Run Lola Run

I can agonize all I want about other career paths, but let’s face it—I’m going to be a nurse, b/c that is what I’ve always wanted to be. Well, at least for the last 4 years J But I’m going to nursing school, and I’m going to be a nurse practitioner in a little clinic on the north shore. And Abe is going to be a DJ at WTIP. And we will go camping and hiking a lot. Maybe one day, I’ll even get him to sea kayak on Lake Superior.

Doesn’t that sound like the life?

Speaking of Abe, he and I are getting ready to move in together soon. Eep! We’ll be moving into a new place together in June. I’m so excited for this, for many reasons, but I also have lost sight of the fact that this is a huge step. I swore that I would never live with a significant other before marriage again, and so did he. But here we are—it just feels right. We’ve been together for over two years now. Sometimes it feels like we just met yesterday, other times it feels like we’ve been together for 200 years (in a good way). But more so than the length of time that we’ve been together, it feels like a good time to take this next step. I’m sure that we’ll have difficulties (I anticipate chores being an issue, as he likes his bathroom very clean, and I rarely notice), but I also know that we’ll be able to work through them together

These are some of the places we are considering:

Kenwood Gables:

Stone Arch Apartments:

One Ten Grant:

We both have lived in brownstones for so long…we’re looking forward to living somewhere newer, with modern amenities. I’m a little freaked out about looking at “luxury apartments” but technically, they are all within our price range. It’s between Stone Arch and Kenwood Gables for my number one, and I think Abe is leaning more towards One Ten Grant, so that we can stay downtown proper. I’ll be happy with anything. I’m just really looking forward to moving in together!
