Well I have been here for almost a whole month!
Its amazing and I love it.
It is really nice being able to just walk to work and walk home. And walk to whatever I might need in between :)
This is a really great scenario, that I have never got to appreciate before, so I'm livin it up.
Its a great moment in my life right now, thanks for following along!

KEYS KEYS KEYS KEYS!!!!!!
Well in 24 hours and 10 minutes I get my keys!!!!!
(That's 4pm on Friday)
IM SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!
Life is gonna be GREAT, expensive, but GREAT!!!!!
I called the office today and it was confirmed that I CAN move my stuff in tomorrow (they were thinking that I wouldnt be able to until Saturday because the carpets might not be dry from getting cleaned, but they were cleaned today so they should be good by this time tomorrow!!!!!) so Mom and I will be taking a load of stuff when we go to sign the lease. I'm taking her along so that a) I can drive into Indy with her while she goes for work and save some gas for myself, b) she can help me carry stuff up, and c) she can take crazy amouts of pics of the whole process!! :)
So maybe tomorrow (if I'm not too tired after moving stuff and from my happy-high) I will be able to upload some "before" pics of the apartment :)

My Mary Tyler Moore Moment Official First Post!
Woooo! This is the OFFICIAL first post of My Mary Tyler Moore Moment :)
The idea for this blog came from the suggestion of one of my mom’s really good friends that I have known for a very long time, which was to create a blog about my apartment searching horror stories. Unfortunately I didn’t get her wonderful suggestion until I had basically found the perfect place, so this is second best. The other half of the idea came from my mom herself when she referred to this new phase in my life as my “Mary Tyler Moore moment.” And so by combining their two wonderful ideas together you get this hybrid. MY MARY TYLER MOORE MOMENT.
I plan on using this to update all of my family and friends about the new happenings in my new journey/phase in life. I’m moving to Indy in case you are not aware and I am super excited about it, even if my two little brothers aren’t. Let’s just say that they don’t quite understand why I am taking myself and all of my stuff and not them. Leaving will be bittersweet to say the least, but I can’t help but feel more excited than sad. And, after all, I am only about an hour and a half away from them!
Well for those of you that don't know yet, I received word this week that my application for my apartment was accepted for the apartment that I wanted in Downtown Indy! AND I finally got word of my official start date for my new job.
The bad news: I get the keys to my new home on December 3rd, move December 4th and 5th, and then start my new job on December 6th. Busy couple of days, but I think I can handle it! At least I am blessed by God to have a place to live AND a good job. And thankfully the place to live is in a GREAT location, and much to the happiness of my parents and close friends, I do not have any element of the “UnHoly Trinity” apparent in my choice of living community.
For those that don’t know the “UnHoly Trinity” was developed by my mom and her co-workers when I was apartment searching, which is another blog story all on its own for a day when it doesn’t still give me nightmares. Anyways, the UnHoly Trinity breaks down into three things that any apartment/house I looked at was ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE. They were as follows: 1) hooker doors, 2) drug windows, 3) critters/bugs. And now you are all probably going, “well yeah, those sound like things I would avoid,” or “WHAT is she talking about???” Haha! Well hooker doors are doors in your bedroom that lead to the outside. Sounds alright, but not in the neighborhoods I was finding houses with them. It was creepy, and as the name suggests, we were pretty sure they were used for one thing, and one thing only. Drug windows are windows that look like you could drive by (or walk by) and do some serious drug dealing from. Yes I encountered a couple of those too. They were commonly located by creepy allies. And well I’m assuming you all know what I’m talking about when I say critters/bugs. I was under the very strict personal rule that I was not accepting any, and I mean ANY rodents/critters/rats/mice/bats/etc. in my new home, and the same goes for bugs whether they are roaches/lice/bedbugs/etc. Not acceptable under any circumstances, and I mean ANY. And while it may shock some of you, I did find more than one of the UnHoly Trinity elements in more than one home. Not cool. Not cool at all. Let’s just say I was in some pretty sketchy places at times, and I’m still praising God daily that he led me out of them safe, secure, and bug free. Haha!
Well as for now I am off to bed, mostly because I realize how much packing I need to get done in the next couple of weeks. That’s right! I’m moving in 16 days!!!!! (Give or take a couple)
Well until then I will “see” you at the next blog!
