Our New Place
Here are pictures of our current residence. We're hoping to be here a while because we're tired of moving so much, but since it's a rental - who knows...
We love our back porch. The roof is also a porch that comes out of our bedroom above. They're very shady and nice and cool in the evenings.
Our side of the duplex has a nice big 2 car garage, a huge storage area and an attic space.The front door is behind the garage.
Our dining room and kitchen.
The office - scrapbook - everything room.
And our bedroom.

Not pictured: full bathroom upstairs, laundry/half bath combo downstairs, Big Brother's bedroom upstairs (too messy), the living room and the back and front yards.

Moving Again!
Yikes! Yes, we planned on staying in this apartment for at least 2 years - but who knew that we'd outgrow it so fast? After setting up the baby's crib and looking at all of the baby stuff that is accumulating AND our overall lack of space everywhere AND Braden's recent request for a backyard for his birthday - we decided to start looking for a new place.
We found that awesome place today.
It's a duplex located right off of 5 Mile Rd (yes a busy street) and is an older place (70's). It's biggest selling points for us - 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, 2 levels (no one above or below us), 2-car garage, awesome backyard and front yard (lots of trees and SHADE!), price, and w/s/t paid. It also has TONS of storage, lots of living space, an awesome patio, another little patio on the 2nd floor accessible from the master bedroom, a couple of ceiling fans, a central vac system, and a pellet stove. Things I don't love - 1/2 bath downstairs is in the laundry room - so wierd..., smells old and like pets have lived there (yup, they have) there's a little pet door going to the back yard..., it is old - think yellow/goldish countertops and shower, yellow/green refridgerator, dark molding/floorboards.
Other awesome-ness - they're giving us $100 cash just for filling out the app on the same day we looked at the rental, $250 off of August's rent as a move-in credit, and the company puts $750 + 7.5% of each month's rent into a savings account that we can use towards buying a house when we're done renting if we'd like.
So - now we've got to give our 30-day notice on this apartment, have a baby, move out/move in before the 1st weekend in August, get this apartment cleaned, and then Nikki gets married - all in less than a month.
