Haha, kinda reminds me of a song by Celine Dion…annnyyways. Ok, so I have ten more days until I’m REALLY for real an adult. No, I don’t mean turning 18. I’ve already done that, two years ago and change. No, I mean moving out. I won’t be considered a dependent anymore by my parents. So they can’t write me off on their tax forms haha.

I’m moving to North Carolina in ten days. I’m moving into our old house up there, and my parents are being gracious enough not to charge me rent, just making me pay for whatever utilities I use. So I have to take into account gas, insurance (both of those things I already pay for by myself) for my car, groceries, health insurance, utilities, cell phone, and internet (if I ever get that). Plus I’m going to have to be putting a little bit of money away every month trying to save up so Bryan and I can get married, plus, unlike Florida, the cost of living goes up in the winter in NC. Why? Because of propane. If you want to be warm, you gotta have heat and propane isn’t used too much in the summer time up there, so it hardly ever has to get filled up. But it costs about $300 to fill it. So that’ll be a huge gut punch every time I have to do that. So thankfully, my Dad is a very conservative person, and over the span of my life he has taught me little things like shutting off lights when you leave the room. Turn the AC off when you leave the house. If you can, keep the air off and just use a fan. So yeah, I feel prepared. As prepared as a green 20 year old can feel about living completely on her own, I guess. But I’m excited about it. Especially since I know it’s one huge step closer to Bryan and I being a married couple. yay!

Ok, well be praying for me please as I make this step in mine, and Bryan’s life.

Keep the Son in your eyes…like I’m trying to do myself
