Moving

So i know i said i would try to write more frequently so i don't have to sit down and write these really long posts, but since my last post at the end of June we have been so busy it's like we didn't even have a summer. At the beginning of July we put our house up for sale, and had a few people come look at it right off the bat, but all real potential buyers stopped coming after our first open house. By the second weekend in July we were packing and on our way down to Colorado Springs. My dad, being the saint he is, offered to pay for our Uhaul because Ryan and i were just going to put everything on flat beds and take a couple trips. That would have been the worst decision we could have made. We managed to get 99.9% of our stuff in the one trip with the Uhaul, Debbie's truck, and my car. We made another trip about two weeks later to go get the house ready to be rented since we couldn't managed to sell it and we couldn't afford to pay two house payments. Although it would have been nice to have the house sold we were very relieved to have good renters move in quickly so we only had to pay half a months mortgage on the vacant house.

We have now been moved in and unpacked for almost two months. It's felt like an eternity though! We have tried hard to have an open mind, but every time i leave the house I'm reminded how much i don't want to be here. I have never seen such terrible driving in my LIFE! I swear i get flipped off at least twice a day, cut off at least 5, everyone races from one stop light to the next like they're starving and there's a cheeseburger at the next light, and people have a problem with stopping. I swear once you pull up to a "stop" light, NO ONE STOPS! NO INSTEAD WE ALL CREEP LIKE WE'LL DIE IF OUR CARS ACTUALLY STOP! Plus if YOU stop the person behind you is in your trunk by the time the light turns green which is 5 minutes from the time you "stopped"! On another note people's bubbles around here are like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too small. If i can hear you breathing behind me your too close, or if i can't take one step backwards without hitting your stupid shopping cart your too d*** close. Sheesh i miss my wide open spaces and my large bubble! But we will survive and hopefully only have to be here this one year.
