I am excited at the moment, because I am preparing to move into my very first apartment. The name of the place is Canterbury Crossing. Is is the nicest place in Abilene, and is so affordable! I am already close friends with one of the neighbors. When I told her I was moving, and to where, she went all shocked and started laughing. I asked her what was wrong, and she said, "You're moving into my neighborhood!" The cool thing is that she sounded excited about it, and not bummed. I will finally have some decent neighbors. I have had some bizarre experiences with neighbors, and currently have drug dealer neighbors (which helps pushing me out of the place). The only neighbors I have actually liked, were when we first moved into town in Merkel (we lived in the country for eight years). We moved next to a girl I went to high school with, and her mother. they were nice people, but they moved to Lubbock shortly after we moved in (coincidence?), and I recently found her mother on facebook.
When i move, I will need furniture, of course, and my current plan is to send out a Flashing Banner on facebook and MySpace to everyone i have on there that goes to the Merkel Church of Christ and North Fifth and Grape Church of Christ (the church I attended in Merkel, and the church I attend here in Abilene), requesting help. Basically, I will ask them, if they have a bed, or couch, of washer/dryer, or dishes, or anything else I might need to help get me started, to give me a call. But I will wait until I know a move date. I am currently waiting on the Crossing to call me. They said they still had to clean the apartment out, then I would sign the lease and move. I was told I should be in by mid-March. Today is 3 March 2009, so I am not so hurried at the moment, but when I comes closer to the fifteenth, I will start to panic a little more...
...but until then, i am staying with my Aunt Martha. She wants to get a two bedroom house together. I told her that I want to experience living on my own for a while. I have never lived on my own, I have always lived with someone, and just want to give it a try. I told her that if i don't like it by the time the first year of the lease is up, I will think about it. she already has found a two bedroom house on Hickory Street, and will be moving as soon as I do (to get away from the drug dealers...), so that's taken care of already.
As I said, I am currently at the Abilene Public Library, my favourite place in Abilene. I plan to get Internet when I move, so perhaps I will be able to post on here more often then. currently, I am limited to three hours. For now, that's good enough; it's better than not getting on at all.
I guess I will post this and see what goes on from there...
