At long last, after four years living in a basement apartment, my wife & I are finally moving into a "real" apartment on Wednesday! 
After dealing with leaking ceilings, floods, mold, one lonely window, and no friggin' space to store anything(!!!), we're headed up to a giant apartment with a huuuge kitchen, tons of light, lots o' closets, a balcony, a gym, a pool, and assigned garage parking. 
On the most part, we've actually loved living where we have. It's been really good to us----it did its job as our first apartment out of college, our landlord was very nice, and it had personality. Best thing about it will be the memories---it was the first place that Monica (my wife) and I lived in together.
What kind of sucks, though, is that this past week has seen a renewal of the leaky ceiling, leaks from the fridge, and the claustrophobic feeling of an apartment filled with boxes----all kind of making it easy to leave this place with a bad taste in our mouths.
Still, I guess the good memories will be the ones that stick. Plus, it all makes it really easy to get psyched up for the new place!! Woo-hoo! Five more days!!
