Change of Heart

Last week while making dinner with J, I started naming off all the ridiculous reasons why our apartment is too small (laughing about doing the first thing on the list). It is a little tiny for 2, but we've made due...mostly because J is such a sweetheart and knows how much I love it here! Well, we gave it a shot again and visited the leasing office yesterday. We've already looked at the bigger 1 bedrooms and the 1 bedroom + den, all with no luck. My teeny tiny apartment just has too much charm to give up easily. We toured the "big dogs" in the community... the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom. We LOVED the floorplan of 2 of them but when touring the available units, we were so disappointed with the doorway and the hallways leading up to them (I guess a picky thing to dislike, but who likes walking down a long dark hallway just to end up at your front door, which is surrounded by doors to the water heaters?!?). Finally, FINALLY, we decide to look at the big, BIG dog and we fell in love. So, I'm very excited to say that J and I will be moving into our new home in less than 3 short weeks! It is bittersweet for me-- 6207 is the first place I've ever been alone. I had to grow ALOT here over the first 6 months. It was the first time I've been financially on my own, as well. But this little guy finally feels like home and I'll be so sad to leave. However, it makes it all worth it because 1308 is a place J and I chose together and feels like another step for us. Plus, it's bigger, which means more comfortable and more rooms to furnish and decorate!!

So, just for the sake of keeping 6207 in our hearts:

You know your apartment's too small when...

You have to wash the spinach in the bathroom sink

Your boyfriend is forced to watch "The Hills" because there's only room for one tv

Your boyfriend is in the bathroom, so you have to pee in the kitchen sink

Your dining room, living room, laundry room, and kitchen all share the same room

The smoke detector in your bedroom goes off because you’re cooking in the kitchen
