Steps

I am trying to heal, some days I take great strides, others I fall backwards. Lately I have been working on some of the steps needed to start the next phase of my life.

-Found an apartment! I move in the First of August. I am very excited, but also rather apprehensive. In my almost 30 years of life, I have never lived on my own. This will be another new experience.

-Purchased a couch, chair, and ottoman for said apartment. This is the first large purchase I have made on my own. They will be delivered to the apartment. I can't wait!

-Between my parents, friends, and co-workers I should have enough furniture set up my apartment with out having to drop much more cash on large purchases. Thank you! You are all incredibly awesome and have provided more support then I could have ever wished for from any of you.

-Started looking for the smaller items I will need to obtain. It is fun to be able to look and shop for myself. I have realized that I am not sure what are my tastes or what are tastes that were formed because any shopping done previously had to be approved and permission granted for any purchases. Although it is liberating to be able to go to a store and buy whatever I want, it is also a little overwhelming.

Over all, things are coming together for me to be able to move into my own place and start my own life!
