Old Soul, Young Heart

*sigh* A person from the apartment company in Deer Creek called to say that they have an opening in the same area of townhomes that we were looking at a few months ago. I am sad and disappointed because we won't be moving there. Now that we're engaged, I need to be thinking about paying for a wedding and I can't justify spending $800+ on rent when I'm paying half that to live with my dad. I'm also worried about my car and making that drive every day. Philip's job at Proctor isn't super permanent in that if something came up in Bloomington, he'd want to take that instead. I'd be really annoyed living in Deer Creek and both of us driving to BN for work. I'm bummed and I know he is too, just because we would like to live together and see each other every day. The townhome is super cute and I would love to live there, but my responsible and financially-worried sides are just saying it wouldn't be the best choice right now. It was really har...

We didn't get the place in Deer Creek. Ashley called last night at like 8:00 to tell me that they chose the other people. We're bummed, but we're also the first people that they'll call if another place opens up. It just wasn't meant to be, I guess. I've been perusing the internet for brown shiny riding boots the entire summer. I'd been going back and forth about buying some that were more expensive and better quality versus just getting some cheap ones. I realized that I won't be wearing them much, so it wouldn't be worth spending the money on real leather and whatnot... so I found these last night and liked them and just went for it. I'm ready for fall now! I still need to find that black and white striped top, though.

Philip and I went to look at the place in Deer Creek last night. It's really nice and super cute; we really hope we get it! There is another couple interested, so Bob (the property manager--he's young and should not be called Bob, but that's his name, nonetheless) is supposed to call me today and let me know if we're chosen. Both of us feel as though we're not going to be picked. The other couple really wanted to move in on September 15 when it's first available and, although we're open to that too, our ideal time for some reason was October 1. We made it clear to Bob, though, that we would be happy to move in on September 15 if we could get the place! Since it's already noon and I haven't heard anything, I'm assuming we're not being picked. I won't be totally heartbroken, but I'm pretty excited about it! Bob said if we weren't chosen we'd be placed on a waiting list and would be the first people he calls if something else op...
