So – I returned to my hometown and moved into a new place with a former roommate. For the past month I’d been living with her and her sister in a tiny little hide-away with one bathroom, no dishwasher and no central heating and air. It wasn’t quite a nightmare – but it was challenging enough. I knew that she wanted to move – so I really didn’t try to make our tiny little house into a home.

Just two weeks ago we found a new place not far from our old place – and it is a dream come true. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a patio and tons of sunlight. It’s just the place that I had been dreaming of while I lived in another tiny little hide-away in the middle of New York City. So we filled out an application, got approved and now we are getting all settled in.

Sigh....

My new place is so spacious and beautiful – I’m just so grateful that I live here now!
