So we've pretty much found the perfect apartment.
It's so awesome, we want to move in right this minute.
It is in a quiet area with a pond and acres of wooded area to walk around in. And the apartment itself is fantastic (1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, den, washer, dryer, dishwasher, balcony, sliding glass doors, private patio, cathedral ceilings, fireplace, lots of closet space, 987 sq. feet). I love everything about it. It is twice the size of our current apartment (not to mention better maintained/constructed and in a better location) but for only $150 more a month.
I've been squealing like a schoolgirl just thinking about it. I've already started to decorate it in my mind and we're looking to see if there's anyway we can move out of our current apartment early.
*dances*
Oh, and we need a new couch for cheap. So if anyone knows where we can get a nice couch for under 300, we would be forever grateful.
Also, I hacked off all my hair again. I can't stop touching the back...it's so short. Loves it.
