, keeping up to date on things.  I’m the one who is supposed to be lobbying policies to Congress and serving my […]
