Life is happening and i’m excited about it :) You may or may not know that i’ve been living with my sister and brother-in-law since i moved to Austin and it’s been wonderful!

The time has come for me to move out of my sister’s house, and get my own apartment! TOTALLY exciting and kinda scary too :) I’m a big girl now!  

I’ve been looking forward to living by myself for a while now! But it’s kinda scary too :) Good and bad scary! I’ll be on my own, i’ll be responsible for me, and holding myself accountable when it comes to exercise, eating healthy, and being aware of my emotions and emotional eating; and do the best that i can do to control myself when i feel tempted to emotionally eat!

On Friday night i tweeted:

What are some things you look for when apartment hunting?! And GO!

@ I also check out the cars in the parking lot & drive thru the complex several times at different times to see what goes on

Great comments people!

Here’s my list:

  • That i feel safe when i go to the complex– in the office, going for a tour, driving around
  • That i feel safe in the area of town where the the complex / apartment is
  • The rent needing to be in my budget is a BIG ONE!
  • I would LOVE a ceiling fan, since it’s SO hot :)
  • The apartment being somewhat close to work!
  • I’ve always like the bathroom NOT being in the bedroom! I feel weird sometimes, going to people’s apartments and having to go in their bedroom to go to the bathroom! not so fun sometimes. But then maybe it’ll encourage me to clean more :)
Well that’s pretty much my list :)
I’m excited that everything’s already packed up besides the few things that are at my sister’s house! YAY for storage units! 
What things do you look for when apartment / house hunting?
