Moving!

So, Mike and I decided that it's time to move out, and we're getting our own apartment! It's a little bit small, but for what we need right now, it's at a perfect price point, and a good size.

So, today, while Madison has been napping, I decided to -finally- tackle the attic. I had about... 10 crates filled with stuff I haven't touched in years. 5 bags for goodwill and 3 garbage bags later, I only have two boxes of crap. One is stuff I'm keeping for nostalgic value, the other is our winter clothes. This doesn't include Madison's stuff.

So, now I'm taking a short break, blogging, and going back into the attic to try and find one box that seems to be missing. I have a box filled with books that I've never had anywhere to put, since I never had a bookcase. In the apartment, there is a huge bookcase built into one of the walls, so I finally have somewhere to put these books, and I can't find the books!! I also have to take the empty crates out and bring them to my room and start to put stuff in them.

I'm looking around the room. We really don't have -that much- that we have to pack. There is a lot of crap in the closet that can go in boxes that'll just stay in storage in the attic. Mike's old baseball cards, stuff like that. We have my grandfather's old china that he bought in Japan, but that's already all packed up.

The apartment has lots of storage space. There are two storage areas by the front door. We'll probably use one for storage, and turn the other one into our closet, since only one of the bedrooms has a closet. And then we have the entire attic to ourselves. We also have a section of the basement for a washer/drier, some storage, and a place to keep our strollers and outdoor things, like Madison's pool and stuff. Now we just have to get a washer and drier.

I'm very exited, yet a bit scared at the same time. This is the first time that I'm not going to be living with my family. Although, we're just moving like, 5 minutes away, so it's not like I won't be here a lot. I'll probably be bringing the baby over to hang out with my sister and nephews a lot.

Mike wants to paint... I honestly don't want to paint. I mean, I'm not a fan of white walls either, but it's a lot of money and a hassle for somewhere that we'll be in for two years at most. Painting my room here was different, since it was kermit the frog green and the other room had no paint. The paint in this place isn't bad. It's just white. I'm sure some pictures on the wall and colorful things in the rooms can liven them up. We can get a funky bedset for our room, etc.

So yeah! I'm excited. I think we get the keys on the 28th, if not sooner. The guy is really nice, and he said something about going on vacation, so we'll be getting them before he goes.

Alright, I've got a ton more to say about this, but I really have to go in the attic some more and get everything in the garbage/in the car for goodwill etc before babygirl wakes up.

Tata!
