Moving review

A girl in my math class is going to college in Scotland. This really nice guy she's dating is going to Northwestern. It is embarrassing to say where I'm going when people ask. Nobody I know is going there and a few people even said "Oh, that was my safe school" when I told them. Everyone is discussing which Ed Hardy bedding package thing they're getting for college. What is everyone doing with all their old comforters though?

Yesterday morning, very early, Josh and his dad came over before Aunt Elaine was awake. Josh's dad wanted to see how much stuff we have to move. He said we are not taking our mattresses or any of Aunt Elaine's furniture in our room (the dresser). I looked at Josh like "what the fuck?!" because I do not want to make my sisters sleep on the floor. He shook his head and pulled me into the hallway. Josh's parents are getting a trundle bed for Danielle and Alex.

It was kind of embarrassing when Josh's dad asked if he could see how much was in the closet and when Alex opened it we realized there was a box of tampons right there on the top shelf. Ugh. We worked so hard Friday to clean up our room and make everything really neat, throwing out stuff and organizing I forgot to make sure there wouldn't be anything embarrassing laying around.

Josh's father said everything will fit in their SUV, and didn't get angry when we asked a total of about five times if we can bring our mom's stuff. He said we may have to make two trips but assured us everything will fit. Josh told me there is storage in the basement of his building - that's where people keep bikes and skiis and Christmas decorations. So my mom's stuff can go there for July and half of August. I can not WAIT until we move after Josh's house and we can open up the boxes and put my mom's things all over to look at and touch every day.

I'm so excited and happy for you....comparing your situation to others is like apples and cd's, which is to say, impossible.

You're doing a fantastic job at this life, you really are.

I'm so glad that this worked out for you. And that his dad is going to buy your sisters a bed is amazing. It shows that his dad must be a genuine person. Your lucky to have their help :-)
Good luck with your move. I bet you simply can not wait to move on with your life it will improve greatly once you're out of that apartment.
