I Feel Like I'm Going To Pee!

And not just because of that kidney stone still rattling around my bladder!

We have been thinking about moving to a different apartment in our same building for awhile because we only have one bedroom, the kitchen here blows, and the bathroom is off the bedroom (which sucks when guests are spending the night). None of the two bedroom apartments in our building were exactly what we were looking for except for one. It was perfect except that it had carpeting all through it. We don't do carpet. Allergies, cats, spilling -- none of it's good. After thinking it through, we decided that we'd just stay put because it's cheaper to live in a one bedroom than a two bedroom and it's not like we HATE our apartment or anything.

Then, the landlord showed us an apartment that was a huge one bedroom converted to a two bedroom. It's unpainted drywall and concrete floors right now, and he said we could pick the floors and the paint for no extra charge. So we're getting a two bedroom apartment with hardwood flooring throughout. The bathroom is off the living room instead of the bedroom, and it has a much bigger kitchen with an island that has a seating area on one half. We haven't had a dining area in over five years of marriage because we've always lived on the cheap in tiny apartments. I WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO EAT SITTING IN AN ARMCHAIR, HUNCHED OVER MY PLATE LIKE AN ANIMAL.

This is a big deal for us, guys. It's our first big kid apartment. The first time we've been involved with any of the design aspects of our living space. The first time I've had a hall closet or even a hall. The place won't be done for two to four weeks, but I am SO EXCITED.
