The new place...

So as many of you may know, we have left our former Aggie Village apartment. We have now moved on to bigger things, bigger places. Seriously. We have left 650 square foot Aggie Village and now we have TWO bathrooms! Wow. And we actually have a laundry room! And a garage! No more carrying groceries a mile to the apartment. But I must say, we loved the time spent in Aggie Village and we still miss it. For the record, I loved having a gas stove.


So now we live in a fully furnished apartment until so we can work on finding a house. We are grateful that we have been given the opportunity to live here. Now with that said, lets just say it is not the most family friendly place. Is any place that is furnished with someone else's stuff? I don't think so. The first thing that needed to be done was to put these towels on the dining chairs. Our chairs are cushioned with WHITE fabric. YES! I said WHITE fabric. The next thing I had to do, is accept the fact that I will be cleaning the glass coffee table and side table constantly. The other thing we have had to get used to is the constant traffic that goes by our apartment. Next we had to find a park. Boy do I miss having a huge backyard and all of our toys on our porch. The first park we found was nice and ghetto. It was also geared towards older kids, so we moved on and found a nice one nearby. The only bad thing is that it is surrounded by baseball fields and it is definitely baseball season.


This is the one thing I hate about our apartment. The toaster! Many of you probably don't know but I eat toast every day for breakfast. I would say twice a month I eat something different. This evil thing is a fire hazard. You plug it in and it turns on immediately! You have to hurry and push your bread down (press the button) and hope that it sticks. I wrestled with it this morning.......it won and I held the bread down the whole time. Then when it hits the desired darkness, which I have no idea what the settings are because it is worn off, it not only pops up (if you get it to stay down) but it buzzes! Not a cute buzz, an annoying, loud, pee your pants because it scared you so much buzz! Then to turn it off you have to pull the chord out of the wall. It sparks every time. Isn't that fun? Also, notice the silk plant next to it? Yes, I know you are all thinking it is going to catch fire soon and it needs to be moved, but my point was going to be that we have at least 10 of them. At first I thought it was nice and green in here, now I think they are obnoxious. They are everywhere.

So there you have it. That sums up our new place. It is a love-hate relationship. And I must add for all of my AV friends, we did not escape the curry smells. It must be an apartment thing. We do not have much more time here, we move on the 7th into my Mom's house. We made an offer on a house, so we shouldn't be there long either. The chaotic journey continues. :)

BTW, Jake loves his job and we love that he is happy. Jake gets to spend more time with us now and we love having him home more.

Stay tuned for pictures of a haircut.
