Craziness!!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while but my life has been insane. About 10 days ago the woman who owns the house where I live informed us that she is taking on a corporate let and so we had two weeks to find a new place! UGH!! So I've been out basically every night hunting down places and then we also had assessments that I was giving last week so I have been absolutely exhausted. Since the big moving announcement I have been to the gym precisely twice...not good! However, I have definitely been getting some exercise running around all over town seeing some scary places to be sure...one where you had to climb this rickety wooden ladder up to the room...oh dear!...and then it rained for three days straight so I ran around soaking wet and the predictable outcome was that I got sick. Feeling mostly better now, I've just been resting this weekend. In the midst of it all however, I did have QUITE an experience one morning on my way to work...walking through the park I saw this guy and from a distance I had the thought...WHOA! that dude need NOT wear leggings that tight...as he got closer I saw that he was wearing no leggings whatsoever! It was CRAZINESS I tell you! He had on a navy blue sweatshirt that he was holding up at chest level and his trainers(running shoes)...and nothing in between...it was ridiculous! When I got to school Linda called the police and I made a report and everything. Definitely not your everyday commute...lol

However, the super good news is that I do have a place to live...a very very gorgeous place...the bathroom is WOW! hee hee Martha, one of my friends at work, was also looking for a place and we decided to team up. And Friday we found our new home. It was priced higher than our price range but we offered closer to our range and it was accepted so we are hoping to be able to move in this Friday/Saturday. WHOO HOO!!! I'm a little nervous about how much more I'll be paying a month than I am now but we really are paying a fantastic price for what we got. We looked at places that were about 200 pounds less than this place...so 100 each per month...and there was just absolutely NO comparison. Of course we may be eating peanut butter sandwiches for every meal for the first six months but hey...we'll be eating them in an incredible setting...lol I'll be sure to post some pics as soon as I can. :)

This week we're getting ready for the international show at school and so it's going to wild again...and of course in the middle of it all I need to be packing so please just keep me in your prayers cause it's going to be insane. I'm hoping to make it to the gym at least twice this week and then back to the regular four workouts next week (my half-term break...YEA!!!!) So stay tuned...
