Out with the Old & In with the New


Things I will miss about our apartment:
1. Having a maintenance guy to fix everything for free.
2. Small space to clean.
3. The awesome walking trails by the creek.

Things I will not miss:
1. Hearing the people go to the bathroom above us.
2. Having to walk Chester every time he needs to go potty. (Aaron will not miss this more :))
3. The big piece of dry-wall that is missing from the ceiling in our garage. (good thing my car wasn't parked in the garage when it fell)
4. The small space.
5. "Throwing" our money away to a temporary home.
6. The satellite going out after a 5 mph wind. (it is ghetto rigged on a "stand" in our flower bed)
7. The fire alarms going off for no good reason.
8. The boring light khaki walls that look white.
9. Having an office/bedroom.
10. Drunk teenagers fighting at 3 am outside our window.
11. The occasional late night Dallas Police Chopper (with spotlight) circling the woods behind our apartment. (Yes, the same woods we hike in!)
12. The delay of receiving a mailed package since our management is never at work.

Obviously, our new home will be better suited for us. I hope so at least. We will, hopefully, be closing a week from tomorrow! Probably won't be living there until mid-March after all of the improvements. We are excited (and nervous) about becoming homeowners soon!!!

Haha! #10 is great. We experienced the same thing all the time bc we lived in between two different colleges. It was always nice...

I'm so excited for you guys! Have so much fun decorating, fixing the place up, etc. I can't wait to see it. My mom has just raved about the place. :)
