Sweet Gift

Over the past few months, I have been considering moving to another part of town, but about a month or so ago, I started searching for a new place.  I had been living in a townhouse and knew I would be looking for an apartment for the area of town I wanted to live in, so I had been preparing myself for apartment life (noises from neighbors above, no yard, etc….)

After looking at a few apartments, I found one I really liked (of coarse not perfect, but what is?), so after a few weeks of going back and forth with the owner about various things, I’m finally moved in and trying to get settled asap.

It’s a great new place for me and I’m enjoying so many things about it.  I’m so excited to live closer to other families on my team here and to be living closer to suburbia.  In my old neighborhood, I could hear cows and guinea pigs when I walked down the streets and now at the new place I see trees and grass, and plenty of cars.  It’s been quite a change and has taken some getting used to as it’s been a long time since I’ve lived in an apartment with another floor above(actually this is the first time ever for me).  My neighbors upstairs are pretty quiet, except their dog is quite lively. I can pretty much hear his nails clicking on the floors whenever he’s walking around up there. Every time the dog’s walking around, my cat just goes crazy and appears to be a bit confused, pretty funny.

All of these small adjustments are worth it though.  I’m not sure if I’m a huge fan of the orange and yellow walls, but I’m loving the wide open spaces in the living area. I now have a view of the mountains from my balcony that’s just gorgeous, lots of windows in the apartment to let the warm sunlight in, and a nice sunny space on the sofa for reading(or maybe napping....).  I’m so thankful I no longer live in a cave(my old place)  I’m also super pumped about my new kitchen and all the counter space, which means now I can cook and bake for fun! 

Relatively speaking, the whole process of finding my new place to moving in has been pretty smooth and settling in has been really nice.  All and all, this new place has been a pretty sweet gift to me!
