Housing Update

Michael and I just toured the other apartment in our complex that's up for grabs, and we're going to take it. It's actually better arranged than our current apartment (and we thought this one was great). It's on the ground floor, so no stairs to fight with. It's close to both of the doors into the building, close to two parking lots, and on the same floor as the laundry facility and the storage lockers. It has better in-apartment storage areas, more closets, and newer appliances, not to mention that as I type this they're painting the walls and installing new carpet! The linoleum in the kitchen is even a better color and will match more of our stuff. The windows don't have a view of a cherry tree, but they do face a big maple tree and a gorgeous evergreen tree, and we won't be facing the front parking lot anymore, so people won't be constantly peeking in our front windows. We'll also be much closer to the new pool (it'll be right outside the front door--just walk down the hallway and jump in the pool, basically). In spite of the pain of moving (and I don't think this will be all that painful a move), I think we're really going to like the new apartment.
