i have an apartment!

I feel like such an adult.. haha i have my own place! that's so weird!

so i'm living in a condo (we're renting it out) and it's two bedroom two bath. It's called the Madrid, and the condos are set up in a european/spanish style, and it's super cute! with flowers and gates everywhere! it even has an "acueduct". Our place is on the third floor and it's pretty nice! the kitchen was newly remodeled, and we have a balcony with HUGE windows into our spacious livingroom. i have to put up pictures

My room is cute too, a little small, but i don't have much stuff (especially right now) so it'll be fine! Right now i'm furnished with a blow up air matress, a bookcase (that i put together ALL by myself.. i was proud) lol a few container things, and a lamp. when dad and paul come next week i should have a bit more stuff, and i'm hoping to buy some furniture tomorrow for cheap so we'll see!
my bathroom is cute as well... it's monkey themed.... i don't have ot grow up all at one time! haha

i think one of the favorite parts about our condo is the location. we are in a little neighborhood with cute little houses and near a REALLY nice neighborhood with huge houses. i am a TWO minute walk to the public library, which i LOVEEEEEEE. same distance to food places (chipotle, pizza, cvs, coffee) and then a 4 minute walk to KC PLaza, which is a new ritzy shopping/restaurant district in kansas city. It's really nice and there's always people around walking/shopping hanging out. in addition, i've got a few friends who live on hte plaza so they're within walking distance!
also within walking distance is a whole foods, which is super exciting! (my family and our health food) haha
i'm also walking/runnning distance to the school where we are taking graduate classes.

so all in all i'm super excited! the weather here has been beautiful! today the high was 78, and i've had my window open all day, there's been a nice breeze.

the only thing i can complain about is that i'm many miles from many loved ones, and my apartment is super dirty cause no one has lived in it for over a year and a half (so says my super friendly neighbor sandy who brought me over enchildas today, just because) haha so i've been trying to wash windows, scrub floors, etc. hopefully when my family comes next week :) they can come help me? hahaha have to put them to work while i'm out working!!!! but no i'm excited to see them and wish that everyone could come visit! and if you're in the midwest u have a place to stay!!!
