We made it!
Ok, so it's been almost two weeks since my last post, but I didn't have Internet until a few days ago and we've been a little busy :) I have to say, we are settling in really well. I like our apartment fine - nothing spectacular, but the fact that I have much more room is almost enough to get over hating the horrible carpet, kitchen cabinets, ugly light fixtures, etc. Honestly, though, it's a nice place. I'll add pictures next week but I haven't deemed it "good enough" yet to show to anyone.
We are in a new development, so it's quiet, and there are a lot of young families and Air Force peole around (we're about 30 minutes from McConnell AFB) so the neighborhood is nice, and they're building a church and an elementary school down the road, which seems very Kansas-y.
I'm still unemployed, but I'm ok with that for now. I've had several interviews with one company but I won't have an answer from them until the middle of next week. That works out fine, actually, since we're getting our washer and dryer and our mattress delivered next week - I need to be here!
I'm adjusting better than I thought I would to this move. Patryk is so easygoing, he'll be happy wherever he is, as long as he has his "basic comforts," which for him include Internet, tv a couch, and me. Not necessarily in that order. I do wish I had people to talk to during the day when he's at work, but I will once I start working, of course. I did have a mini melt down the other day when I was at the store and briefly considered buying a small potted plant to have indoors.....then I realized that I have no dining room table, no end tables, and our one coffee table didn't survive the move, so I literally had no piece of furniture to set it on. That got me sort of down because I thought, "how is this home?"
It's not quite home, yet. And I do have to remind myself sometimes that I'm not on vacation - this is a MOVE. I think about spending holidays either here alone, just the two of us, or traveling quite a ways to either of our parents' homes, and I get a little lump in my throat. But I know we'll get there. We'll make it feel like our home soon enough.
And in another week, who knows what all could be different?
