Life At The Moment

This post is a melting pot of thoughts in my head at the moment. Sorry it is so long. I just needed to vent some of this! You deserve a treat if you make it all the way to the end!

Life at this very moment is odd. It is really strange not having my sister around. I am having a very hard time adjusting to that. Yah, I lived without her for 4 years, but that was alwasy me moving out of the house. I always knew she would be there at mom and dad's house. And now she isn't. The past 7 months she has been my buddy every single night after work. We do everything together. We live together and yet last month alone we talked on the phone for 11 hours! She is the peanut butter to my jelly. I miss her so much. I didn't realize how much I was going to miss her. I must be crazy to think I can move to Texas and be okay! The first few nights she was gone I was really depressed. My little sis' is all grown up, and married! It just seems unreal. I am so happy for her and Adam. But I am selfish and want my best friend/roommate back!

Travis is currently waiting to find out what is going on with management. This in itself is odd. We just have to sit here and wait, and wait, and wait until someone decides to pick up a phone and call him. It is really annoying. We both spend so much time wondering what the heck is going on. Right now this is consuming so much of our time. There is a lot riding on this position for him, and not knowing what is going on is just infuriating. Hopefully soon we have some news. And God willing, it will be good news!

Pregnancy. As most people know, I love babies (and kids too!). I would love to get pregnant the day Travis and I get married. But I know that won't be happening. Travis has already firmly stated that we will be waiting at least a year. However, having so many pregnant friends around me is not helping this situation at all. It seems at though everytime I turn around someone either just had their baby and now someone else is announcing their pregnancy! It is just crazy! I love all of my friends, and I am truly so happy for them! I just want it to be my turn. By the time Travis and I catch up, my friends will either be having their 4th child or be done with kids! But come to think of it, that might not be that bad, we will have lots of hand-me-downs! This could work to our advantage!

Texas. Good ol' Texas. I still would love to move there. However, it seems that the longer and longer this management stuff is taking, the further and further moving seems to get. Not only that, but the price of condo's in the area right now is just crazy. If Travis is to get management, would could definetly buy a condo, possibly even a house, depending on how the market keeps going. So, if we could afford something here in Cali, it would be a little crazy of us to leave. Not only that, but the housing market in Dallas seems to be going up, which is not good for us. When we first started talking about moving I would look up homes, and there were at least 30 or 40 in our price range. Today I looked and there were 5. The housing values are going up, and as it is if we move out there we want to wait at least a year to purchase something. Which gives the housing values more time to go up. We are going to have to see what the next few months brings. We have some big decisions ahead of us.
