Hey everyone! It's been a crazy week! I woke up around 6 a.m. on moving day because I couldn't sleep and it took all day to load up the trailer, I have way too much crap! I finally got out of town around 9:30 p.m. Then the 12 hour drive began. I tried to take a nap at a rest stop, but it was way too loud with all the passing cars. So I only got about an hour nap. Arrived in Jax around 9 a.m., got the storage unit, then the hotel. But since my dad left 6 hrs later than I did, I had some time to wander around.
Dad finally arrived...then I freaked out because at first it looked like all my crap wasn't going to fit in the 5x10 storage unit. But we stacked it to the ceiling and lost about 2 lbs in water from the heat. A little tip: make a list of the things you will need access to. And put them close to the door. Having to take things in and out is not fun. Especially in the hot humid air of Florida.
Dad and I went to the beach...free parking imagine that! Then I took him out to dinner. He left at 1:30 a.m. on Sunday...that is a lot of driving in a 3 day span.
Thanks again dad for helping me move down. It would have been a lot harder without you and I really appreciated having you there.
Spent all Sunday and Monday looking at apartments. I found the area and complex I want and was accepted. I move in august 12th. So I get to live in this hotel till then. If you want to see the apartments check out Courtney Meadows in Jacksonville...very nice if I do say so myself. A little tip: If you don't have a job they are a little hesitant to renting to you, so I had to show I had enough savings to cover the whole lease.
I took the jet ski out yesterday and played at the state park...it was a blast! It was beautiful and 2-4 ft waves all day. You get to drive your car right on the beach, park, and lay beside it if you want to. Plus, the beach was pretty packed for a Tuesday. Thanks to Vanessa and Stephen for letting me keep my ski at their place till I move in mine.
I had to rearrange the storage unit today to get my computer out so I could start doing some research on the job market and a new car (Rav 4 SUV). It is beyond humid down here! I looked like I stepped out of the shower while I was moving things around.
I will talk to you guys soon!
