So life right now is going incredibly well, but has been very busy.
Starting yesterday and up until July 2nd I am working as a live in nanny. It's quite the unique situation. Piper is Abbey's (the baby that I usually nanny for) cousin. Piper's mom had been on dialysis and is in kidney failure. So, Piper's dad decided to give his wife the kidney that she needed. So...the baby is 3 weeks old as of yesterday, and today both her parents had major surgery. Thankfully, everything went smoothly and they should be back home recovering this weekend. Piper has been the best baby, especially for her age. She sleeps for 4 hours at a time, and at night goes right back to sleep after I get up to feed her. I swear, these kids that I nanny for need to start being not so well behaved. It's so hard not to want kids when these babies I'm around make being their caregiver so easy.
I also just found out that I got hired on for a job that I applied for at University Hospital in their Surgical Intensive Care Unit. It's pretty exciting, the schedule's flexible, and the pay is great.
School starts back up Aug. 24th. I can't say that I'm pumped about that, but I am ready to be done with school. Only about 3 more semesters to go. Thank god!
In the relationship department, I'm really tired of living alone. Tyler and I have been talking seriously about moving in together for about 4 months now. The problem that we're having is whether to buy a house, or move into an apartment. Right now it looks like we're leaning more towards buying a house, which would be great. The problem is, if that's what we decide to do, I will probably move back in with my parents and we will both save our money really well until around Christmas so that we can put a bigger down payment on the house. Ideally, we would like to put about $15,000 down...but we'll see. One step at a time. That's what I have to keep telling myself. I'm a planner. I like to make plans for the future. Even if they don't work out, that's fine...But I like to set goals and constantly be making strides in their general direction. Tyler however, is a day to day kind of person. He likes to worry about today, maybe this whole week if I really push him, and not any further. Which is why we still have no plan on where we're moving, or when, nor do we have a budget or general amount we would like to be saving. Totally discombobulated and it makes me crazy.
So in general, life is going really well.
