new place

so long, casa dea!

hello, timpanogas gateway!
amber and i moved in today and i'm so excited. but still exhausted. oi.

amber got to the new place while i was still at work and so she got to check the whole place out and let me know how cool it was. apparently, i and our thusfar anonymous new roommate both have ceiling fans in our rooms. amber doesn't. also, my room is the largest of the three. i'm still not sure why that is, but considering that i have the most crap of all of us (assuming the new roommate doesn't have as much as me) it makes sense.



I also have a walk-in closet....which i immediately walked into so i could take a picture. and here's what the rest of the room looks like:

i'm really excited to live here! if only moving weren't such a great black hole, sucking all the fun out of life.

moving along

i'm all packed. finished this morning freakishly early. here's the evidence:

i think i have too much stuff : /

oh happy day!

amber got a call while she was at work from diana, the manager of where we were planning to live.

diana called to say that the only other apartment there that she managers has one girl who decided not to sign. one free spot. then she was looking through her paperwork and found that another girl just hasn't resigned yet. another free spot. she's going to save them for us.

yay! we have a place to live again!

accepted

i'm leaving la. rather, i've already left. but i have a new story to tell.

we were watching accepted (a movie that i think is hilarious but have only before seen edited) non-edited when i got a call from the manager of my new apartment. or, she was the manager until the owners of the condo decided that they wanted to run the managing of it and put their own kids in. the manager said that she had our (amber's and my) security deposits and wondered how we wanted to get them, either to have her mail it or we come pick it up. i was in shock so i had to tell her i needed to talk to amber.

so i called amber and had to leave a message. then i sent her a text a while later because she hadn't called back and explained it again. she freaked out. read the contract and found out that the contract states that before 90 days before the start of contract, if the owners back out we get $50. after that - i.e. 90 days before the start of contract - they cannot break contract. amber's going to talk to the manager, diana, and figure this out.

in the mean time, after we finished watching accepted we all piled into the car and went to souplantation. this most delicious of places to eat. they have soup and salad and pasta. they also have these really little ice cream cones that were a source of conflict for cami and i. by that i mean that while i was eating mine she reached over and hit my hand so it went in my face a little bit. it wasn't much so i just played it off until she wasn't looking so i smeared the side of her face. a battle ensued that ended with ice cream covering our arms and faces. then she got out the butter and smeared my face with it before we finally decided to just go wash up.

then we went home and i got all packed. clint and cami drove me to catch the flyaway to go to the airport to fly home. i talked to a bunch of friends and read a little bit before catching my flight. mom picked me up from the airport and we met dad for dinner at the littleamerica hotel in salt lake. then we drove to my little sister's house to sleep. tomorrow i have work and then friday i'm going home to ogden to do laundry.

it was a really fun vacation and i am so, so happy that i was able to go. thanks to eden, clint, flynn, cami and christianna for making it so very much fun!

amy

i flew to la tonight. my flight attendant was really funny and put me in a really good mood by his sense of humor. unfortunately, the good mood didn't last.

as i was getting off the plane i got a call from amy, my roommate. she asked me when i would coming home and i told her a week.

she told me she is moving out this weekend. going home to idaho falls.

while i'm gone.

in la.

i haven't seen her since last week, wednesday. i told her that was fine and that she needed to drive safe. she told me to come visit her.

once we got off the line, i started to cry. for some reason too little sleep and bad news don't mix well. i got off the plane last and went in search of my luggage, hoping no one noticed the ninny-ness of me. got to the baggage claim, walked immediately outside so that i could cry in the semidarkness. called my mom and talked to her about it. she didn't really agree with me when i said it was the best thing for amy, but she let me cry. she told me to call my dad since he is always very calm. i told her that i usually am.

but then i had to get off the phone and find my bag so that i could meet my brother-in-law, clint. i also had to stop crying so that clint wouldn't think me a ninny. by the time he got there i had stopped crying enough that i don't think he knew that i had been. we drove to his house and i got to see eden, flynn and cami.

we joked and had some fun before going to bed. the end. :)
