Here I am sitting in our new little apartment on the left coast. 425 feet of warm cozy home! We have a view of the Cascades and on clear days of Mt. Rainer. My dream come true, I can walk to 3 grocery stores, 6 parks, many many places to eat, and to just about any other store you can imagine.
We downsized our 1,225 sq ft apartment in SC so that everything we owned would fit into a 9x8x5 ft metal moving cube. We thought we were rock stars with our new minimalist way of life. Yes it was a puzzle to get it all to fit, and yes our car was full as well, but we thought we were great. For about 2 weeks.
After the liberating 2 week trip across the country reality hit when we unloaded the moving cube. The unload took 2 hours. Much better than the 10 hours it took to unload the truck we packed to move to SC, that was the good news. The bad news, during the two hours of unloading we watched the poorly designed 425 feet of space disappear. We were once again slapped in the face by all our "stuff" as it took over all our living space.
With that said, I love Seattle. It's raining today, just the weather I need to look though my possession and continue getting rid of stuff!
