Determination

Have you ever wanted something really badly?

Right now, I want something very, very badly. I want to feel like I am fully independent. While I appreciate everything that my parents have done/are doing for me, I really want to move to an apartment. I want to cook in my own kitchen, eat at my own table and bake using my own bakeware. I want to curl up on a couch in the evening to watch a movie. I want to come home to my own home at night. I want to entertain my friends in my own comfortable environment. I want Laney and Alie to have play dates and not feel weird about it. I know it sounds silly, but these things are what I miss. They are what I think about on a daily basis.

I desperately want my independence. I have interviewed for a job that has the salary to get me where I want to be. I haven't heard anything (and its been over a week), so I'm guessing that I didn't get it, but I'm still thinking about it, dreaming about it, wanting it so badly! In the meantime, I'm picking up some extra responsibilities and building my resume. I am determined to get there!

I have the apartment all picked out. I'm waiting for the day when the girls and I can pack our bags and have our own place, just the three of us!
