Movin Out

Trying to play catch-up! Lots of things to update, the first one being that I'll be moving very shortly - hopefully this weekend!

I decided a couple months ago that I needed to move out of my glorious abode on Halama street. Several reasons:

1) I don't really feel at home in that home. Kat acts as a landlord of sorts (she is the only one on the lease), and so she has established the place as her home. She frequently talks about how she wants the place to be comfortable and homey, and a great place for people to hang out, but then she won't allow even the smallest of personal touches in the living areas. This includes computers, TV's pictures...pretty much anything. So all of those things are packed into our respective rooms. Since there is a cat in the house, I have to have my door shut to keep her out......so......I basically come home, shut my door, and hang out in a 10 x 12 box all night. For some people that may sound like paradise, but not for me. I don't want to live in a sterile environment anymore - I want a home filled with color, activity, and openness.

2) There are also a lot (and i mean, a lot) of bugs, rodents, and other animals all over the house because she won't let us spray (too toxic for her). They really gross me out.

3) There are a LOT of homes on the market right now, and a lot of them are offering some seriously sweet move-in deals and discounts.

I love the location of the home so much, and I spend a lot of time in the AMAZING backyard, and I will definitely miss that dearly. But I have to keep reminding myself that I am only seconds from beautiful beaches no matter where I end up living. I just hope that 1724 Halama hasn't totally spoiled me.

Anyhoo...it turned out that Ryan Robinson (of the Ryan Robinson Band, whom I sing with occasionally), was looking for a place at the same time, and we started to check out housing together. We found a great 3 bedroom/2 bath house in south Kihei off Keonekai (which is by Kamaole III), and we are hopefully signing the lease tonight!! It has taken a little longer than I had hoped to get this far with the landlord, but I'm crossing my fingers that we're on the home stretch, and that we can start moving stuff in this weekend. If everything goes through, then I will take some pictures and share with you all soon.

In the meantime I started packing over the weekend - I don't have that much stuff, which is great for moving. However this place is totally unfurnished, so I'm gonna have to spend a little dough to get it all set up.

I'm totally thrilled to be moving with Ryan though - our house will be filled with music, and I am so completely jazzed about that!!!!!!!!!

More on this subject later.....
