Takin' Care of Business

Remember when I told you I had a billion things to do in preparation for my move to Wisconsin? Well...most of them are done. I got super productive (or super paranoid, your choice) and spent the first part of the week making plans and doing research for the relocation. I've hired movers in BG and Madison, reserved a Uhaul, and set up a weekend trip to fly up and look at apartments. Hopefully I'll find one then, and I'll be all set!

Granted there are a few loose ends left to tie up; I still don't know if I'll have to pay the $2,000 to break my lease, and I need to find a good hair salon and pet sitter in Madison. But those are things I can easily take care of when I get up there for good. I also need to get a heavy coat and some boots for the winter that will be there (from what I've heard) before I know it.

I was really scared about making this move, but now I'm not. Fear is a tool the devil uses to keep us from receiving the blessings God wants us to have. God wouldn't have given me this wonderful opportunity if He didn't intend on watching over me through the process.

I'll keep you posted as things happen, and I'll definitely let you know what happens on my apartment-hunting trip in August. I'm so excited--things are really looking up!

Three Good Things:

• I'm finally caught up on of the donor letters I've been needing to print.
  
• Leftover potstickers for lunch today.
• I've got the ENTIRE WEEKEND OFF, and I'm spending it with my favorite people--my family!
  

Tired is an understatement at this point.

I'm currently on Day 3 of working a week straight at my part-time job. I'm having problems keeping my eyes open, hence the lack of updates. At the end of the week, I'll hopefully be awake enough to write something awesome for y'all. Until then...*yawn*

Three Good Things:

• My boyfriend is awesome.
• I'm gonna get a nice check from all these sleepless, work-filled nights.
• Fruit Roll-Ups.
  

This just in...

I know I haven't posted in what feels like decades, and I'm sorry--baby girl is busy, y'all. Here's a quick update on what' going on in la vida de Ashley:

• Marcus and I broke up; the long distance thing just wasn't working out. He and I both agreed that we didn't have time for a relationship that required so much traveling and effort, but if we're meant to be, we'll be.
• I met a new guy that I've been hanging out with. He's super sweet, but I'm not giving out too many details simply because I don't want to jinx anything. He's awesome though--and only an hour and a half away! :)
• I started my new job and it's awesome. I love the fast pace and the people I work with, and I don't feel like I'm working myself to death and not getting anything out of it anymore.
  
• I'm going to see Taylor Swift in concert at the state fair this weekend. I'm the most excited about it--and the corndogs that I'm going to eat before, during, and on the way home from the concert.
• I'm still broke.

More to come, I promise!
