Back to the Drill

Today was my first day of a normal 44 hour week in...I honestly can't remember how long.  Tim was off today and being the awesome husband he is, he texted me around lunch time asking what I wanted for lunch.  So he made me a sandwich (even weighed my meat and everything for tracking) and me, being the awesome wife that I am, decided that in reply to opening the apartment door and his greeting of "Hi, honey!" that it would be an awesome idea to say "Where's my sammich woman?!"  It went over about as well as expected.  I will give him credit though...he made my lunch, did some shopping and wrote his schedule on my dry erase board so I don't have to ask him a million times when he's going to be home.

I'm having a huge mental conflict about moving.  I think I had this the last time I moved too.  I know the finances will work themselves out (hardcore budgeter here) but right now I'm just so concerned.  I'm kind of notorious about living within my means.  Always.  Knock on wood, other than whatever I haven't paid off from last month yet, I don't have any debts or credit card interest.  Tim just has his truck loan which we're hoping that he can pay off in the next month.  Its just scary joining finances... especially since he owns his own business and his pay is not set and consistent like mine.  Let's just say it doesn't make me long for my freelancing again to say the least!  So a heavy duty spending month for us next month!  We have:

-October rent due for this apartment 10/1 (literally put the check in the mail tonight)
-mid-October rent (about half) due approx 10/15 (final move in date TBD)
-new rent (full) due 11/1
-3 truck payments for Tim
-credit card balances due by 10/20
-a new bed for the new apartment (squeezing 2 adults in a full bed has definitely not been pretty)

Plus all the other fun odds and ends that come with a move.  November I'm co-hosting a bachelorette party (probably in Atlantic City) and then December brings lots of Christmas shopping and the honeymoon.  Not to mention MY BIRTHDAY (I don't think I'll ever be one of those women that's too old to love her birthday).  So I will be very thankful when January comes around and we can finally start building our savings back up.  I'm hoping that we can get some new furniture for the new place too...I think all we'll need will be bar stools, a couch (maybe chairs too) and the bed as far as big pieces of furniture.  Bookcases and those sorts of things are much easier to get wherever without a ton of thought (I'm not worried about super nice expensive pieces until we're in a house and not moving things every other year).

I guess this girl should probably get to bed since there's another 9 hour day waiting for me in...nope, not even going to count the hours.  Its too tragic.  Good night world!
