Nomad for Life

I have lived in more apartment complexes than I can count on one hand. Actually, I can still count them all on one hand, but you get my drift. I am a nomad at heart, I love having a new house, a new apartment, a new bedroom. A new place to discover, a new part of town you wouldn't neccesarly frequent if you did not live there. I love getting into new routines, the idea of it all is so very exciting, the executing of it is another story. Luckily I married a man who seems to enjoy the same aspects of moving as I and we have been looking at a new place to live since we moved into our current residence. Now don't get me wrong if we did not have a baby this apartment would be perfect for us. We did not find out we were expecting until 4 days prior to moving, a little to late to un-sign our year long lease and all other expenses. But this was a great starting point for us, we met a lot of great neighbors, doggie friends for Zoey and made a real connection to the community in which we live in. I love this apartment complex and we are currently working our asses off to find a way to afford living here in a bigger unit. Sounds crazy to spend so much on a apartment, not building any equity, and throwing $$ away but that is a whole nother blog in itself.

So anywho, as usual Kev and I got to talking about me going back to work, not going back to work, moving, not moving, etc etc last night at dinner and now my duty of the day is to call around and set up appointments for tomorrow. We shall spend the day in the House of Clouse mobile aka big bubba Tahoe touring around our oh so beloved city scoping out a new place to live. So many factors to have to think about now that we are married, have a dog and a baby. A decision rarely is solely based on what WE want, but what is GOOD for our family. That's the hard part about growing up, sometimes you have a lot less fun because your constantly worried about what is SAFE. boo. We are officially old :D

I actually think I would do in a industry such as real estate. That was my favorite part about moving from city to city when I was younger getting transferred with my father's job. We as children always got to tag along with my mother and house hunt. Taking notes, pictures etc. I loved it. Still do. I can walk into an apartment and instantly tell by the smell/architecture if its a go or no.
(ok side note: I am sitting here watching my beloved Today Show and they are talking about fashion trends and I cannot help myself but to comment....they are talking about how the '70's are back!' like hello- no freaking shit sherlock! they have always been back, there has ALWAYS been something or some part of fashion that channeled the 70's. ridiculous.......i guess i really do need to get back to work, get back to the grind of the fashion world. hmmm a thought to ponder).

I am rambling gambling along today, I think it has to do with this super snazzy wireless keyboard I am using that Kev got when we were contemplating canceling our cable and hooking our computer up to our TV and watching Netflix instead. which actually would be awesome except the connection was too slow and our TV sucks ass and I'm slightly attached to my Today Show :D But I do thoroughly enjoy typing on this keyboard. ha.

Welp, off I go to call my apartment complex's management team, then the vet, then the companies I've interviewed with for an update, then set up appointments for tomorrow all the while pumping/feeding/changing Henry and cleaning the house. Ahhhh the life eh?? ha ha
Much love and enjoy your weekend. REMEMBER to TREAT yourself to a lil something this weekend, you DESERVE IT!
