moving...

Here are some change of address cards I have made to send out for when we move in two weeks! I can't wait!
I like this one :)
...as you can see, we've got boxes piled up to the ceiling!

Life consists of trying to clean the last two years of dirt off our apartment, packing, and sitting on our living room floor where we no longer have our couch (sold it on craigslist for some extra cash so we don't have to move with it). The good news is some friends of ours knew we needed new couches, and got us some free couches from their parents. I feel it's just that time in our lives when we will take the charity of others, fill our home with hand-me-downs and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

I guess that's what our education is for- so we can own our own furniture some day and give our old couches to some young crazy newly-wed couple.

my new home :)

We got the house we looked at to rent! This will be our home as of July 24th, and I'm super excited to no longer share walls with strangers! (we've lived in an apartment for as long as we've been married)

It's a little 2 bed, 1 bath bungalow, and I cannot wait to move and make it my cute little home :)

choices, choices, choices

So, as you know, my husband and I are searching for a place to live (come the middle-end of July). In the last two weeks, we have seen several floor plans in 2 separate apartment complexes, and one house for rent. All of our feasible options have at least a second bedroom/den of some sort, with at least 1 full bath. The really difficult decisions left to be made have to do with balancing our wishes with our budget. The house is more expensive when we take into consideration that utilities aren't included as they are in the apartments. But we would much rather have some distance with our neighboors...and the apartments give us just a little bit more room and a dishwasher. I'm definetly torn.

What do you think? Would you prefer to rent a house over renting an apartment?
