Well, we're movin' on up...

to the east side, to a deluxe apartment in the sky. Well, kind of. We decided we wanted to move out of our parents' houses sometime this summer. We started looking at places about a month ago. We were just browsing, taking our time, weighing our options (location, pricing, size, you know). We started to narrow down our search and start looking more seriously. We found a nice community in a GREAT location for BOTH of us, which is exactly what we were hoping for. We wanted a middleground so that we would each kind of be equidistant from work. This particular community had the best location, so next was price and size. This particular place also had great options as far as size goes. We could choose from an apartment to a terrace to a townhouse. We decided on the terrace (the price was good, too). For those who don't know (I didn't know when we first heard), a terrace is basically an apartment, it's like the bottom floor of a townhouse. It's a little confusing, so you'll just have to come visit!

(NOTE: the outdoor pictures are of our actual unit, but the indoor pictures are of the model we toured - but ours should look exactly the same inside.)

Our courtyard (we're the white house in the back corner)

Our cute place (So here's a terrace. That's our door and we just have the bottom floor. There is a door on the other side of our place to enter into the two-floor townhouse that is above us.)

View from the entrance
(the living room is much bigger than it looks, it's actually quite a spacious little place)

Our kitchen (with TONS of cabinets)
Bathroom

Master bedroom (also bigger than it looks)

Master closet
Second bedroom (about the same size as the master bedroom)
Our bay window and front door
Our move-in date is set for May 30. We are excited to have found such a great place and continue to be more and more excited about moving in! Come visit! :-)

P.S. Sorry to leave you all hanging for so long (the few of you that actually read this)! I know how boring it gets when you check back and there are no updates. I'm trying to be better, I promise. I just need to start taking more pictures so I feel like I actually have something to blog about!
