Some of the cons:
- Moving - packing and unpacking for the third time since we have been married!
- Cutting our space in about half. Now, we don't have a ton of stuff, but we definitely have spread out in the house we are in. I have a feeling things are going to feel a little cramped for a while!
- Going from having a yard and a garage right out the door. We have garage parking at the apartment, but two floors down! And I have to admit...I am going to miss the yard right outside now that it is getting close to summer and I have a baby that is actually walking!
- The hassle of having to get everything switched to a new address...mail, checkbooks, etc.
- Sharing walls with people. This makes it a little harder when you need to let your baby cry it out!
- Leaving some fun neighbors!
- Moving closer to some other fun neighbors!
- Moving makes me totally throw away stuff, and I always love getting to reorganize everything, and essentially start over. I just told Cameron, "I have a moving resolution - to actually keep our apartment really clean on a daily basis!" I know that probably sounds really sad to some of you, but I am not a naturally tidy person. I am working on it. :) Moving allows me to start some kind of a new cleaning routine, because you are starting fresh.
- 24 hour gym. We all know I need this desperately.
- Pool.
- No lawn to mow or water, which equals more time that Cameron gets to hang out with us.
- Cameron wanted me to add that we are literally a block away from Wal-Mart (blasphemy, I know), which makes it easy if we need a really quick grocery run. Just a disclaimer...we do most, if not ALL, of our shopping at our beloved Target! :)
Oh and PS....for all of you out-of-towners...ahem...you know who you are...we have a three-bedroom apartment, so plenty of room for visitors!!

I feel sorry for you moving again, but I am totally jealous of the throwing out and reorganization that you get to do! :) Glad that you can see the positives of moving in addition to the negatives. And don't worry, we will come see you soon, space or not! :) Ahem... haha! If dad is driving, Bode and I will totally tag along! You can put us to work... I will organize and Bode will de-organize (or at least keep Miley entertained)!
I hate packing too. no fun! but i am sooo jealous you will have a pool at the apartment. that will be really nice to have in the summer. Every week I try to make a goal to be cleaner than last week. It never happens so don't worry I am sure we are way less tidy than you!
Moving is such a pain but I'm SO excited you guys are moving so close to us!!! It's seriously gonna be awesome! And I know Wal-mart is blasphemous but you can't beat the convenience of living right next to it! Believe me, Wal-mart has saved our backs many times. It's like having a neighbor who has EVERYTHING and you can borrow it anytime, except your neighbor is Wal-mart, and instead of borrowing stuff you just buy it... yeah... anyway... We're pumped to have you as our neighbor and if you need any help packing (or watching Miley so you can pack) please let me know!
Well it's finally official, um.... Congrats!??! We are just glad you aren't moving far away. Let us help moving all those boxes and happy happy un-cluttering, I sure could use a de-clutter session at my house.
Good luck with everything! I hate the packing and unpacking process, but I'm impressed at your good attitude. :) I'm excited to see pictures of your new place!
I'm glad you've got it figured out now. I know that was a source of stress. Are you moving back to your old apartment complex? I'm jealous of the gym! You're so lucky!! Keep us updated!
Good luck! Be glad it's not a week drive with 2 kids and 4 dogs!! Haha! Hey, the 4 dogs were easy, I'd do that any day! Love ya!
