New Apartment


So it's official (well so close...) we have found a new apartment or condo to move into.

Demi told us last week that she will be moving in with her Mom in her new house. Debi is getting married on July 4th, to a man named Ray. Apparently Demi and Ray's son will be officiating and Ray has a brand new house off Badger road in North pole approximately 7 miles from Fairbanks. I actually think it's pretty ironic that Debi is getting married (IE: getting hitched) on Independence day, but maybe it's just me. SO...since Demi is moving out we are free to shop for a 2 bdr place for Dan, myself and Kodi.

Which means...Kodi gets her own room! I'm pretty excited about that. It's about time to get her things set up and get all her clothes, diapers and baby stuff out of our already cramped closet. So now she's going to have her own place to store all her stuff. I'm super stoked about decorating and getting it ready for her. It's like we have our selves a "little family". I'm excited anyways.

Our new apartment is across town but a few miles closer to Kodi's care giver and my work place. So...hopefully that will save on fuel. The apartment is 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, it has a garage, a beautiful BIG kitchen with green granite counter tops, and hard wood floors on the main level. Then it has carpeted upstairs and 2 big bedrooms and the master / upstairs bath.

As it stands we will be acquiring a garage and a .5 bath for the same price of our old apartment and will just have to buy a stack-able washer and dryer and pay an extra $25 per month to have it in our unit. Other wise we'd have to pay $3.00 a load outside in the commons area. We even have a small deck and grassy area outside where we can relax, we just have to share it with the other neighbors. (we're on the end)

Anyways...I just pray everything works out. I think if our budget goes up at all it will just go up barely for laundry. But you figure if you buy a W/D and install it the electric we'd be using would be comparable to the amount we'd be saving by not having to plug our truck in all winter. Thank you Lord!

So I'm just praying that the Lord protects us and that we don't make any stupid decisions. Oh yeah....another plus...it's a secured building so you have to know someone to get in and then our front door locks as well, so it's pretty safe.

Needless to say I'm pretty happy.

Yeah...that's not gonna happen. Not unless the University uproots itself and moves out there, THEN it might be worth the gas. :)
