On to greener pastures.

So we've been looking into this house we wanna buy. It's rent-to-own, 3 bedroom 2 bath...big fenced in backyard...perfect for us. Well we paid the deposit and signed the contract last night. Dropped a big 4k on it. I saw the blood drain from Kyle's face when the exchange was made. ha. I don't think he's ever given anyone that much money before. Actually, I don't think he's ever had that much money to give before.
So we should be moving in in about 2 months. I'm excited. It's a huge step for us. Plus the house is about 10 minutes from my college which I'll finally be re-attending this fall :). Yay for me. The only thing is we've gotta pay the last 3 months rent here plus the first months rent there. So I'm having a yard sale this weekend to try and make some extra cash. I'm selling a lotta crap that I needed to get rid of a long time ago. But it's good crap so maybe it'll sell...lol.
Anyway, I hear my son in his crib practicing his famous fake cry. So I'll end on that note. Later Gator.

And so it begins...

Today was good. Not amazing or anything, but decent at least. I cleaned all day because Kyle (boyfriend/ baby daddy lol) has been complaining about not having any clean clothes. Ha. So I'm not a good house wife...who saw that coming? I never had any intentions of being one, but who does when you're eighteen years old and have to drop out of college because the pregnancy test you just peed on is telling you that you're knocked up? Anyways, Aiden (my son) is almost six months old now and I just turned twenty. Time is flying. I'm happy though. It's amazing how much your life can change in no time at all and how quickly you can adjust to it. That little boy brings the sun to my mornings :). Yep, life is good. However, there are a lot of things I need to change in my life in order for me to be happy with myself. Back to the house wife/ stay-at-home-mom thing. It's not for me. Don't get me wrong...I love being with Aiden. Getting to play with him and see him learn new things each day is great, but sometimes I feel like this apartment is a prison. Does that sound bad? It makes me feel bad to think it, but it's how I feel and I can't change that. I want to expand my horizons. Besides, who says once you become a mom you can't think about your own needs? I want to go back to school and get my degree. I would love to be a magazine editor. That would be amazing.

I'm glad Kyle is equally ambitious. We're both very big dreamers...which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at life. Kyle wants to be a millionaire by the time he's thirty (he's 23 now). lol...and he's driven enough to make it happen. It's not about money for me, although I'm not at all opposed to having money :)...but it's about finding my niche in life. Something I'm really great at and love to do at the same time...but who wouldn't want that right? You'd be surprised how many people are content with mediocracy. Okay, I hear my child waking up...gotta go on that note. Until next time :)
