Hey everyone! This is my first blog post since moving to my very own apartment. I’ve been here for almost two weeks now and I love it! Finally got some furniture last weekend so it really feels complete now. I feel settled for the first time in a long time. I love how my place stays clean and everything stays where I leave it. It’s very relaxing. I keep making lists of things I want to buy to make the apartment even better but I have already spent a LOT on “stuff” so I really need to resist for a while.
The move in went pretty well considering it was just me and my boyfriend moving stuff. I summoned my inner strength so I could be as much help as possible, not that I’m really that weak. But we did have to carry a box spring up the stairs because it wouldn’t fit in the elevator which was difficult. I kept dropping it because it was too heavy. 🙁 I had a lot of furniture to build thanks to Ikea so my fingers were pretty sore for the first little while from screwing things together. But it was definitely worth it.
And I can now walk to and from work which is awesome. I just wish it would stop raining. It has been raining off and on for a week and I see no end in sight. Thankfully it’s only rained one day where I was heading to work so I was able to walk to work everyday so far besides that one (I don’t walk in the rain or the cold. I take the bus on those days). I really look forward to being to sit out on my deck in the sunshine. I’ve only done that once so far.
Anyway, now that I’m settling in I am going to try and start blogging again. I feel really bad for neglecting my blog but it’s so hard for me to post when my life is not settled. I will leave you now with a few pictures of my new place.

June 13, 2013 at 8:43 amWhat a gorgeous apartment! You have an amazing view and it looks like there’s a lot of space and light.
My place is a total mess haha…looking at your pictures is reminding me that I need to clean so it looks nicer! lol

June 13, 2013 at 8:46 amYeah I love my view. There is a ton of space and light which is what I love about this place. Most of the apartments in this area are tiny and cost a fortune. This place is perfect in size and price. I like to keep everything in it’s place. But don’t look in my closets right now. I’m still working on them haha.
