Moving!

New apartment!

We're moving into a bigger apartment!  We're staying in the same complex and, in fact, the new apartment is quite literally a stone's throw from the current one: it's downstairs and catty-corner across the courtyard.  We can see it from our balcony.  New apartment is a first floor one, though, which will make everything so much easier.

For only $110 more a month we'll get a second bedroom, a second bathroom, a slightly larger living room, more windows, more closet space and did I mention a second bedroom?  We'll be able to stick P's desk (and associated detritus) in there, my fiber stash in there, my review books in there, etc. etc. etc.   The onther thing, which you can't see on the flooplan but is there in reality is that the master bedroom has a sliding glass door, too--on the diagonal wall.  So we'll have to have the bedroom arranged differently (right now, the bed is on the diagonal wall), but there are two windows and the patio which means there should be a lot more light in there.  My biggest gripe about the current apartment--apart from the fact that it's not big enough for two people--is that it's got terrible light.  Hopefully we'll get slightly better light with a southern exposure instead of the eastern one we have now.  Certainly can't be much worse, to be honest.

I'm ridiculously excited about it and keep rearranging the furniture in my head--because after we move, we're getting the new couch!  Whee!  And then we'll be saving up for a dining room table and chairs!  And it will all go together in a delightful IKEA sort of way!  Whee!
