So, yeah. It's been a looooooong time since my last post. I have no excuses beyond laziness. :-\
I'm still doing really well with the finances goals, however, there was a recent wrench thrown at me that may derail my progress for a time called "I'm moving to Portland."
Yeah. I'm finally escaping from small town life. The thing is, since I've been talking about it for so long, now that it's actually happening I'm having mixed feelings about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited about living near civilization again, but I love the friends I have here. And I'm really going to miss my less than 5 minute commute. And I'm REALLY not all that happy about the incredibly high OR state income tax... But on the other hand, there are so many more opportunities - professional, personal, and romantical - as well as an abundance of tasty, frothy beverages to drink with old college friends that I'm sure I'll find a way to adjust relatively quickly.
Anyway, that's not happening till the end of January, so I have some time before my life is turned upside down. In the meantime, the roommate (oh yeah, I got a new roommate back in June) and his baby mama (oh yeah, he got his ex-girlfriend preggers) are due January 1. I'm thankful that he is more than willing to take care of the Bandido while I'm in Seattle next week (Bandit and his dog, Harley, are like best buds. It's so cute), but I just can't help but look down and shake my head about his whole situation. There's way too much shit going on there to go into it here, so I'll just say he's pretty f**ked. I'm glad I'm leaving before the real shit hits the fan.
And with that short round up of recent life events, I'm presented with a very important question... When I leave, what do I title my blog!?!?!
;-)
Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!
