You might think it weird that I actually miss living in an apartment.  Most people in apartments would much rather have a house.  And I did too when I lived in one.  But now that we moved to a house and it’s much bigger than any of our apartments, I miss the coziness of the apartment.  The house is so much bigger and there’s so many more doors, windows and entry ways that I always worry about someone breaking into.  In our apartment we had one window and that was in our room and 2 doors, one of which only lead out to the balcony(which I miss as well) so I never really worried about that door.  Plus, the small quarters made it so that if anyone ever did try to come in you would hear it no matter where you were in the apartment. The apartment was on the 2nd level so that also made me feel safer.  It was kinda like a little castle fortess hehe. I always hear noises at night and wonder what they are and then I can’t sleep because I feel like I have to make sure no one breaks in. Seems silly, I know but I can’t help it.  So I miss the coziness and sense of security of apartment living.  I also miss the closeness of neighbors.  Sometimes I didn’t like it cuz you could almost always hear them.  But I do miss it sometimes and I miss the neighbor friends and going over and chilling with them.  We haven’t really met any of our neighbors at the house. At least most of the people in the apartments were around the same age as us.  The neighbors here are all old which isn’t fun. So no one ever really comes over to hang out and there’s no one close to just go chill with anymore.  Another thing I miss about the apartment is that when something breaks, we didn’t have to fix it.  Here, we’ve already had to tear a hole in the basement wall and have a plumber come out to fix the plumbing that was backing up.  We still have to replace part of the pipe which isn’t going to be cheap.  We didn’t have a yard that had to be tended to either.  That takes up a lot of time that Chad and I can’t spend together.  Even though the appliances all pretty much sucked and used a ton of energy because they were so old, I still miss my apartment.
