moving expenses

Thursday night we also got all of our finances worked out to take Erica down to Virginia, thanks to a multitude of reasons. The relief was quite on the significant part as now we're able to get Erica moved in, and pay several months rent in advance. This will get her though the first month (which is good since she'll only get one paycheck) and also allow us to get a really good handle on bills. Quite the change from Thursday morning... but a welcome one.

One thing Erica and I had wanted to do before we moved was to get her and I some new clothes. Her for work, me, so they fit. We hit Ann Taylor in EL on the way home from Boyne. I was really nervous because a few months ago, I couldn't even fit into their largest size comfortably (16). Today I walked away with three new pairs of pants... two size 12 and one size 10!!! I'm honestly still not believing it. (I have a whole conspiracy theory about the stores increasing sizes to make women feel better...I think there is even research to support this)... but maybe (maybe) it's time to actually believe it when someone calls me "little". Now I just need to stay on this band wagon... and I think I can.
