So I did it! I told myself that after Spring semester I would consider moving out and trying this thing people call "living on their own". I still go to my parents house at least every other day and haven't quite made it to the point where my room in their house isn't still my room. I figure if I keep a few choice items in there they can't move Riley in or change it into an exercise room just yet.
Thus far it has been quite the learning experience, but a good one nonetheless. I am still up getting ready when everyone else in the house is asleep and leave before they even think about getting up. I cook a lot more it seems, but eat less...go figure. It has forced me to be more social, yet it is a rare occasion that two of the roommates are even home at the same time. I clean dishes more than I ever did at home...one because we don't have a dishwasher, and two because we don't have a dishwasher...either a machine or someone to do it for us.
I will post pictures when we really get settled in. We still don't have any place to sit and haven't decorated much, but will be doing so shortly. I will keep you updated and pictures really will follow!

Congratulations on moving out, but don't you think you should do the 'rents' a favor and let them move things around too! Come on, let Riley move downstairs.
Nice move. You may find yourself at your parents house more than ever for awhile. Well, for me anyway--living on my own took some getting used to. You'll love it.
Well way to go! I think it is definately something that you have to do before the marriage thing happens. It teaches you so much!
I'm happy for you kati. It's a lot of fun and it really does prepare you for marriage in a way that nothing else can. When are we getting together?
I loved living with Becca... besides her messy ways (love you Becca). Enjoy your freedom and take advantage of it before you make any drastic decisions with a boy!
Congratulations! I am so proud of you! I remember when you were just a young pup... you are all grown up now! Brings a tear to my eye. haha.
