Moving

Sadly, this post will not have any pictures of our little man, but they will be coming soon.  For now all that needs to be said is that we moved.  We used to live in a two bedroom apartment, and now we live in a two bedroom apartment.  Cool huh?  There are actually quite a few differences that I will list for your enjoyment:
1. It is 200 square feet bigger.
2. It has one covered parking stall (good for summer and winter).
3. It has a small storage unit (excellent because I no longer have a collection of stuff under Isaac's crib or my bed!).
4. It has an area of grass where Isaac can play that doesn't lead onto a busy street.
5. It has washer/dryer hook ups (so we could get ours out of Susan's garage).
6. The master bedroom is big enough to fit our 2 desks and small table (all for the computer gadgets we have), so that our office is now a part of the bedroom, not Isaac's room!
7. The new apartment is one block east of our old one, so we still have friends close by and we are in the same ward.
8. It is $70 cheaper than our old apartment.
There are of course a few downsides, like no pantry (just a lot of cupboards), older appliances, and cheaper blinds.  But oh well! I am happy and since I'm the one who spends MOST of my time at home, Kory will have to live with the downsides.

How did all this come about you may ask? I knew we needed some more room, so I arranged it, asked my parents if they could come help, and then told Kory we were moving :)  My mom is such a gem.  She came up here to help me, and in three days we got almost everything done!  The only things that remain are some odds and ends I need to sort through, and a little bit of cleaning at the old apartment. I wish everyone could have a positive experience moving, like I had, because the only complaint I have right now is I AM EXHAUSTED! But yeah for moving...
