The Bog
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
I've been busy, so, no postings for a while.
I was hoping to do a "Year In Review", but there's just been so much I never dedicated the time to it. So, I'll just post an update on the last two months - there's been a lot.
S & I have set a date - March 31, 2007. We're going to be wed at the The Colonial Inn in Norwood, NJ. The wedding will be followed by 1.5 hours of cocktails, then a 4 hour reception. It's going to be nice. We've booked our DJ and minister, still checking on photographer and musicians.
Ex is leaving the company. Today is her last day. She's going to work for IBM as a telecommuting consultant. Nice job, actually. She told me that one of the big reasons she's leaving is because of S and I. I kind of feel bad about that, but, on the other hand, I'm not exactly torn up about it. I have my life to live and she has hers. They're two seperate things now, and I'm not going to restrict myself any more.
A decision has been made with my living situation. I'm not going to reup my lease in April. In a couple weeks I'm going to tell my landlord that I'm moving out at the end of my current lease. I'm going to move in with S and her Mom in their basement for a while, then S and I will take over the 2 bedroom apartment her Mom has at the house.
There is currently a tenant in there with her son, but they're going to be kicked out. They have been trying to get disability for the last 2 years, but it's on hold. During that time, S's Mom hasn't been getting any rent. She's owed $18,000 in back rent! She's been waiting for them to get the disability before asking them to leave, but she's becoming more and more convinced that they're just not really pushing for things to be taken care of because they have a free ride on her ticket.
So, out they'll go shortly, then S and I take over the apartment for $800 a month, which is about $300 less than I'm paying now. And it's only 5 miles from work, instead of 35 miles. Her Mom will cover utilities, too. It'll let S and I save a lot of money before the wedding, which we can use to buy a house. I'm hoping to save $30,000 by then.
At the office we've been moved to another place in the building while they redecorate our old area. We go back to the old area (another place in it) next week. Lucky us - we're going to be right outside the CIO's office. He's a real prat.
As for transportation, since the last repair the car appears to be okay. Our current plan of action will be for S to trade in her car and we'll lease a truck. I've got my eye on the Toyota Tacoma. It has good ratings and I can get a V6 4x4 with 4 doors and extended bed. Should be nice for when we have a family.
That's about it for now. I'll try to update a bit more frequently.
