Real life... almost!

So, I'm officially an Omaha-ian!! I got the last of my things moved into my apartment on Saturday, but I have to say it doesn't really feel real yet that this is actually my home. As Lauren has said, it just kind of feels like we are staying at a hotel... Having my whole family leave town on Saturday evening and me staying here was a little weird.

Thursday was our actual move-in day, so, of course, it was raining all morning! I got up bright and early in the morning to get as much as would fit out of my apartment in Sioux City into my car and into Kellsey's car. We got as much as we could and headed down south. It was a pretty scary drive between the rain and the mounds of clothes and other things we both had in our cars. It was a team effort to get here trying to weave in and out of the traffic.

We got here and I got my keys and everything and went to explore my new apartment before beginning the process of bringing everything back out of our cars and into my new apartment. And I have to say our apartment was even better than what I had remembered when we came to see it about a month earlier. I was super excited to get everything inside and put away. Before we really started moving things we also ordered pizza, too (much needed after all the packing and the rainy drive!) The rest of the day, after everything was unpacked, was just spent organizing my closet (which is the best part of it all) and unpacking boxes and running to the store with Trent to get a few of the first essential things.

Friday, I did a little more unpacking and also found some time to lay out at our pool. Then, Friday night I went to hang out with two of my roommates from my freshman year at Morningside, Miranda and Kelli, and my sister. We had tacos and margaritas and just hung out and talked. It was a great night!!

Then Saturday, it was back up early and back to Sioux City to meet my parents and my brother to load up all that was left in my dorm room and the furniture from the storage unit that was holding all of the furniture I was getting from Trent since he didn't need it after he moved to Omaha to his new place. So after all that was in my apartment and in place, it was a lot better, and on its way to feeling more like home!

Every day there is a few more things added to the apartment to make it so we can function and cook real meals and stuff. Last night was a new vaccuum and today was a new TV!! So slowly but surely it's getting there... All it takes is a little money, that's for sure!! :) I will post a few pictures of my apartment in the near future when there aren't empty boxes and things sitting around anymore :)

So, tomorrow resumes my job search. I have four different interviews and things this week, so hopefully something will come of one of them!!! Tomorrow morning is a position in Accounting with Union Pacific. I will keep you all posted on my job search, and hopefully it's good news sometime soon!

Fingers crossed!
