California Bound

Alright I am not moving to Utah. Instead it's California. A number of reasons.

1. The only reason I was going to move to Utah was the bus transit. Turns out California has one too.
2. My dad's family is in Cali. If I ever do get into a bind, they can help out.
3. It's cheaper! Yes, believe it. California, at least my area, is cheaper than SLC, Utah or anywhere in utah for that matter. Mormon state is expensive.

I already found a mobile home but I have to wait to call them until I move. But it's big enough for me and my two cats. I don't for sure have the mobile home yet so here's to hoping.

Change of Plans (again)

Just a quick update; i'm not moving into that apartment either. Read some bad reviews of it. Supposedly they have roaches (lots!) and BEDBUGS! No one knows this but that's like one of my fears. I've never come into contact but i'm scared when i'm sleeping all innocently that bugs are attacking me. Ugh! Nightmare come to life.

But I found this house in Ogden that is 1 bedroom and over 900 sq ft. Only $650 a month and $550 the first month as a special deal. But i'm not going to call until January. If it's still available then great. If it isn't, oh well. Not much I can do about it. It's perfect though!

Front of The House. It's prettier in summer I swear haha.

The entry. I think it's called the mudroom. It's just a little space when you walk in. I think it's pretty handy because of all the snow you track in from outside.

Other side of the mudroom.

The living room. Yay a traditional fireplace :) I don't know what those glass thingies are though...

The full view of the living room. Love this! Look how open it is! AND THAT ARCH! I love little architectural designs. Oh and it has built in book shelves.

And the living room again, leading to the kitchen.

The kitchen! Love how roomy it is. Compared to my kitchen now, it's a masterpiece :/

Another view of the kitchen. I am wondering why that cupboard is like that...shouldn't the fridge go there...And that door leads to a hall.

More kitchen.

Another view of the kitchen. For some reasons I love windows above sinks...I love how clean the kitchen looks.

The bathroom. Only thing i'm not liking. It's so tiny and that sink...

At least it's clean, right?

The bedroom

Other side of the room.

Wonder what this leads down to...

Oh, just a BASEMENT! I'm sorry but in Texas (at least the area I live in) we don't have basements. Bad soil or something. IDK. So having one is very is exciting, where I can work on my art or zombie experiments :P

The water heater.

The... I don't know. This is my first house okay? 

Rest of the room. At least it's mostly finished.

Back of the house.

Fenced yard? YES!

 And that's the house I want. So bad. It's perfect for me and Charlie and possibly Daisy. Perfect. Half hour away from my future college, mall, walmart, etc.

Change of Plans

Not on moving, but on where i'll be moving to. I'm still headed towards Utah, but i'm moving to Layton, UT instead of West Jordan. It's a bit away (a whole 1.5 hours away from Orem by bus!) from everything but it is where another vet tech program is and the apartments are cheap. The apartment i'm looking at has a 1 bedroom for only $500 even. And animals up to 70 pounds are aloud AND $100 less for the pet deposit. It's also right across from the mall and 20 minutes walking distance from the college. Still close to bus lines, which is perfect. I checked on plane tickets and it's $197 with one stop in between, in Phoenix, AZ. Only a 5 hour flight though, which is good since i'm taking Charlie with me. Don't know how i'm going to ship Daisy to me...I'll figure it out.

But this way I will need less help from my dad since it's way cheaper than the $600 apartments in West Jordan. Don't know how i'm going to get from SLC to Layton though. That's a 30 minute drive...not too bad, but will probably be around $50 cab fare...*sigh*

The layout of the apartment. Not too shabby, even though it has no washer/dryer. I'll deal. Perfect size for me and my girls. Anyone know what the WH stands for in the dining area?!

The Studio

 Here are pictures of the studio from their Apartmentguide.com site.  I love the layout of the studio and I love granite countertops :)

The Layout is pure love <3 I love it! Big for a studio as well. Love how a three seater can actually fit in the living room, but i'll probably just buy a love-seat and a recliner, so a desk can fit in there as well.

I love the wood grain cupboards/cabinets and the granite counters and silver sinks. This kitchen has the style of my dream kitchen, except there would be a better stove and it would be way bigger. LOL

All in all I love it from the pictures. And it's the closest complex to my college so it's 100% the place i'm moving into. 

Two More Months

It is November 11th and all I can think about is only 2 more months until I'm finally on my own. I am twenty-three next month, yet I still live with my dad, step-mom, and brothers. But that all will change on February 10th. I am leaving to Utah. Yes, yes, I know. Most of everyone is saying "ew, why are you so happy?" or "sounds boring". Well I grew up there, actually I grew up in alot of places. But I loved it there and I get to see actual snow again and my childhood friends live there. I am very excited to go back. I am moving to West Jordan, UT so I can get into Broadview University's vet tech program. I found a small apartment 10 minutes away by bus. It's only $599 (which is a good price, considering it is Utah). I am moving February, because I want to wait until I get my taxes back. Last year I got around $900 back and if I get even close to that much back I can use it for furniture, food, etc. Dad said he'd help me with the apartment bills until I get sitiated AKA get a job lol I've only ever worked for Wal-Mart so it's good to get away from that sort of work environment AKA they suck. I will be moving to Utah on my own, with no support in state (besides friends) so I will have to work hard. In the early hours I will be going to school and in the later hours I will be working.

That is just to let you get a feel of my story so far. Now I won't be entirely alone. I will be taking my two "daughters" with me;

Charlotte (Charlie-bottom) and Daisy (top) will be coming with me. Daisy is now 4 months old and is Charlie's daughter (last of her litter to stay). Charlie is around 2 3/4 years old.

At least they can keep me company :)
