Living in Paradise with a walk in closet


Another huge step was taken today. Michael and I started looking for an apartment or townhouse for him or us to rent before we got married. Just so we can play house during the day and then at night I go home and sleep at my house. We have been looking for some time now and in fact his parents have even pitched in and started helping us look. Well its a funny story because about two weeks ago Mike and I looked at these one apartments that his grandpa used to live in and we had to decide the next day and we wanted to think it over for awhile and so we decide against it. Well when we called her to let her know that we didn't want the place she said that there was an opening in Sylvania on Main St ( I love main st by the way) So that was selling me on it but I don't think Mike really has that much for the location as much as what the apartment looks like. So we just had to wait it out until August 1st when the people that live there turn in the keys. So we were just going to wait.
Well when I actually stopped and sat down and started thinking I figured that Mike and I would save thousands if he moved out closer to the wedding and I wouldn't get so impatient about having to live at home so yesterday we talked and I told him my thoughts and he agreed. So then I get a phone call from Chris and she says the girls were turning in the keys and that if we wanted to come by today that would be fine. So Mike and I went to breakfast and talked it through and decided for sure that we were going to wait until January to take this huge step. So we got to the apartment and we are walking up and I could see myself walking that walk every night and I asked Mike later and he said the same thing. So then we get to the door and I am nervous that we are going to love it and we walk in and it has a sit in kitchen new appliances and cupboards and then we walk back to the master bedroom and it has a walk in closet I AM SOLD and at this point there is no turning back. When an apartment makes us that happy it is meant to be. So I called my mom because she is the bomb and she is always straight with me and she said Ashlea this is meant to be. So Mike and I went home and figured up our budget and we decided we could do it. I am so excited and could not imagine living anywhere else for being our first place. I am so excited and for Mike he is excited too.
