Drumroll please........IM MOVING!

So I have been sort of dreading this post for a few reasons. But at the same time, I have been excited about it also. So here goes! I am moving! Yay! Ive got a beautiful one bedroom apartment that I am moving into this weekend. As you all know right now I am living with the boyfriend and my pup. With the end of our lease, we have decided to get our own places. We are not ending things, just getting our own space. I dont think that moving in together was necessarily our problem, I honestly think it was our lack of space. We live in 650 sq ft with only one wall separating our living space from our sleeping space. This means we do everything together. There is no door to close if I need to work and he wants to watch a movie. Even the best couples need some alone time and this set up has made it very hard for either of us to have any independence. Something that is very important to me. While it is definitely a sad time, we are both very happy with our decision and looking forward to the benefits it will bring. We know that a lot of people will not understand or agree with our decision, but we dont really care. As long as we are doing what is good for us, then I really dont think it matters what any one else thinks.

So, while I am sad that I will not be walking into the apartment and seeing the boyfriends face everyday, I am also through the roof excited about my new place. After flipping out and not thinking I would find anything decent in my price range that would be a good place for me and for Dex, I was so lucky to find this place. It is a basement apartment with lots of light, way bigger than our place now, has a yard and dog run for Dexter, and so many other pluses I cannot even begin to tell you how lucky I feel. I will be posting pictures of the new place and more details about it soon, but there it is. The big news.

This will also be the first time I have ever lived alone! Something that I have thought every one should do at one point in their lives. Especially women. I think there is something to learn from being and living with yourself. I cannot wait to see what comes of all of these big changes. I am in a major transition zone and I know that there is a lot of room for growth and opportunity here. I am planning on taking full advantage of it!
