Moving

I am moving to Glendale! I am finally, actually, moving to "L.A."

I am stressed...but I am excited :) It's funny, I feel so at home there, I can't wait to spend the holidays there. and I want to do it right.

So, yes, I am moving in with Casey and Rachel. Joe moved out yesterday and Cindy, my roomie, found another roommate to take my room on November 24th. Every time I see Rachel now I have a wash of excitement! We talk kitchen tables, curtains and christmas trees and I see us talking over our cups of tea in passing in the morning...like we used to when I practically moved in with Casey and Rachel and Brian in Fullerton. It's funny, Rachel has talked for months about how much she missed me when I got my own place. And yes, I am excited and nervous about living with Casey. But this is the new life that I took baby steps towards, day by day and here I am. I am applying at the Paul Mitchell School for Cosmetology...finally. There is a school in Studio City and since my heart has fluttered at the thought for the past three years, I am finally giving it some serious consideration. It's expensive but repaying my school loans will be easier doing something I want to do (i.e. Hair) as opposed to admin work/waitressing...et al. AND I am going to be so close to auditions and The Edge dance studio!!

am I...home? at least for a while? a place to settle in and live? I feel like Casey and Rachel are my family and I will finally be resting. I hope :) I can have people over for dinner that I cook and grow basil on the windowsill and make my curtains that I have been planning forever and not transport my stuff between residences and come HOME AT NIGHT.

I tried exploring a little of the area the other night. There is a Trader Joes and a Starbucks in walking distance! and two 24 Hour Fitness centers, a Farmers Market every Thursday, and two fantastic theaters (one happens to be playing a Samuel Beckett classic as we speak). and I can meet people and places that will help me further my career.

I am nervous though. I get lonely really easily and I don't know my way around, and I still can't drive on the freeway and my job is down here! and my familiar places. but, that is why for the first time I am researching the area before I move.

So, anyone up for a housewarming dinner around the first of December??
