So it's been CRAZY around here! Rodney and I moved at the beginning of September downtown to manage an apartment complex, aka for free rent. Well I kid you not, less than 24 hours after we signed the contract and started to move Rodney gets this phone call. I couldn't tell what he was talking about but when he got off the phone he had a "you're never going to believe this" look, which can be good and can be disasterous. Our Union Meadows manager lady had just called asking if we wanted a management position there. Heck yes we do!! Although things would have been ten times easier if we'd gotten the call the day before. lol, now we're living downtown for a month (without furniture cause it was too big of a hassle to move it all down and back) until the beginning of October and then we'll be back in the suburbs. Thank heavens!
I don't know how all y'all feel about the downtown life... I thought it would be fun... but I have officially decided I never ever want to do it again!! (which Rodney is eternally greatfull for seeing as his goal is a ranch in the middle of no man's land. I haven't quite gotten to that point...) I like being able to leave my car unlocked for two seconds to run back and grab something out of the house, or being able to take a walk in bare feet without fear of stepping on something nasty or being attacked, and I especially like being able to park wherever I dang well please without having to pay somebody 5 bucks. Stupid.
But all in all this month has been a great humbling and learning experience for both of us. No dishwasher will teach one super quick to do the dishes immediatly after eating, and I've never been so greatful for normal brown carpet. (ours is this rather terrible shade of forest green... with blue swirly tile in the kitchen and a pink bathroom! I think the designer was high.) And I've increased my directional abilities 10 fold in the past couple weeks. Thanks to getting lost for hours trying to find the bank, grocery store, WalMart, and let's not forget the freeway!
Also on the subject of new... I cut my hair! Well, more like chopped. It's so short! I was TERRIFIED about the whole ordeal but I think it turned out ok! I'll always like my super long beautiful hair better, but there comes a point when it's ridiculous to keep up. So I cut it short and now can grow it back out long... till it drives me crazy and I start the whole vicious cycle again! lol. What do you think? I need an opinion poll... mostly about the bangs....
Did I mention we also bought a new car? A Nissan Murano, 05. I LOVE it! Love love love! (and not just cause it's a beautiful burgandy color and has lots of big cup holders) I forgot to get a picture of it and am far to lazy to run out and take a picture now, so you'll all have to use your imaginations. Oh, and we did all of this, being the move, the car and the hair all in the same week. And what scared me the most? The hair of course. : ) Rodney thinks I'm nuts.

I love the hair, and I totally think Heavenly Father does stuff like that (the whole apartment thing... (oh, and the getting lost thing) just to have a good laugh....
I think getting out of your comfort zone is a GOOD thing. Living downtown for a month (let alone a month) never hurt anybody! AND having SEEN your apt, it isn't THAT bad! It so definitely could be worse!
