Well I’ve done something major in my life. I made a decision to move out of state to somewhere I’m going to be happy and so instead of talking about it I decided to do it. Tuesday night after work my mom and I got into an argument about money and I just am totally sick of it. I don’t feel like totally going into it but I’ll just say my mom likes to nickel and dime me and in my eyes right now I was working 2 jobs and still going to school. I paid my own vehicle, car insurance, gas, food half the time, satellite, cell phone, etc… and her and my dad don’t pay for electric, rent, heat, etc… since it’s all included with his job. People might think I’m bratty for not wanting to give her money but I’m barely scraping by as it is trying to make sure everything is done and paid for. She doesn’t work and has piss poor money management skills and hearing about financial issues every day of my life gets incredibly irritating. During that stint when I moved closer to Buffalo my mom and I got along a helluva lot better than we do when we live together and get closer.

So now I’m currently residing in West Virginia about 450 miles from where I lived in NY. I’m living with my aunt and uncle and things are going splendidly so far. I have a job lined up which I applied for today and my aunt and uncle have a relative who is going to get me in, supposed to start at $8/hr. Then they own a house down the road about 1/4 of a mile which is 2 bedroom and it’s only $100/month since they’re leasing it. It has a yard and a creek runs through the front. It needs some TLC and they haven’t had a whole lot of time to work on it but we can. We fully intend to as well. They said we can stay as long as we want in it, as long as we keep it clean and pay the $100/month. In about 3-4 weeks the people living in it right now are moving into the house they’re fixing up and then we can get into it. Randy has a job lined up on the mountain working nights possibly and making $50/night. With 2 incomes and paying only $100/month rent we can live pretty comfortably. 2 days of work pays the rent and things are dirt cheap down here in comparison to NY. I’ve always been a country girl at heart so I’m glad I decided to stop talking and produce some action instead.

My mom wasn’t totally fond of the idea because we literally didn’t say goodbye to anyone or anything because it was a last minute rapid decision. We’re keeping in touch and will continue to. I’m making a trip up there sometime within the next month to get the rest of my stuff. Then we can move it into the house but for now we’ve got their second living room as a bedroom and it’s pretty comfortable. I’m happy overall with my decision and I don’t have a regret it regards to it whatsoever.

As for the situation with Randy, I’m not going too in depth but we’re dealing with it and are going to be just fine in my mind. We’re happy with one another and the circumstances aren’t exactly ideal but our minds arent changing so … I guess that’s it.

Here I’m on dialup so I can’t be online as often as I’d like but it’s alright, I could stand to back off a bit. As for college I’m taking a year or two off… there are schools down here but I’d like to be a resident so I don’t pay double tuition or anything along the lines of that. But now I’m going to go and cook something to eat and expect an update sometime soon. I’ve got a lot of time until I start working and once we move into our house we’ll have a lot of stuff to get done. We’ve gotta paint and stuff like that to make it more “home-y”.
