Moving

I've just spent two weeks in Hawaii with my family, and while it was great and very relaxing and beautiful, all I could think about was my upcoming move. Daily I'd go online and read Yelp reviews of different businesses in my neighborhood, check IKEA.com for decorating ideas, and figure out what my monthly budget was going to be like.

And now the time is finally here! I am moving in to my place starting tomorrow. My mom and I are driving over there with a load of stuff, and then we're going to measure the room before heading over to IKEA. My room doesn't have a closet so I'll need to get one of those wardrobes. I also want a bedside table and a cabinet thing from there. Here's what I have in mind:





Then I'll continue moving my stuff in over the weekend, when my Dad and boyfriend can help with the heavy lifting. The apartment is a 4 story walk-up and then my room is up a spiral staircase once you get into the apartment! Obviously my mom and I are not going to be able to bring an iron bed up all those damn stairs. Hell, I'd better love this place and stay awhile because moving out is going to be a pain in the ass.
