Now onto the progress!!!!

Dresser, Check
Sofa, Check
Moved Massive TV into bedroom, Check
Entertainment Center, BROKEN!!
Moved Massive TV from bedroom to living room, Check
Unpacked boxes = only 2 left!!!

Wow I have accomplished a lot these last two days, still not the the point where I can just sit and relax and enjoy it just yet but I dont expect more then a weeks work left!!!
The Bertrand (aka Crazy Drunk Coonass) Family Reunion is this weekend at Crooked Creek Campground, so please pray for all of the other innecent campers who just have the bad luck of having to be around my entire family. LOL I hopefully will be sober enough to take pics this year as well. Hopefully this year will be just as much fun as last years!! Good times!!

Moving In!
Ok so I signed the lease, got the keys, unloaded a load, and now I am counting down until I head out to Arnaudville to make my next and FINAL load of "crap". I am taking before, during and after pics so I will be able to share that soon (hopefully).
The main problem I am having right now is finding a place for the MASSIVE television and stand that I bought for Justin. I should not have told him but I did and now I have NO place to put it. Maybe after everything else is in I will find place for it.
The apartment is VERY clean and I like that. Nothing yet to complain about. Hopefully we will be able to keep it that way.
I have my family reunion this weekend so hopefully my unpacking will happen quickly so next weekend I can just enjoy living in my new place!!

Christmas Shopping Early/ Bargain Queen Srikes Again
Yes you have heard it hear. Talor is Christmas shopping in October. With 82 shopping days until Christmas I already have two presents bought.
First allow me to explain how I buy gift. FUNCTION!!!!! If you cant use it at least 10 times in a month you dont need it! And tradition has it that I am the only one who buys my dad's clothes. Not that no one is actually capable, it is just when other people (aka my mom and dad) do they tend to get the oddest clothes that I would not want seen on my dad.
So off to JCPenny I went to buy a shirt and maybe a tie if they had a nice one since he needs a new one. When I walk in they are having a huge sale on men's wear. Long story short I bought a white dress shirt and tie(birthday) and another dress shirt(Christmas) for a grand total of $60!!! Each shirt was originally $40/each and the tie $32. The shopping god is smiling down on me!
Then today a retired co-worker comes in and askes if anyone would want to buy a Big Screen TV and Stand for$200. I thought there is no way so I bought it for Justin's Christmas gift....he better like it!!
Well off to the daily grime.

Bargain Queen Speaking...
Who knew that I, Talor, could be so lucky!! I needed to find a sofa and dining set (I am still working on a coffee table but necessities first). So I start roaming the internet. I came across a few that were decent but too expensive. So I went to JcPenny's website and found the EXACT table i wanted. And it was ON SALE!!! Orignally $500 on sale for $200!!! And they will deliver!
I also think that I have convenced my dad that we can move EVERYTHING in one load! I'll let you know how that works out.
So I call my insurance agent to get renters insurance that I "know" is going to be astronomical right?! WRONG!!! It is only about ten dollars a month and because of multi-policies I get a DISCOUNT on top of that!!! WOO HOO!!
Okay my day cant be going any better right....WRONG! On my way home I see a big sign outside of Home Furniture saying ONE DAY SALE. Well we know that all those furniture places say that all the time, but last time they had a big sale is when I bought my bed and saved a bundle. So I stop in, what is the harm of looking right? So I walk in and with in 15mins I see the exact couch I wanted ON SALE!!! It was $985 only at most dealer but here it was $385 with a 5 year warranty and delievery. The pillows are different and it is only the sofa but you get the idea.

Who Knew Moving Could be soooo Stressful?!
So as you may be able to tell by the title I AM MOVING!!!!! I am soo excited!! I have to go on the tenth and fill out the final paper work and get my keys.....eeeekkkk!!! Then reality hit me when I started packing. I have alot of CRAP. I mean I have some nice things and things I will def use in the new place but I can collect a bunch of meaningless "stuff" in 12years. I dont even remember packing to move to this house so I am clueless.
No matter how many boxes I pack up it still seems like I have soooo much left. I am trying not to bring things I will never use. I only have 650Sqft to work with and I dont want to feel cluttered.
I have scratched a couple things off of my list. I got renter's insurance, I am in the process of changing my address for my bills and bank, and I have ordered a dinning set. Now all I have is 5 billion other things to get done and continue with school and work. I also have to find time to study for a test and work on a group project.
I AM SOOOOOO STRESSED AND OVERWHELMED!!!!
Is this normal? I hope everything settles down by the end of October so I can enjoy my freedom.

Confusion?!
I have been calling for an apartment in Youngsville. I love it but there are none available. The one bed, one bath is all I would need. It is small enough for one and only one. So where does the confusion lie? Justin.
All of a sudden out of the clear blue sky he is "considering" moving to Lafayette. So of course he wants to move in. The pessimistic person I am is saying NO, the Catholic woman that I am is saying NO, but my heart is saying "hey is it really that bad?" So I considered making a Pro/Con list. But I still know no matter what my parents would never forgive me for "living in sin". It is too soon for us to think about getting married, and I DO want to be closer to him but I just dont know.
The one bedroom would be WAY too small for two ppl and all of our STUFF, so that would mean looking for a 2 bedroom that, if he would leave, I could not afford on my own. :sigh: I am stuck and dont know what to do?!

Patiently waiting
Ok not to brag but I have the GREATEST man of all time. (right, like you never heard anyone say that) Friday night I left work and floored it to Lake Charles to suprise him with a "date night". Why you may ask, well allow me to explain myself.
I dont know why but last week I was a totally witch with a ''b''. I dont know why but I know it was me and he never mentioned anything until Wednesday night. And all he asked was if everything was alright. I told him I just havent been feeling myself lately but that I really was not mad at him and I was sorry for taking it out on him. So being the crazy romantic that I am, I started planning.
I already had plans promised to Kendi for Sunday so it would have to be Saturday evening since he usually works Saturdays now. Well I decided that I could go Friday night hang out at the apartment while he was at work and have supper Saturday night and leave late Saturday. You know my plans can never work out as planned so everything got turned around.
Jeremy, Justin's old friend and former boss, called him to see if he wanted to make extra money by working for him Saturday and Sunday. Of course Jus is not going to turn down good $$ so he planned on waking at the crack of stupid and driving into Franklin were the job was being done on location. So we were still able to have our date night.
I never fails that every time I go to LC to visit him we always wind up at Wal Mart within the first hour of me being there. There is always something he or I need/want. So after our traditional shopping trip, we went back to the house to get dressed up. We then headed out to Outback. We ate WAY to much but had a nice time anyways.
I missed not seeing or talking to him this weekend but it was worth it for him.
