Bittersweet Symphony - It is my life

Welp. It's been a couple weeks since I last posted. (Sorry for that, by the way). A lot has happened and I'm going to break it up into a couple different posts because I don't want to overwhelm you with the past two weeks all in one shot. So first - Moving :)

So last you heard I was packing the night before the big move to our apartment. I have to say, I never want to move again (even though we will in approximately 15 months...), it is incredibly exhausting, frustrating, emotional and just plain crazy! We ended up moving on that Friday morning and mother nature decided to throw us a curve ball - it snowed for 24 hours straight. It was cold, wet and windy. Thankfully we had a lot of help from my parents and Justin's friend Tim. We eventually got everything inside and began to settle in. My mom had stayed with me the entire day. She brought over my first load of stuff and then we went shopping at Target for some food and "house basics", I was incredibly surprised by how calm I was, I wasn't nervous, I wasn't sad, I was just having fun. Then the time came to get my last small load from my parent's house and going back myself. I completely lost it. I didn't want to leave my room, my parents, my cats, my house, I just didn't want to leave at all. It was quite possibly the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Once I got to the apartment (longest drive of my life by the way... I ended up going through a red light because I was crying so much I couldn't see...) I cried on Justin a little bit and then went to bed. Each day was hard, each day is still hard, but it's getting a little bit easier as time passes. It's just so incredibly weird to be living somewhere else. My room has always been my room, my house, my bathroom, my bed, everything has been the same my entire life and it all changed in one day.

On the bright side, Justin and I are making a home here. It's taking some time and I'm trying not to be quite as OCD as I would like to be. It's a work-in-progress. And as we start making a home here we are getting closer and closer to the wedding. Our shower has already come and gone, the gifts have been unwrapped and put away in cupboards and closets...we've now got less than 2 months before we're walking down the aisle. YIKES!!

This is what I've got for you for now. I'm home sick from work today, but feeling a little better after getting some extra sleep. It's amazing what a couple hours on a comfy couch will do for you.  Maybe I'll take some pictures of our home later and maybe post them this afternoon.

Happy Hump Day!
