I am so excited that I have lived in this apartment for (almost) one year!! It is such a beautiful place, with leaded glass at the top of the three front windows and a stained glass window at the top of the kitchen window. I remember when my sister-in-law told me that we were going to look at this apartment. We were walking through with the landlord and I was thinking, "There is no way that she is going to let me rent this apartment. Please, please let me rent this gorgeous apartment!" When she told me that I could move in on Monday, I was so happy. I really needed some happy right then.
Afterwards, having dinner at the Greek Food Festival, my brother told me that I looked dazed. That's how I felt: dazed and disconnected from my life. I wanted time to go by fast, so that I wouldn't have to feel sad and heartbroken. This apartment helped me feel better. I feel so lucky to live here. I also feel extremely lucky to have my family. My family showed up to pack up all of my stuff and move it out of my ex-boyfriend's house in one day. They kept everything in their cars, houses, and a neighbor's garage over the weekend. They showed up again to move everything into my new apartment the following Monday.
To celebrate my one-year anniversary of living here, I am having a party. With cupcakes from Sweet Memories, a place that also played a part in getting me through the past year. :)
