When does a house become a home??
I really don't know how to answer that. Some people think it is the stuff you have in your house. Some say it's how it is decorated. But really is it the people? The sense of belonging? The knowing that this is where you live? The security?
Ryan and I moved into our new apartment about a month ago. Before you freak out, we do not live there together! He is living with friends in Lake O. But he has his stuff at our "house".
We love our little apartment. We have unpacked most of the boxes. We have a few pictures up and some decorations. Our furniture is where we want it, and my kitchen is AMAZING!!
But for the first time in a long time, I feel like I have a "home". I loved living with my parents, but it was slowly feeling less like "home" to me. But now, both Ryan and I feel like our "house" is "home". It is safe. It is warm. It is welcoming. It is already filled with memories.
So, does our stuff make it feel like home? No, it is us. We have made our cute apartment, home. I love it! I just cannot wait for my soon to be husband to live there too!
