Last Nights as a Renter!!

It's been over a year since we moved into our current house and to be honest I have hated it 90% of the time. We previously lived in an apartment together which we loved. It was a very cute apartment but unfortunately, there were some things that were wrong with it. The rent would increase each year and some of the other renters were abusing the building. One guy would actually pee in the elevator. For no reason just would whip it out and pee. So gross! Who does that?

After all this started happening at the apartment and we got engaged we decided to move in with Janine into her house that had a fixed rent and ensuite laundry room. Also it was a good way to save money for the wedding. What we discovered was how much we hate HOUSES. We are definitely Condo people. I hate that people can see into our windows. In the apartment I had no problems changing with my blinds open, because no one around me could see into our bedroom. Can't do that in a house cause all the houses look into each others backyards. In this house there is a creepy man from next door who sits across the street and stares into our living room window. And I hate shoveling snow. Thankfully this year I think we shoveled the driveway twice which was awesome, but in the new place its underground parking. Whoo Hoo!!

F**k you snow.

Oh how I hate packing. It's not a fun process. Deciding what stays and what goes. Making sure everything that is breakable is packed tight in bubble wrap. I don't know how people do this so often. I find it draining and I hate how absolutely messy everything gets when you're  packing up. We have boxes everywhere, and when you move furniture you discover you can make another cat with all the fur you find.

I have big plans for the new place, and I can't wait to get started on it all. It's going to be so nice to be able to change and decorate anything we want and not have to go through a landlord. I mean we can't tear down any walls or anything but then again neither Richard nor I are handy enough to do any of that crap.

Tonight we go to the lawyers to sign away our lives on all the paperwork and tomorrow we get the keys. :)

I'm very curious to see what the place looks like. I wonder if the previous owners left anything or cleaned anything? I mean I don't even know what we will be walking into tomorrow. It could be extremely shinning or we could have a butt load of furniture that they left. :S

Richard and I want to try and get the bed set up by Saturday night so that we can bring Smudge over to the new place. We figure if the bed is set up she will hide under it until things settle, and then she'll relax a bit, and explore. She's in pre-heat right now so we are hoping that the move scares it out of her. LOL.

Hopefully I can post again on the weekend with pictures of the new place with all our crap in it, until then hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Over and Out.
