It's Still There?!

At least two years ago, the gas station near my parents' house had an RV for sale sitting in the parking area. It really blows me away that it's still sitting there, considering how people in the residential areas would complain about something like that. I can only assume that during the recession, the people who own it decided they couldn't afford the motor home repairs or something and figured a lot of people would be looking for somewhere cheaper to live, since they were all losing their homes. I think it was a good idea, in theory, but by now I would have assumed that they would have moved it. Added to that, there's a lot less parking space for people who use the station as a convenience mart.

New Phones!

I ended up needing a new phone this summer and my BF finally decided to get a cell too. I'm so glad he did since he works long hours, now I don't feel like he's always so far away. He really wanted a Windows phone, android for me. We both looked at the htc incredible s phone but I ultimately ended up with a Droid 3 and he an HTC Trophy. I think the Incredible is a really neat phone but it just wasn't really what I wanted because I'm so used to using a physical pad to type on for texting. I think we've both made the right choices for each of us and we're both really happy we took the time to research, something a lot of people don't end up doing.

Credit Check!

I'm so nervous, I haven't really ever paid much attention to my credit score (not too smart, I know), but in my defense, I never really had to worry about it since I lived with my parents and wasn't buying a car or something that required it. I know some jobs do look into that kind of thing but I never had one of those either LOL. Now I'm getting nervous because I'm on my own and we're hoping to buy a car and a house some day. It's time for me to get my annual free credit score and start looking to improve it, I know it can't be that great. I think my boyfriend is just as nervous since he's filed bankruptcy once already, even if it was years ago. He'll be having to check his stats as well so we can start preparing and working on setting things in place for when we're ready to get ourselves going.

I’m really excited about the bright outlook on our future though. I can’t believe I’m finally doing everything I’ve wanted to and with someone who wants the same as I do. I never thought I’d be able to have what I do now and the feeling is awesome! I can’t wait until we have a car and can start doing all the things we have planned on. For now, it’s time to save, save, save and get everything ready so there are no hang-ups when the time is right, that would be horrible to have happen!

Changes...Lots of Them!

So many things have happened lately, the biggest being that I've moved, again! I now live in Kansas and I'm so excited about this change. I'm so incredibly lucky to have met such a wonderful man and build a bigger and better family. We're still getting adjusted to a lot of things and it will take some time to sort things out, but I'm sure everything will work out for us all. There are a lot of emotional things still going on with me, but I think that will figure itself out too. The biggest challenge for me now is to make sure the finances are kept under control. We are facing a lot of expenses now, so that's really going to be something to constantly work on, we'll get there though.
