Yay! for Nesting

2.02.2012

I know... I have blogged a ton... but hey, we have a lot going on right now!

Good news numero uno: COLTON  GOT A JOB! (: I'm so proud! And not only is it a decent job, but it's very close to my work.

Which brings me to good news numero dos: We picked an apartment! YAY! We love it and we are soo excited to get settled in. Plus, we got it super close to my work, so we can car pool (woot woot for saving the extra car payment, insurance, and gas!)

Why do we only have one car you ask? Oh my that is a story for an entire blog itself! But super short version so I can tell you about our new place, after being here about a month, Colton's car... well... it died. I guess it didn't have much fun in the sun!

Anyhoo.. back to our place. Here are some sneak peak pictures, and when we are settled I will put more up..



Now as you can see, the grounds are BEAUTIFUL! And Luckily Colton and I both love to swim, so as soon as Jaxon is big enough... you can catch me at that pool!

Butttt the pool is not even the best part. It's the layout of the apartment. Here is what caught my eye

1.almost 900SQ/FT for a one bedroom
(that means HUGE closets, bathroom, and laundry room)
2. and can I just say one more time HUGE bathroom
(Colton and I will be gettin ready at the same time in the morning, so thats a big deal)
3. surpisingly, it was hard to find an apartment in our pirce range with a washer dryer..
this one has a full size laundry room
4. STORAGE STORAGE STORAGE!
the unit has so many places for shelving and other important storage units that people forget about

Anywayssss, we read the reviews online and they have a pretty solid average. We will hope we love it as much as we do so far! I'll keep you posted!

Losing my job.

11.12.2011

The Monday following my appointment, I got fired. The first, and hopefully the LAST time I get fired. As if I couldn't be any more stressed, I am now a 19 year old mother-to-be that is jobless. Perfect.

In most of life's situations that get me so overwhelmed and I can't talk to my parents, there is one person I can always count on.. my Grandma. I call her immediately after leaving the office.She, of course, was an angel. She told me to tell my parents, and if things got bad she would take me in and help me get back on my feet.

After many phone conversations with a few of my close friends and family, I went home and gathered nearly everything I had purchased within the last three months and took it to be returned so I could scrap enough money to live.

At the time, my roommate Hillary was my bestest of all best friends. And when I told her I was pregnant,she told me she would be there for me no matter what "best aunt ever" she said she would be. And it felt good to know that I had at least her and Colton on my side for what was going to be a VERY long ride.

But when I lost my job, and had to leave the apartment to get by, it was to much for her. She stopped speaking to me. For a long time I really resented her for dropping me in the hardest time of my life... but it was because she left that I finally had the courage to tell my mother.

After 9 days of EXTREME bugging and taunting, I finally told my father everything that was going on. And that weekend, my family helped me move all my stuff out of the apartment with the girls, and I slept with my sister.
