last week, we went to look at a couple apartments at Paces Crossing. we knew we wanted something a little bigger than what we have no. i feel like we just have a lot of clutter laying around our apartment now because we have no where to put it. we looked at a 1 bed 1 bath with a den area (which could be converted into another bedroom or office) that we really liked. the kitchen was bigger, the bathroom was bigger, the living/dining room was bigger. we then ventured over to the 2 bed 2 bath apartment. at first i was thinking to myself "do we really need a 2 bed 2 bath for just 2 of us who sleep in the same bedroom? would it be worth it to pay a little more money?" landon and i went home and talked about the 2 choices and we have decided that we will probably go with the 2 bed 2 bath for the following reasons:
1. it's bigger, all over!
2. THE MASTER BEDROOM HAS A WALKIN CLOSET!!!!!!!
3. the extra room has a big closet in it for storage
4. we can put a futon/bed/couch and desk in the extra room so that if my family ever came to visit, they wouldn't have to get a hotel, and they could just stay with us. that would cut a big expense.
5. i didn't realize until we started talking about the 2 bed 2 bath how much i would like my own bathroom!!!
6. more room to decorate:)
i'm sure there are plenty of more pros to getting the 2 bed 2 bath, and i'll find that out later:)
i'm excited about getting a new place! it's so odd that we have almost been here a year, which means we have almost been married a year! we have been talking about what we want to do for our anniversary. anybody have any ideas for a fun/inexpensive getaway for 2?? we would rather drive somewhere to save some money. let me know if you have a suggestion!!
the only bad thing about moving is packing...........YUCK!
The one thing I don't have now that I want in my next house is a walk in closet. I can't believe it's been almost a year. I wasn't even pregnant at your wedding and now I have a baby! The very best anniversary celebration we ever had was to Fort Worth believe it or not. We used Priceline.com and stayed at the Renaissance hotel, they gave us an upgrade when they found out it was our anniversary. It was the most amazing suite, with the ultimate view and they even had chocolate covered strawberries and roses sent to our room for free. We went the modern museum of art, had a picnic, fed ducks at the park and had an awesome steak for dinner. Wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you guys are into this but I have a couple of ideas--Jonathan and I went camping once and it was surprisingly really fun!!! We took our tent, some marshmallows, some fishing poles or whatever and just talked to each other and hung out! Another great trip we took was to Dallas and just stayed in a fancy schmansy hotel that we get online for like 80 bucks a night and just kicked around town, went shopping, did whatever, and then drove home. It was so fun just because it was out of the ordinary. :) Branson is always really fun too but you kind of have to be into that kind of thing. It has a lot of older retired ppl and can be a bit corny but I still love it!!
ReplyDeletemichelle, it's funny that you mentioned branson because i mentioned it to landon the other day, and this was his reply, "maybe for our 20th anniversary!" hahahaha
