We are moving!

I'm excited to say that we are moving back to town, closer to my husbands job and our families.

We moved way out here because my husband worked at the prison, but he started a new job back in town last year.

The job he has now offers home loans through the company, but he has to be there certain amount of time before he can qualify for it. So we decided to try out an apartment for the next year.

I am actually pretty excited about it! We will be losing a LOT of space, but it will be nice and we got in on a great special so the rent is fairly decent. Nothing is cheap in town....

As far as apartments go, these are really nice. We could have moved already but were determined to have a downstairs apartment, so we have been having to wait till mid April...sigh... BUT it'll be worth the wait because I do not want to have to lug groceries up the stairs every week, or moving in itself to an upstairs apartment is no fun. It also is taking longer because they are upgrading our apartment, so it will have new floors, paint, etc. 

We will also have a pool, which is a big part of why I thought trying an apartment out for a year would be a good idea. 

It also has a small fitness center. 

I really wanted to find an apartment with all of these amenities but that also had a playground. 

It has a couple of toys but isn't really a playground. 

HOWEVER......What it does have is even better!!!It is literally right next to a big park that has two playgrounds, a basketball court and soccer goals! So walking to the park isn't even really any further than walking to this little playground. 

I am really excited to be so close to the park and to have a pool. 

I think we will have fun this summer. 

I am a little worried about the space issue, but I have really been getting rid of anything that I can and I have been REALLY working on organization with the apartment in mind. I have so many great organization ideas now, and after we move and I get settled I am going to start writing posts on organization. 

I'll let you know how it is going after we get settled in. I don't know where I am going to put bookshelves though!!! 

Have any of you done the apartment thing? How did you make it work???
