Well, after 2 1/2 months of searching we have finally found a new place to live.  Searching and moving is definitely a very stressful time which I have never been aware of until recently. You see, I have only ever moved 3 times so far in my life.  My family weren't really into moving every 5 years.  I knew people who moved every 2 years.  Oh the agony of that.  So last year, I took the plunge and moved out with my boyfriend and left my mom as an empty-nester.  Since I really didn't have a lot of furniture when I left my mother, it was an easy move.  I had my bedroom stuff.  That was it.  Now, there is bedroom stuff, kitchen stuff, living room stuff, second bedroom stuff and his stuff.

So the finding a place part.  I started early to make sure I found just the right place.  So of course I enlisted the help of a real estate agent. She was great.  Taking me to several different places, putting in offers and not getting the place because the other couple would put in more money and we weren't willing to spend that much. Then we found this really great place in Yorkville. But unfortunately, they owners backed out so again, it was time to keep hunting. Time is quickly ticking away.  But fortunately, at the last minute, we found a place.  It is in a nice building, and only one subway stop away from the office.  Yay for us!

Now all I need it for someone to pack, move and unpack us.  Oh, wait, I have a boyfriend. :)
