My New Home < 3

A 500 square ft. studio apartment is my new home!  Yep - I took that step to get my first place all on my own.  I moved in almost a week ago (taking me 1 day to fully unpack), and I love it more than I ever thought I would.

With the help of my older sister, Nicoleon, I was able to decorate it so nicely!  She also gave me the brilliant idea to remove the doors from my huge closet so I could put a bed in and BOOM: I've got a bedroom.  As you enter the studio, I have a pretty nicely sized living area where there is a very clear dining section just next to the kitchen - which is also perfectly sized!  I have a fire place, which is way fancy.  Puppy loves it too; He is also becoming a bit of a guard dog.  Not vicious by any sense of the word, but when people even pass the door, he runs up to it - occasionally barking too.  I thought this would be something I hate, but it really gives me an even greater sense of safety.

My boyfriend is actually pretty close by too.  In fact, he lives just two buildings down!  Talk about saving gas money!  Haha.  I am also much closer to work - cutting my commute down by 10-15 minutes.

Overall, I really love my new home.  It's clean all the time - and I am able to meal prep without my tupperware going missing.  I also only purchased meal plan appropriate items, to guarantee I have no other options.  I am doing super well with this whole fitness thing these days.

Other fun things - Cobie turned 1 on April 25th.  He was freshly groomed and enjoyed a piece of puppy birthday "cake" to celebrate!  Every day I love this pup even more.  He is a super genius and just amazes me with how quickly he picks things up.  His latest trick being "roll over."

Last update has to do with running!  I got super into running a few years ago - and I'm back at it again!  Brian and I have started the Couch to 5k running program.  We are in week 2 and nailing it!  Today, I am going to begin tracking our distance.  I am so excited to see the progress we make - and to get back up to running 7+ miles!

Lots of fun new things to look forward to in life.  :]

In other news: May 29th is National Put Your Pillow On Your Refrigerator Day!  I trust you will all be celebrating accordingly on this day.
