Currently, I am still looking for a place to live come May. I think I may have found the house, but the landlord lives in Maryland which makes coordinating kind of hard. Because of this, I may have to keep looking. Is it too much to ask for a reasonably priced rental house with two bedrooms, a fenced in backyard, and a washer and dryer? I guess so. I am hoping to move mid-May so that Sterling can help before he leaves haha!
On that note, I've come to terms with my husband leaving. I'm (for the moment) at peace with the fact that we won't be living together for the next six or so years. After getting together with some of our other married couple friends (who shall remain nameless) that are having some issues with their first year of marriage, we've realized that we have been building a really good foundation for our long-distance marriage that is coming up quite quickly. I'm not saying that I won't be sad/upset when he leaves or that I won't miss him terribly, but it's okay that he's going. Actually, it's almost a good thing (almost... but not really). You see, I finally met with the DO/PhD coordinator and planned out my next six years of school. Starting at the end of June I will officially have no life. Classes, research, and studying will consume me. While I would love to have Sterling around (because I think he's wonderful), I know that I would be distracted a lot. Mainly because we have so much fun together and I'd rather hang out with him than study. So for that reason, it's ALMOST a good thing he's leaving. Almost. Not really though.
Did I say we've been training for a half marathon? Well rather... we are starting to train haha! Basically I have to increase a mile a week to get up to 13 miles by race time. I'm hoping to have a rocking bod by the end of May for all the weddings I am in and this will definitely help. The warm weather also helps. Running on a treadmill stinks!
Okay, I need to get back to work/studying. As always.
