{Moving Out of the Nest...}

I have wanted to move out of my mom's house for so long. I've also wanted somewhere to live that was steady...I've been in college for 5 years...since then, I've lived in a total of seven different homes. I have made 4 hour roundtrips almost every weekend in that time. I jumped from wherever I was living at college, to my moms, and to significant other's homes. I hate it. Completely hate it. I'm tired of packing and unpacking and living out of bags.

On December 12th, I will finally get that. No more going to three different homes in one weekend.

I will live solely at Chris' house.

Our home.

I get to keep my toothbrush, hair dryer, and make up in the same place indefinately. LOL.

While I am absolutely excited about this, it's also harder than I thought it would be to "move out of the nest." A lot harder. I know I am an adult now, have been for awhile, but I am really a "home" person. My mom's house has been my home since I was 7 years old, and it's not even the actual house, its the FAMILY part of it. I hardly get to see my mom anymore (I used to see her every day on the weekends, summers, school breaks). I miss my pets like crazy. I miss my bedroom and just the "feeling" of being at home. It's hard moving my stuff out, and I'm sure its much harder for my mom.

Ahh, growing up.

I have off from student teaching today, so I am spending my day at my mom's house. Sadly, my mom is at work, so I'm just spending the day loving up the pets and my scrapbook room. I haven't really gotten a day for scrapping in SO long. It feels good to have the day to just create. That's one thing that won't change - my scrapbook room - there just isn't room for all my stuff at my new apartment, so I will just be coming back to my mom's house whenever I get that feeling to scrap.

I will post the layouts when I can! Most are for design team stuff!
