I'm putting us on a 300 day plan. 300 days to move out of this house and into our own place... whether that be an apartment or rental house. July 1st, 2011 is actually 302 days away, but that's the day that I'm aiming for. It means that we will be celebrating Leilani's 2nd birthday in our own place, as it should be. To be able to make this happen we will need to:
1) Both have graduated from school.
2) Both have full time jobs.
3) Have very little debt.
I think this is manageable. I'm going to start my internship in January (hopefully) and Mike should start his in May or June. Mike's timing regarding his internship may be the biggest potential setback but I'm hopeful that he can get in and started and get hired on full time.
This has been a long time coming. When we moved in here, we originally said it would be for 2-3 years max. It's been about 3 1/2 years now. We have just had bad luck and setback after setback. It's been really hard for me especially, going from a beautiful 2 bedroom townhouse that I loved into, basically, a small studio. And I have always hated having roommates (with one exception), and this experience has been like having a roommate that is always around. But knowing that I can put a time line on living here makes it easier.
So 300 days... let's start the countdown.
