It’s only taken me, ohhhh, almost 2 months to take and post pictures of my apartment up here in Timmins. My family has been bugging me for ages; I was inspired to do so after being at home this weekend. My sister is moving into a new house in Peterborough (for school), and she was sporting pictures of it BEFORE she even started living there… I figured it was about time to get my butt in gear as well :)

Oh! Hello there. You must be Lauren's living room/kitchen.

I realize they look tiny - but you can click on either panoramic shot (thanks PhotoStitch!) to see the full sized image.

Oh look, she also has a bedroom.

I picked the colours myself.

♥ Love it.

I never would have thought it would be so hard to find a place to live in Timmins.

It makes sense when you think about it , though - Gold is doing well (and allegedly a safe investment during a recession), and Timmins is filled with gold and diamond mines. It’s also really far from neighbouring towns, which means you don’t have a lot of options apartment-wise (unlike Toronto - or any other major municipality for that matter). 

I’ve called at least 20 different landlords regarding apartments - and a few sounded really great; but I didn’t act fast ennough (ie. withint 24 hours!) to land them. It’s getting close to crunch time, so keep your fingers crossed that I find a place - and SOON!

T-12 days until the move - YIKES!
