Welcome to Tolland

I finally got up enough courage to move out of my parents house and into an apartment with Karl. It was a lot harder on me emotionally than I thought. I shed a lot of tears and sometimes I still feel sad about it. I feel like a chapter in my life is over because I probably won't ever live with my parents again. It was safe and comfortable there and I liked being so close to them. But this is what I need to grow and become and adult. Moving out was definitely the right thing to do and it's okay that it was hard and that I still feel sad sometimes. I only live about 25 minutes away from their house and I've been back there almost every day since I've moved so it really hasn't been that big of a deal. It just feels weird.

I'm still getting used to our new place. Overall it's nice but it definitely wasn't cleaned as well as it should have been. Karl and I have spend many hours cleaning the place which is good but also bad because it makes me angry! I just keep wondering WHY these things weren't cleaned BEFORE we moved in!! Anyway, our bed frame arrived today so we're going to put it together tonight so we won't have to sleep on the floor anymore. Our couches should be here soon, I hope. Raymour and Flanigan keep pushing the delivery date back and I'm getting annoyed with them. I think once they get here it will feel a lot more homey. I don't feel completely comfortable here yet and I guess that's normal. I'm sure in a few more weeks I'll feel better.
