Moved Again

In nearly seven years of marriage, we've moved nine times. No, really! And each move, thankfully, has been a good one.

I am very pleased with our new apartment. I didn't realize how much more space we have now until we had moved our furniture in. It's not as unique as our little home on Pleasant St. but we've been a lot more comfortable here, and we love it.

My goal with this place is to really establish a "house of order." So far, so good! Now that we're able to store our things in our garage, our house is no longer packed with clutter, but only with the things we use. It's very functional. Here are some photos of the new place.

Bottom floor: living room, dining area, kitchen, half-bath, front patio and balcony in back.

View from the front door. Can see balcony/play area in back.


View from the stairs. Can see the front patio from here.


Kitchen is small, but has a dishwasher--yahoo!


Top floor: Full bathroom, 2 bedrooms.

You can see in the reflection one of my favorite features of this apartment--the washer/dryer! I actually enjoy doing laundry. It's outrageous.



Hunter thought we could turn the kids' room window into a little reading nook. I haven't sewn the cushion yet, but you get the picture. I like that Paulo has a nice place to retreat if he wants...

But lately, the boys have been more interested in the front patio, because Paulo got a new hand-me-down car, which Hunter has since turned into Speed Racer's Mach 7. Even Andre enjoys driving around.




We're very happy and grateful our friends (now neighbors) told us about the opening in this place. And just so you know, it should be much more accomodating for visitors!--hint,hint. :)

Taking the hint. Hoping for another chance someday! Beautiful place! Cam and I have moved once in our marriage. From Provo to Bounti. And now we're getting ready to move a second/last time. Hoo-rah! Andre looks so much like Hunter in this photo. Something about his head/eye placement/hair? LOL. Love you guys, miss you. xoxo Love the nook btw.

You and Magra, love for the laundry. Way to go Paulo Picaso! Wish we could visit you in Cali but are so happy to have you come stay with us. We can't wait. Luvs
