It's that time. The lease is up. We're collecting boxes. Yep, it's time to move. I've been in my apartment for two years now. And it is the best apartment ever! For me. By myself. When Jamie moved in we made it work, but the longer we've been living together the smaller the apartment has gotten. And quite frankly, the lease couldn't have been up at a better time. So we've been house hunting because I'll be damned if we're going to move into another apartment (even if it was a bigger one). I want a dog and I would like for my dog to have a yard and Jamie, most importantly wants a grill. Even though our next door neighbors have a grill on their fourth floor balcony I will not allow it (I have the Fire Marshall on my side too). So, we get a house, I get a dog (eventually, probably August) and Jamie gets a grill (immediately, so he'll stop talking about wanting one, and Jamie, if you are reading this, ONE to start with, not THREE as you've so outlined because I understand you're logic behind wanting three since they can all serve different purposes, but seriously, one will be fine for the foreseeable future, besides, you're not BBQ U). It's all that easy.
Looking for a house is not as fun as you would think it could be. We spent all day on Saturday in the car driving around all the streets we would want to live on and calling the numbers on the signs out front. We looked at three on Sunday and one yesterday. And believe it or not the first house we looked at (moving forward I will dub it the Ashland house until I come up with a cutesier name for it) is more than likely the one we will take. The two other houses we looked at on Sunday we're fine, for other people. But not for us. The house we looked at yesterday was AMAZING, but for some reason I couldn't picture us and our stuff (our red couch would absolutely clash with the brownish carpet and so would just about everything else I own) in it. It's a great house, a big one, with a fenced yard, a carport and all that jazz, but alas, I think the Ashland house put a spell on us so that anything else we looked at after it would pale in comparison.
So here we are, going to look at the Ashland house one more time tomorrow and then, assuming it's still as cute and still as perfect as we remember we'll begin moving ASAP. So, if you're not doing anything later you are more than welcome to come over and help us pack.
