yay...i can finally answer some questions since i've been here for 5 months now. lol.
ok...so we bought a house, pm me if you want to zillow.com it. it's a 5 bed/2 bath 2016 sq ft, RIGHT off college and drake (i walked from the VTH to my house one time and it took 15 minutes...but i could've walked faster. and i had to wait for the walk signal), the lot is a little over 7500 sq ft, and it cost...$195,000!!! we were super excited cuz we're from california.
so the mortgage is $1400 including insurance. our utilities are expensive though, we dont conserve at all. trash for a 65 gall. is $26/month and internet for a year is $10/mo (for the slowest with Qwest...but will get to $30/month after the year promotion ends). water seems to be more expensive here. and there's NO toilet seat covers in some areas (like on campus and restaurants).
anyway, so my sister and i are super close so she said "wherever you go, we go" and our mom lives with us. so the whole family came: mom, sis, 3 dogs, parakeet, and turtle.
and the winter so far....sucks. lol. i'm not used to it. there have been a few days where driving was SCARY. i'll drive 5mph and i'll still skid a bit where they dont plow (like in residential areas) i also got stuck in the snow for 2 minutes and FREAKED (again in residential area) then i reversed and got out of it. lol
OH, and DEFINITELY get a garage. some people can go w/o one...but i look at my friend that lives in an apt and when it snows, she gets up 20 min early so she can start her car to warm it up and take all the snow off it.
and some houses dont come with a/c....which it got pretty hot during the summer.
and i bought a brand new bike at a garage sale $40, it's super cute. but i haven't ridden it anywhere. a couple of classmates said that they want to go bike riding when the snow stops and just go through the trails around here.
EVERYONE here likes the outdoors. thats why a lot like fort collins. i thought i'd like the outdoors...but there's bugs.
my sister and i are trying to get more active though, so we're going to take ice skating lessons starting next week and over summer we want to take kayaking lessons.
minnerbelle...there's a classmate that's 22 or something. so you aren't the only young one!
.
i gotta get going. let's try lucilles!! i've been wanting to try it, we went on new years but there was a 45 min wait. it looks super cute on the inside too.
