We did just that. But of course we did it in December and January (in the most brutal winter in Chicago in a long time). I love the space in the new place. I like the idea of really making it our own, but, and I mean BUT I am not sure I am ready for the work. I'd rather be quilting.
I am on year five of living in Chicago after graduate school. I am planning a wedding. I am a grown up, or I should be. We'll see. That may be debatable.
