Shopping and Moving

Today, we got up and immediately went out shopping. I had been looking at stuff online because the stores around here are usually out or simply don't carry the things I like. It seems like the cuter clothes are reserved for the bigger, better states and South Dakota is not one of them. :( I did find one that I saw online, but it ended up not looking all that great because I have hips.

See? Those blue flower looking things ruined it.

I did find other cute tops that I didn't find online, so yay!

I put some manga books up for sale on ebay. I told Steve not to buy them, but he didn't listen. He ended up not liking them. 7 books into one series and 6 into another. These two series are uber expensive and he's lucky we used my discount on them when I still had the best job ever.

Our lease is up the first week of July so we're moving all our stuff into storage in about 6 weeks. We could renew our lease for another six months, but that really won't work for us since we are moving out of state at the end of August.

We were going to move to Ohio to be closer to my family, but the unemployment rate is just too high (crime rate too) and while I could certainly transfer and he can go to work at home, he wants to find another job. After talking to my dad, we have a few ideas for Steve's career when we get to our destination. Of course, Steve will still do the work at home until he can get hired elsewhere, but we know there will be better opportunities where we are going.

I don't want to say where we are going because I don't want to get certain people excited just to let them down if things don't go as planned. That seems to happen a lot with me. I make plans, tell people my plans, and then disappoint them because I end up not being able to follow through - usually because of finances. I did it to my parents, first with Christmas, then with Easter. I've also done it the last two summers with promising to go see my step-dad in Montana (which really is happening this time, I might add) and then telling miss CC I was coming back to Utah, and the most recent, telling my grandparents we were moving to Ohio.

For the remainder of the day, I will be going through our things and putting them either on ebay, in a box for a garage sale or in the trash. Have a wonderful day!
