Only ten days ago, did I get the keys to my new place and begin this next chapter of my life. Though the divorce is not final until next month we were finally able to move into a home of our own. As I mentioned, it has only been ten days. But, it already feel so much like home. It's because I made it that way. It is a rental, but I personalized it, did what I wanted with it and did what I could with it to make it feel like it was ours.
I love my little blogging corner of the world ....
On my new budget, I was only able to afford to rent a two bedroom condo (thought it is an enormous 1,900 sq feet!). So, Little Diva and Little Dude are sharing a bedroom, which scared me a little at first. But, it has really been going great. We purchased some bunkbeds and coordinated their bunks and private bathroom. And, bedtime has actually been going better than I ever thought it could.
We also stopped by the pet store to add some goldfish to the mix. They named them Uno and Dos. Though, Uno and Dos have since passed and I believe we now have Tres and Quatro living with us!
We even have a finished basement, which we are able to use as a combined home gym and playroom. It has been working out perfectly this week. It was a little too windy for me to run outside and I had the kids this weekend. So, they were able to play and do craft projects while I ran in place! So, yes .... I've still been running 25-30 miles a week.
Thanks, as always, for joining me on my journey! The journey only continues .....
