List

Yes we're moving, but only across town. Ever since John and I got married it's been one little apartment after another (except for the 6 months after Johns MBA that we spent at his parents house). We are really excited to be moving into a real house! Lottie and I spent some time this morning looking out the window thinking about things we aren't going to miss about little apartment life.

1--carrying groceries, car seats and toddlers from the parking lot to the door in the rain/snow/or wind.
2--carrying those same groceries, car seats and toddlers up the 17 steps to our front door.
3--not having anywhere to put our things (we have a guitar and an amp under every bed and a set of drums in the closet.)
4--hearing our neighbors
5--everything just barely works (dishwasher, microwave, heater, lock on front door.)
6--living on busy streets
7--miniature refrigerator
8--not having a yard
9--apologizing when friends come over because everything is so cramped
10--always feeling like we're getting ripped off

How exciting for you guys. Definitely something to look forward to. I love how lottie was just looking out the window; how cute! I'm glad you guys are going to have some space and I agree that apartment life is not something to be missed :)

I wish I were moving across town. I need an adventure!

I'm jealous. Even though we don't have neighbors, the space thing and having to rely on someone else to fix stuff on their time is a major pain. Congratulations!

I am jealous. You are going to have so much fun decorating new space. Can't wait to see your Knowlton skills come out.

Did you buy or are you renting? Where at? I miss town soooooo much and church there too. It's gastly here sometimes. But how exciting for you. I love having houses.....but be fore warned, Once you make it your own....it is terribly hard to leave it.
