A lot has changed in a month...

So, it has been a while since I have blogged, BUT a lot has happened in that one month. That is my excuse, just no time to blog when trying to figure your life out. I am slowly trying to get my life together and now I feel as though I am close, so blogging is in order.

In the past month I have graduated from training (I am on 'the floor' now) and I have moved from Huxley (middle of no where) to downtown Des Moines (EaSt ViLLaGe). The move made me happy but wasn't very exciting for Beau. He is having a hard time grasping the fact that I will be living in DSM for a year without him. I am not asking him to put his life on hold for me, because I am doing what I need to do for me and I think that he should do the same. If that puts us in the same place in a year then good. If not, well then that isn't how it was meant to be I guess. I am hoping that in this coming year I will learn a lot more about who I am, what I want and how I am going to get it.

I haven't explored my new surroundings but know that I will not be disappointed with the many things to do. There is a piano bar just down the street, along with The House of Bricks (I love live music so this works out great) I love how I am so close to work (I plan on walking or taking the bus to save gas money) and also that if people decide to visit we don't have to worry about how we are getting home because I don't live far! I also plan to get a part-time job down by my place. This will help me save a little money, or atleast have some spending money and get to know the area and meet people in the area. I contacted the piano bar near my place and am actually picking up an application after work today. I will keep you posted. I for sure want to try and find a part-time gig at a place that has live music. Then I can get PAID to see live music instead of paying cover to get it. It really is a win/win situation. The down side to a part-time job would be that my weekends and evenings would probably be pretty shot.

I am still getting myself settled but I do have all my things in my apartment. I am excited to start this new chapter in my life and live the ♥EaSt ViLLaGe♥ lifestyle for a while. Let me know if you want to come visit!
