One more move

Wednesday is going to feel like deja vu.  We have to pack up a U-Haul trailer and move the next day.  Feel like you've read this before?  I know it feels like I have typed this before.  We have been staying with my uncle until the first of September when we can finally move into our apartment. 

The two weeks we have been spending here have flown by and just when we get use to everything it's time to move.  The nice thing is that it is going to be a bit more permanent than the first move.  We signed our lease last week and got to do a walk through of a similar size apartment in comparison to the one we will be living in.  Going from a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment with a washer and a dryer to a one bed/one bath no washer or dryer is going to definitely be a change.  Not only are there less things like that, it is also about three hundred square feet smaller, but there are some benefits.  Like having a storage garage for all the tubs of shit holiday decorations we have.  There is also a nice big walk in pantry to make up for the lack of cupboards in the kitchen.    The biggest benefit though?  The amount of money we will save on rent.  The endgame is a house (whether it is renting or buying) in the near future. 

While apartments are nice because they require little upkeep, a house is a house.  It's the adult thing to do.  Once you get to a certain age, I think that it sounds a little funny to say that you live in an apartment.  As you start to get older and get more established the next step in life has always seemed to be house ownership.  And you can go from there and expand your family if you want via a pet or via the human pet (also known as a kid). 

I wrote about wanting a house earlier this year and I still want to live in one.  In the two weeks we have staying with my uncle, it has been nice to live somewhere that has stairs in it not going up to it.  It breaks everything up and separates everything.  Which is kind of why people who live in houses acquire more shit.  It all gets spread out and it looks like you have less than what you have.  Oh well. 





Wednesday.  The last part of our escape from the flat state of Kansas.
