I'm in the apartment! I decided to take a personal day on Thursday and move myself in. It all went very smoothly, and my bed was delivered in the afternoon. I've been sleeping on the mattress the last couple nights because the assembly process seems a bit daunting.

Alex moved in yesterday with most of his stuff and a lot of kitchen supplies. We were able to pick up the TV we bought on Craigslist with his parents' van. The apartment is a pretty good size, so we're going to have to get creative with filling the place on a budget. The rest of his stuff (the big stuff like his sofa, chair, etc) is being delivered hopefully next weekend, so that will help clear the echo out.

Overall, it's a really great place. Our neighbor from below came up to introduce himself to us and said that we have the nicest apartment in the whole building! So that's good to know. AND one of the best parts of my room is the view: I can see both the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building from one of my windows.

I must be heading because this weekend has been crazy and I still have to get to Target tonight (yes, one of the only two Targets in NYC is one subway stop away from the new place!), but I will keep you updated soon. I will post pics of the place as soon as we get some more stuff put away.
