I made coffee!!

I made coffee this morning, and last night, mom and i made brownies and cookies and some chicken and sloppy joes. For those of you who haven't been following the (very) posts that i actually post on this thing, you may realize the significance of such small actions...that being...
We have our own place now!
Finally! Joe and I have moved out of his grandmothers basement and into our own apt. Its fairly big, about 680 sq feet, which is about half of my parents house ( odd to think about). All of our stuff is in the apt but most is still in boxes (hey, we got here less than 24 hours ago) and I have been enjoying my kitchen. Its funny how such a small thing such as making coffee in the morning or making tea or doing my dishes has taken on such a refreshing meaning. I never thought I would feel so free just being able to make coffee, or heat water.
Our living room setup (designed by Joe) is pretty sweet so far. We have the tv in one corner of the room with the futon couch and loveseat forming a little cozy tv watching area. Then behind the love-seat is my desk, and Joe's desk is in the corner adjacent to my desk. Then in the 3rd corner of the living room we have the dining room table and my sewing stuff (sewing figure, table, machine, etc). All of this and you think it would be pretty cramped in here, but there is still so much space its amazing.
Then theres the balcony, Demon and I are so happy and in love with our new balcony. Its 15' long by about 6' wide, so theres plenty of space for plants as well as Joe's new 7' tall easel (for painting). The fresh air is amazing and I can't believe how much light comes in the apt (especially after living in a dark musty basement for 10 months). Over the next week we have a lot to do with unpacking, finding more carpets, a bigger tv stand, and everything else involved with moving into a new place.
So cheers to change, new places, and reconnecting with friends who can come over and hang out!
