Yes, it needs that many exclamation marks – because I am super excited. My next post will be about the nuances of why I need so many of them, but now I just want to celebrate this new life I am creating!

As you know – I have been taking care of my mom for most of my days since mid-October. I have had a comfy bed to sleep in, food to enjoy. Still, my life has been challenging, to say the least. I have been on a waiting list for an apartment for almost 6 months now. They said it could be 6 months to a year, especially for a bachelor suite (which suits my budget best). And the bachelor suite might even take longer. (I was fourth on the list for four bachelor apartments, just to put this into perspective.) I had figured that I’d probably have to hustle to pay for a one-bedroom, and just live tight.

So…the Creator of the Universe who loves me (and you) has a sense of humour. I had said that I would probably find out on May 1st (my birthday) when I was getting an apartment… BUT it is better than that! I am moving in on May 1st. And I have what I want. Isn’t that just hilarious? It sparkles in me from my head to my feed.

This is what I am moving into!

Thankfully, I don’t have a lot of furniture – just plastic bins, and suitcases full of yarn! But, I have no idea if these furniture outlines are accurate. Will my double bed fit? Will there really be room for night stands?

I’m looking forward to sharing more of the process of gathering what I need, and sharing pictures of that with you all! Nothing comes into my new home that does not spark great joy for me!

I appreciate you being on this journey with me!
