Okay, since my last entry some things have changed.
So basically, the duplex fell through, which totally sucked. But then, a girl I work with was like well, I have my house for rent. so tadah! New living space. It's like a fucking dream. Its a really cute adorable older house. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, hardwood floors, fireplace, two car garage, and a really cute vintage bathroom. I'm totally painting over the wall paper its a little to pink for me but the light switch and fixtures are to die for. And for only dun da da daaah 400 dollars a month. The only reason shes renting it out so cheap is because they don't want to deal with the house. They don't want to deal with the yard. They don't want to deal with anything if anything breaks. So, fuck it. My better half just so happens to be a handy man and so is his father. So we're set. New toilets and faucets are in order (which we are getting for free and top of the line at that). Other wise is all in pretty much perfect condition.
We picked some paint colors which I can't wait to go out and buy. We started watering the lawn already because it's pretty dead and to be honest it's a total fire hazard. So by the time we move in it should be pretty green. We move in august first which gives me plenty of time to save up for random shit we need.
We're going to create a sound proof room and a guest room out of the extra spaces we have. The back yard has so much work to do but it'll be my little project. I'm going to start a little garden and get the back yard looking really nice. We plan on living in this space for a long time. We're even considering doing a type of thing where you rent to own. That's not what it's called but it's the only way I can explain it. We'll see how it goes though. I don't want to be stuck in Newman but I feel like in six years when we're ready to sell it, it will pay off. Who knows with the way the housing market is though. Anyway, I'm getting off track here.
If I'm stuck in this hell hole I might as well love the place I'm living in. It's in Gustine and it's a quiet neighbor hood. I'm going to adopt a dog once I get back from my family vacation toward the end of september. I'm hoping for either a dachshund, welch corgi, or maybe even a pomeranian. There are thousands of dogs available for adoption. When it comes closer to the time I'll look into it some more. But I can't wait. I've wanted my own dog since I was a little girl and now I can do it.
Suddenly I've gotten really busy at work. It's like I have a clientele out of no where. Which came at a really great time. I can't wait to move into my new place. It's killing me.
Life is really good to me right now. This is truly the happiest I've been in like I can't even tell you how long. I've finally found a really great sweet guy and now we can finally start our life alone in our own place.
