Moving day is approaching

It's finally happening: I'm moving into a two-bedroom apartment.

Um, this weekend actually. (I'd better start packing.)

New apartment, new neighborhood, new possibilities -- it's all very exciting! Here's a video Dave took when we fell in love with it:

Our apartment person says there's only 1 bathroom, but there are in fact 2.

For as much as I complain about it, the place I live right now isn't really that terrible. It's a River North highrise, so take that how you will.


Things I'll miss about my current apartment

• The gorgeous view off our 51st floor balcony
• The large bathroom
  
• The large bedroom
• Picking up my packages at the cleaners in the building
• Sitting at the kitchen island while Dave cooks
• The convenience of being in River North
• Being able to take one of two express buses right up to my brother's
• The pool

Things I will NOT miss about my current apartment

• The River North tourists
• The River North attitude problem
  
• Wandering onto the Red Line only to end up in the thick of drunken Cubs fans
• Waiting for 10 minutes just to get an elevator that goes to my floor
• A super-tiny living room
• Tons and tons of spiders/bugs on the windows
• The hotel rooms across the hall, complete with loud visitors
• The douchebags at the pool
• The lure of Whole Foods

Things I'm looking forward to about my new place:

• TWO BEDROOMS
• A neighborhood with trees (and Suz)
• Easy access to Mana (and J)
  
• Room for a dining room table and therefore dinner parties
• A built-in wine rack in the kitchen
• An entire laundry room
• A fireplace
• Pizza delivery from Piece
  

Move-in date is Sunday. Let's hope this apartment ends Dave's 10-year moving streak.
