Changes

I haven't written in awhile... been quite busy. I moved to a new place on Friday, May 13th. I am renting a room from a friend of about 4 years. I just found out about 2 weeks ago that he is moving by the end of this month, therefore I will have to move. Luckily, a good friend of mine offered me a room. I went over to see the house. My room is pretty good sized, with wooden floors, 2 closets, and 2 large windows. I will have my own bathroom. The rest of the house is great as well. From the outside it looks like a smaller house, but when you enter, the house is pretty big. There is a gorgeous sun room. The backyard is huge and currently there are strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, tomato, asparagus and other plants with fruit and veggies ready to be plucked. There are also apple trees, grape vines, and lots of flowers. Two gorgeous ponds surround the outer parts of the yard. The rent is $375/month and includes all utilities except they do not have cable- bummer deal. I will have to get cable. Part of their electricity is solar... I think that is pretty awesome. They have 2 cats and 4 chickens that provide fresh eggs. I just hope this move works out and I won't be bouncing around all over the place. Abby finally met Justine in the beginning of July and that went really well. They are already planning the next get-together. Abby spent almost a week down here... it was wonderful. Zach will be coming down this weekend. I miss them so terribly much... not having them here with me breaks my heart. But at least they are safe and secure.  I also began a new job as a home health nurse. I was hired on 6/22/2011. I am currently working Weds nights and Saturday days- 10 hour shifts. The client I am caring for and her family is wonderful. I feel so lucky to have gotten this job!  School is going really well. Getting all A's... waiting for financial aid to come.
