After three and a half years of absolute freedom of living on my own, I am back living in a parents house. Although I never said it would happen it did. I was so against the idea in the beginning but i guess after many long talks with my husband we realized that it may be our smartest decision to save money and to buy the house we have always wanted.
The move went very well yesterday. Special thanks to Mike, Neil, Ryan, Janoa and Brett for making the move go so well. Now I am stuck with trying to find space for an apartments worth of stuff and then some that i have accumulated. I think we just need to get another set of dresser drawers and we will be good.
Shane's mom is nice so i don 't think it will be so hard living here but its just the loss of control and freedom that come withs living on your own. Those who have been there know what i mean. It kinda feels like you are back to square one and the proud that you felt on providing for yourself is gone. Also its the thought that this is someone elses house and you have to act a certain way...and the hope that you aren't inconvinencing anyone too much because they were kind enough to offer their house to you and try to make you as comfortable as possible (which both Shane's mom and Shannon have done)I guess i will get used to these things over time and i will do absolutely anything to be where my husband is so i guess i will have to make the sacrifice. Hopefully we will be house hunting soon and that will give me something to look forward too!
One thing i don't think I will get used to is the drive. Every since highschool (where i had to take that 45min sometimes one hour bus ride) and ryerson (two hour bus ride) i vowed just to move close to wherever i am going to need to be. Hence the move to kennedy and lawrence when i work mostly at scarborough gen, and the move to eglinton and vic park when i worked mostly at sunnyb. I love my sleep..any added sleep and less transportation is great for me!! Tonight is my first night shift drive in..we'll see how that goes!
Now onto money saving time!!!!
