Tony and I get the keys to our new apartment on Wednesday. I am sooo excited. I just can't wait to unpack everything, get settled and start living the life we've been dreaming about since the day I got a phone call saying YOU HAVE A JOB. Honestly every day since that day we've talked about what we're gonna do with our new place, how we are going to organize everything, and what we plan to do with our evenings together (most likely watching TV :) haha). So the anticipation has been killing us, we are so ready for this.
I don't think I've actually talked about this, but we were supposed to move in to our new place on Friday the 10th. Obviously that didn't happen. About a week and a half ago Tony go a phone call from the people we're renting the place from. They informed us that they were having a hard time getting our new place ready by the 10th. Since it wasn't going to be ready they offered us a bigger place, on the first floor and at the same price we would have been paying for the small place. Of course we accepted this. The only con about this option was that we aren't able to move in until the 15th. 5 days really hasn't felt that bad. I still don't have all my stuff packed and ready to move anyway. Procrastination has been getting me these past few days. :)
Tony and I got all of our furniture and a new mattress yesterday. I'm so excited to get everything situated. I can't wait to build the couch (we got it from ikea). It should be fun. I'm also so excited to get our bed set up and sleep on our new mattress! SOO excited.
Other than all this anticipation, life has been alright. Working and hanging out, that pretty much defines my life these days, and I'm totally okay with that. So okay with that. It was a little weird not going back to college this fall, even more weird because so many people I know did and all they talk about is "first day of class this" and "first day of class that". O well, I'm actually really happy that I don't have to go to class. I mean class was just stressful and ug. I'm glad that I've graduated. YAY
Well I suppose I should go get stuff packed and start to get laundry taken care of before the work week.
I'll write again when I get settled in my new place. :)

Today was a good day. I got contacts FINALLY! I have been wanting to get them for a while now and I finally just went to the eye doctor and said I would like contacts. And boom I can see. It's actually really strange. I've been so used to just being able to see when I had my glasses on, and now I can just see with NO glasses, its weird. I don't really know how to explain it.
Also today I bought a Keurig Coffee Maker. It's SOOO cool. I have a weird addiction to any type of technology. If it plugs into a wall or takes batteries I pretty much LOVE it. (that's why I went into Electrical Engineering ) Anyway, It's so sweet. I want to drink like 29485 cups of coffee just to play with it. I got the reuseable cup too so that I can use any coffee in it. That's probably a good idea because those little cups might become a problem and might become something that I just don't feel like buying when I can buy a bag of coffee or something.
I don't know if I wrote since I bought my car. I got a 2008 Mustang. It's silver and wonderful. I honestly love it! Really. I never thought that I'd love a car, but I love this car. It's pretty and goes fast and is everything that I'd ever wanted. And since I was about 12 years old I wanted a Mustang. So now I have one and it's a wonderful feeling.
Tony and I started watching the first season of Mad Men last weekend. It's addictive and I love it. We are almost done with the first season so I've been looking around to buy the second season (and probably the 3rd too). It's so good.
I suppose that's about all I have to write about. Not a very exciting post. Sorry.
Oh Tony and I move into our new apartment in less than a month. I cannot wait!! :) And on Sept 4th we get to go see Billy Idol for free!! yay haha.
Later

Well I know I haven't updated in a while. Every thing is just so busy these days. I really do need to start setting time aside to work on this blog and my parents website because I've really been slacking.
Biggest News: Tony and I signed for an apartment in Fenton. I am SO excited to move in. We also got a new bed from Ikea. I can't wait to put it together and have an actual bed, not just a bed frame.
As much as I'm going to miss college life, I'm not going to miss being so poor that all I can buy is Ramen and I have to sleep on an OLD nasty bed and have a bunch of broken and uncomfortable furniture. I'm so excited to be able to decorate and have decent things. I am by no means rich yet, but I do have some of the money that I've been anticipating. :)
I can't even describe to you how much it amazes me that weeks FLY by. I honestly feel like it was just Monday like a second ago. I suppose that is a good thing, but then when I think about it, it's like 5 days of my life go by so fast that I don't even realize they went by. I am scared that most of my life is going to go by like this and I won't even have time to sit, relax and enjoy things.
Work is going well. I think I'm really getting the hang of things. I feel like I am starting to understand the lingo and the different processes that everything has to go to. I'm also really adjusting to the Japanese way of doing business. It's not as fast paced as I'm used to and I like that I have ample time to think and prepare before I'm expected to present. It's a nice feeling.
Well I suppose that is an update of my life. This weekend and all of next week is devoted to finding me a car. One that I like AND that is reliable. It's going to be a hell of a search. :( haha.
