Can you believe it? At long last, I am a house renter! Okay, so it isn't home ownership by far, but I am absolutely in love with my little cottage! On Sunday, April 17th, 2011, we trucked our stuff off to the peaceful neighborhood I've been longing to call home! I'm finally in my quaint sleepy town with friendly neighbors.
Since I haven't had a weekend off yet to go through anything, much of my life remains packed away in boxes. I spent my Wednesday off of work trying to get things closer to living order. Unfortunately, that left me today in a state of exhaustion. Currently my stuff is too overwhelming to overcome. I have to organize and put stuff away before I can even think about decorating. I do not believe I will make much progress today; it is too daunting a task for the evening. On the plus side, the moving is over, and the house is ready for me... yaaaaaay!
Now the work begins.

Longing for a Place to Grow
To say that finding an affordable home to rent in my ideal city is difficult is an understatement! I thought that by this point I would be writing about the toils of moving, not mulling over how renting a home from a private party in a small town is as tricky as a job interview.
My search was also put a bit on the wayside when my car was stolen on March 18 (a cruel reminder of my desire for a safe city to call home). These speed bumps have meant I haven't yet moved, decorated, or made any progress whatsoever towards decorating :(
On the plus side, this passed weekend has offered the first rays of sunshine after what turned out to be a very long winter. Now that the weather is suddenly pleasantly warm, I have the inspiration to garden. Granted, my flowers are confined to pots on the patio for the time being. That doesn't mean they won't get the chance to roam free and blossomif I ever when I get a place with a yard.

So far, my meager collection consists of cream Rananculus, a purple Mona Lisa Anemone, some ivy, & a white hyacinth (smells wonderful!). I hope they can find the ground soon.
