Oh Michigan

I live in Michigan. Who would have thought that I would have ended up here? In some house, living with one of my best friends, looking for a job (I've applied to two, almost three jobs.), and having just applied to this random (but seemingly good) community college..certainly not me..

I'm all moved in. I have a bed to sleep on. I'm working on getting settled. I haven't made cookies yet..I guess that means that I still have work to do on getting comfortable.

I miss my mom. I miss Bubby. I miss sleeping with Callie, and kicking her off the bed when she takes up more than half the room, or start snoring too loud. I miss my dad, and walking down the stairs to yummy smells of amazing food cooking in the kitchen. I even miss the twins and Grace. I guess it's easier to like them when I'm about 1,000 miles away from the fighting.

But I'm having a good time. We went to the zoo today, and the past few days we've been getting lost, exploring the area. I found out that it takes 5 minutes to drive to the college I'm going to, and I didn't have to use the gps for a trip today for the first time since I got here! I felt pretty amazing about that.

I'm happy, but stressed about some things. Money goes away fast. Especially without any income. I need to pay for food, gas, and rent. I have my first month's rent already tucked away, but if I don't start getting paid soon, I'm going to be in trouble. Today, Alex asked me what I would do if I got 47,000 dollars..that was a nice thought for a minute..sigh.

Anyways..

For those of you who've been wanting it, here's my new address.
366 Woodmere Ave. SE
Grand Rapids, MI
