Things are starting to look empty. When I talk on the phone in our apartment, my voice echoes. Just the other day, as I was making spaghetti, I realized that I didn't have any parmesan cheese, because it had already been moved to the new house! We are getting there.
But, this post really isn't going to be one of those where I reminisce about all of the good times I have had in this place. No, I'm not really sad to be leaving. Yes, I will miss this place for the memories and for its amazing architecture. But that is all. Instead I feel more like saying 'good riddance!'
Apartment life isn't for me. Sure, I lived in a dorm in college (all four years) and we have been here for almost two, but I have decided that I really don't like living in a shared space. Those people who live in apartments their entire lives, will forever amaze me, to some degree. I don't know how they do it! Let's just say that I feel like I have paid my dues and I am ready to move on to the next step.
Thankfully, my father was our landlord, so really I had nothing to complain about. I was allowed to pick paint colors, decorate, and even pick out the flooring in our place. Thanks daddy!!! Our apartment is beautiful and I have to say that I will miss the three fireplaces, the nine foot ceilings, and the beautiful ten inch moldings. I will definitely miss having two bathrooms and a gorgeous pantry area, but, I can't help the fact that I can't wait to move on to the next chapter: home ownership and a whole- heck-of-a-lot of responsibility.
I'm probably being a bit naive, but there is something extremely exciting about setting up our first house. In the next two days, as we officially move into our house, I will daydream about how I want to decorate our home. Heck, who am I kidding? I have already thought a lot about it. Let's just say, I'm pretty anxious.
So, as we progress into the weekend, picture me a bundle of anxious nerves attempting to patiently wait for everything to be moved from one place to the next. Also, please have some patience for me. We will be getting internet Monday, so I will, hopefully, be able to start posting again. That way I can give y'all some real time progress pictures and such.
Today, its off to the house with another load of stuff. Then, I need to paint the living room (it still is looking pretty white) and after that a ridiculous amount of cleaning needs to be done. But Saturday is almost here!!!
Here we go!
