Movin' Out
I had a hard time deciding what to title this post. Billy Joel wrote and sang about my physical situation (see post title above) and Leonard Cohen wrote and sang about my emotional state (in his hit song 'Hallelujah'). That's right, I moved out of my parent's house into a new place about 5 miles away. It's a 2 br apartment and my roommate is moving in this weekend. He's a recent BYU grad who's looking for a place to live in the area so he doesn't have to live with his parents. It's so nice just to be able to have my own place and space. I always felt somewhat cloistered and like someone was also looking over my shoulder (even if they weren't). I feel like shouting "Hallelujah." My parents should be okay for a little while as my brother's family are back in the basement until they can move into the home they just bought in 2 or 3 weeks; after that I expect a complete meltdown.

It's going to be so funny when your parents read this and change the locks on you.
Empty nest syndrome- should be interesting how the parents finally handle it. You may be able to get some food out of it.
Oh, yeah, I remember when I was the one looking over your shoulder. You did not have a bit 'o privacy when I lived there. It was hard on me when you moved away, but I moved on, and cried myself asleep until . . . well, I guess I still do. Congrat's buddy.
Tyler Pulsipher, how long has it been? I lost your phone number.....again....I'm sorry. Call me so we can catch up. Bob Cottrell
Hahaha! My parents would do the same thing as yours! And don't worry about Hacksaw, he always cries himself to sleep. ;)
