My new and first non-mission/college apartment

So this is my new apartment. Would you like a tour? We (Amanda, BF from college, and Ruth, BF from high school) haven't moved in yet. December 31/January 1 is our move in date. But, we are way excited look how cute is.  The above picture is a view of our kitchen from the living room. The back door leads to a deck on the third floor that over looks part of the city. It's pretty. We're planning on having a BBQ sometime in the next few months (preferably when the blasted cold stops). You're totally invited. 

This is our living room. I love how many windows there are. And the wood floor.  

This is the master bedroom with a beautiful, large closet. The room is pretty big, but I could only get a partial picture of it. (That's how huge it is). Amanda and I will be sharing. Ruth has her own room which is slightly smaller.  

And this is the bathroom. It's one of the larger ones I've seen in the city. 

We found the place on Craig's List, which can be sketchy. But, we fell in love with it. (It has a washer and dryer and dishwasher.) And it was a good deal. The people we're renting from are the least sketchiest landlords I've met during my last month and a half of Chicago apartment hunting. They are just a nice little family that live in the suburbs and bought the place when they were young and first married. 

We live 20 minutes from the heart of downtown, and two train stops from O'Hare. So, if you ever have a layover in Chicago, call me, we'll do lunch.

Love it. It looks and sounds really nice! I am SO jealous but happy for you that you'll be living with Amanda! She mentioned going to chicago, but it didn't sound like everything was nailed down at the time. Does she have a job there yet or will she start looking once she moves in?

That looks like a great place! If I ever go home again (I would love to, plane tickets are so expensive!) I will definitely let you know, we haven't gotten together in forever!

Wow, quite the sweet place! I'll admit I am a bit jealous of you right now.
