So, my good friend and future roommate Zul pretty much covered all the basics with her first post. We did meet on Blogtv and eventually became friends. We started talking more and more and she brought up the idea of being roommates. I said okay, but didn't get my hopes up or anything.

We didn't really talk about it for awhile, but then one day she said we should pick a place. She mentioned several places, but the one that I had in my head was New York. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned about where in New York we should settle in and a friend of ours mentioned places that were okay for us to live. Zul looked up to see what the rent was going to be like, so we could figure out what we needed to be making salary/wage wise to live there. As luck would have it, the first place she clicked on we feel in love with and the location was perfect for us, so we got excited and started figuring out when we could move there. We knew not right away, but with in the next two years we believe we could do it.

The biggest reason for not moving sooner is education. She is currently working towards an associates and I am trying to get back in school to work towards my bachelors. I will be doing online courses so it won't be a problem when we move. We are going to wait until she is done with her associates to move, so she won't have to transfer again and will have a degree to help with getting a job there. Plus, we both want to have jobs and save a lot before we move. After the new year I want to find a job in Madison (the capitol of Wisconsin) at a hotel or something. We figured hotels were perfect because they transfer. I do need a job for the next couple of months though, so I put in for a job at Swiss Colony here in Wisconsin where I currently live. It is only a seasonal job, but it is exactly what I need.

I want to go to visit Zul in January. She will be in Connecticut, so we will hang there, but we also want to visit New York and visit a mutual friend we have. Hopefully we can get a glimpse of where we want to live. I just hope everything works out. I am sure we will get along great. It's just better safe than sorry to stay with someone for a week that you are going to be roommates with. If you can live together for a week with no problem then you definitely have a better chance of making it as roommates. But as I said, I am sure there won't be a problem with that. We already get along great and have enough in common where we can have fun but aren't so alike where we would get on each others nerves. I can't wait to visit her!
