the move

so as some of you might know, i've recently moved out of the city. i'm not city girl any more. but i will get to say that i lived in chicago and that was cool. i'm back in the burbs and rocking it as always. my room is a mess but i'm slowly putting everything where i want it. i will miss living with my old roommate ashley, but it was time to move on.

i'm excited about my new place for a couple of reasons:

1. i have a bigger room, so that is always nice. 
2. i now have a desk, which before i was using a tv tray as my desk. i posted the pictures of my new desk (the one with all the comic book characters). so i'm also excited about my desk just looking totally awesome! hehe.
3. i have a small cabinet dedicated to all of my crafting stuff/hobbies. for i have multiple crafts/ hobbies: i cross stitch, scrapbook, make random things, write, do photography. so i have all of those supplies in this cabinet. i'm very excited about that for before i just had everything scattered in different boxes and bags.
4. i have to say i'm happy that i can now have glutton in my apartment. my last roommate was a celiac and that means she is allergic to wheat/barley/rye (all have glutton). so when i moved in with her i agreed that there would be no glutton in the apartment. and i was fine with that. but i have to say i'm glad that i don't have to worry about that any more. i don't know how people deal with that allergy all their lives. power to those people. so i went grocery shopping for the first time for the new place today and i was excited to be able to buy 'normal' food; ie: bread, ceral, pop tarts. 
5. there's a ledge that runs all the way around my room and i've been able to put most of my nick-nacks and picture frames on it. so that's been nice. before i just put all of those things on my book shelves. 
6. there's a living room. my last place we didn't have a living room. how we set up the apartment was that ashley's room was the living room and then i had the actual bedroom as my bedroom. we used the kitchen/dinning area as the living room. so in my new place there is a living room and i'm very excited about it. i got a couch from my cousin to put in there and i'm excited to just sit in there and read my books.

so those are just a few reason's i'm happy about the move i have made. don't get me wrong, i loved living with ashley and living in the city. but i work in the burbs and most of my friends/family are in the burbs. so it is all around better in the end. i will definitely miss living with ashley and all the fun we had together. she is a great friend. we lived together for 2 years. so it is the end of an era. but it is now the beginning of a new one.
