Things have been so crazy the last couple of weeks, I never got to write about our move. At the beginning of the month we were able to move into a nicer apartment with a LOT more space. The best part about it, was that it was literally down the street, and we didn't even have to change wards.
Moving day was stressful because we were dealing with the kids, only having 1 person show up to help, and it being one of the warmest days of the year...but we survived. More help came, and we were able to get all moved in by late afternoon.
What we love about it:
-NO upstairs neighbors...the ones at our old place were CRAZY loud.
-Central air...no more living in an 85 degree apartment all summer
-Basement for storage...its HUGE. No more having to stash rolls of paper towels everywhere.
-Bigger rooms...it feels more like we're living in a house than an apartment.
-Our own backyard...we're going to plant a vegetable garden soon.
-Covered parking and patio...winter's will be so much easier, and we can still bbq in the rain!
-HUGE front yard...we've got a tree with a swing, and lots of room to play.
-Living close to friends...Marley has a sweet little friend from church that lives across the street.
And basically everything is NEW. Our old place was just that...OLD.

What we don't love as much:
-SUPER creaky floors...still trying to find the "safe spots" to use
after we lay the baby down to sleep.

-Smaller bathroom...like if someone opened the door while you
were on the pot, it would probably hit you.
-No dishwasher...not the worst thing, but I feel like
I'm CONSTANTLY cleaning or putting away dishes.
We don't mind those things that much, if I were to make a list of dislikes about our old place it would be a mile long.
Marley had no problem adjusting to the change at all which was nice. I think it helped that we set up her room right away so she could take a nap in there
before bedtime when it was dark.
We're finally feeling settled in and like this is home. We plan
on sticking around this place for while.
