So this year, it's almost half way over, and it's been quite a doozy. And while I've got a lot of opinions about it, and a whole hell of a lot of emotions, I really don't want to talk about it. Plus, I doubt anyone wants to really get that intimate with my anxiety. So, onto something a little more joyful!
While this year has sucked for a whole slew of reasons, it's still a big one here in Apartment Land. Firstly, our roommate, and my best friend, bought her own condo and moved out, so now it's just me and my man Ryan. Which has been a nice adjustment, even though I miss Melissa terribly, the dynamic in the house has changed, and I'm enjoying the different pace that life has taken. New seasons of life, and all that. Then, in less than 2 weeks, Ryan and I are going to close on our own condo! This is incredible news, but it's crazy. Where I have been these past few years, I never thought I'd be in a place I could buy, especially with a partner. It's been a whirlwind, but we're both excited to settle into a place that is ours, together. Apartment Land, was my apartment with Melissa and then Ryan joined us, so it's been a bit crowded and a bit piece-mailed together to make it work. So to have a place that is both of ours is going to be an incredible change. Plus, poor Ryan has been moving every year, sometimes multiple times in the same year, since he moved to Massachusetts 3 years ago. So going to a place that we know we won't be leaving from in the next year or two is definitely a huge selling point for him.
So with all of this change, the moves, the painting, the change of towns, plus everything going on globally, I want to be able to have a place to talk about what we're doing, what we're cooking, and how we're making our place ours. I grew up thinking there was only one way to "do life" school, job, marriage, kids, home, etc. Reading the blogs that I have over the years, I realized there were so many different ways to make a life, and I want to be able to pay that gift forward, show someone else out on this vast internet another way that I spend my time, my life. So hopefully there will be much more writing, much more cooking, and a bit more paint scraps around this place.
Hope you stick around!
