After 2 years in a tiny box... we began looking for some. Gotta love my cute husband who will dumpster dive for boxes rather than spend money on buying some. They were in the recycle only bin and in good shape. We're poor and we adapt!! haha We are SOOOOO happy to be moving apartments.
We survived two years in a small basement apartment and are now upgrading! Living without so many things make you appreciate the little luxuries that others may think are standard. We are looking forward to:
-a dishwasher
- not having our dining table, couches, and desk all in our living room
- not scraping snow off our car in the morning because we now have covered parking!!!
- no more drumming (the teenager upstairs plays in the high school band)
-a washer a dryer!! (thank you to Colie/Blair, Gma&Gpa fowler, and Mom/Dad for letting us do our laundry at your place. We couldn't have survived without you!)
-having room in our bedroom to not have to step over our laundry baskets or reach our dresser while laying in bed
- a kitchen with more than a square foot of counter space
-a full size stove (we had a miniature one. probably one that would fit into a RV)
-Being able to buy anything we want at the grocery store without fear we'll have nowhere to fit it. (The refrigerator was miniature as well)
-Normal light switches (our previous ones required you to hold them down for 3 seconds before they would turn on. Imagine if you are in a hurry... ya.)
- No need for electrical adapters. All of our outlets were 2 pronged, so any plugs with 3 prongs needed an adapter)
It was our first place, and we learned a lot about each other by living in such close quarters. Hooray for an upgrade!! We love it! I have mounds of projects in mind and plenty of room to decorate. Let the fun begin!
