Huh, I kind of forgot this journal existed. I guess when life gets too busy that can happen. Updates, I'm working, I'm married now for 2 years, and I'm still trying to escape this house and move. Every time we get close to listing it something happens that sets us back. I'm tired and frustrated with it an want to move on already. We'll be starting to paint the trim on the exterior of the house as mandated by the city this weekend. I'm nearly done purging the house. Pre-packing has started. 1 more day and the 3rd floor painting will be done. But now we've gotten a backed up basement drain and tiny ants have taken over the counter in the kitchen. Thanks Spring! Gah!
I dream about where we will move that isn't a money pit. I dream of the day where it doesn't take all week to clean the house, and where we have some extra money to do fun things every now and again instead of just existing because we have to pay for repairs. I'm pretty sure we will be going to an apartment just to leave off some of the home ownership hassles for a while. I'd also like to go to school, even if it's part time to study History. So many dreams, and so many road blocks to get there. But get there we will, because we can't continue on like this.
I opened a fortune cookie the other day, and it really spoke to my situation. On the front it had the fortune, on the back a phrase to learn Chinese. Front: The journey up a ladder begins with the first step. Back: The day after tomorrow.
