Goodbye, Apartment 44.

Until I moved into my current apartment, I had been moving every 9 months for the past 4 years.  As many college students are aware, graduating from high school and going to school is often more about living out of the same 5 u-haul boxes as you move from dorm to dorm/ apartment to college apartment... oh yes, and back home or to an internship every summer.  During my last year of college, I forewent the boxes, but packed up two (maybe three) suitcases and moved to London for the year.  After that year I moved to Cleveland, and then the next year to my current apartment in Cleveland.  I'm exhausted just retyping it.  All that to say, is that for the past TWO! years, I've lived in Apartment 44.  It's been the longest time I've lived in one place since pre-college.  It's an adorable little studio with a closet even Carrie Bradshaw would love.   I'm definitely going to miss this little nest and am definitely a little nervy as I pack, because I have NO idea where I will be unpacking these boxes next year (or the year after)...
In honor of Apt. 44's memory, I'll post these pictures of happier times, when she wasn't consumed with boxes, and when the rugs were on the floor and all the pictures were hung.



You may be asking yourself how the desk that was in the previous picture got over here: I may or may not be a bit of a "nester" extraordinaire.  I have to constantly keep changing things around: the above picture is the most recent incarnation of the Apartment Layout.
Totes miss you already, 44.
