The next chapter has begun! I'm finally in!

Please excuse the silence on the blogging front, but as you can see from the title of this entry, my flatmate and I have finally moved into my dream apartment.

We moved on Saturday. The moving truck came a couple of days earlier and took a few boxes of stuff, as well as furniture. And then, on Saturday, it was our turn. After a couple of car trips that were just taking more stuff to the apartment, he took my flatmate, and then came back for me. Apparently she was delighted and ecstatic, and I'm so happy that she was, because she hadn't seen the apartment until now, whereas I had seen it twice.

So today is Wednesday, and I've spent 4 nights here. It's absolutely amazing, and everything I have wanted in an apartment. It already feels like home, even more than the house that I grew up in, dare I say.

My bedroom is a lot bigger than I expected it to be. It's spacious, roomy, bright and fresh, and I have a big bathroom connected to it. When the door between my bedroom and the bathroom is open, the area looks huge. My flatmate has her own bathroom too, which is nice after 4 months of sharing a bathroom when she was living with me and my parents. The kitchen is big enough for 2 people to move around in without being too cramped, and I have a sink and a stove which are at my height, and are a bit bigger than the sink and stove I had in the kitchen at home. The dishwasher is a drawer dishwasher, which is extremely handy for me, as being in a wheelchair, it is difficult to bend down and reach the bottom of a standard dishwasher to put a plate in.

I'm absolutely in love with the place. It really feels like home. 'm happy and comfortable being there when I'm alone on a day off when my flatmate is at work, and I'm equally happy when she around, because we do things together, and we also have our own space. It is paradise. An absolute dream come true, and definitely worth the wait. I love listening to the gentle hum of the traffic on the Western Distributor as I'm going to sleep at night, and I love sitting in the sun on my balcony, a cup of coffee made with my new coffee machine and a book in my hand in the morning. Pure bliss!!
