It would be so nice to stay in this condo for awhile...but it seems already that this would be hard, especially if we had another person to the family. We have already filled out the space, essentially 3 bedrooms!
Things I love already:
- My shower/bathtub (yes, we have 2 large bathrooms in this place, so Josh and I each have our own) I am so excited to finish decorating this space and get my make up, lotions, and perfumes into their places. It is a lovely bathroom. For us women it is so important to have a place that you LOVE to get ready in the morning.
- Our kitchen. All of it. I even have extra space in the cabinets. And I had to stop myself from neurotically wiping every spill I made on our flat stove top while making dinner tonight. Well, I stopped and then Josh did it :-) It is so nice, one cannot help to want to keep it clean.
- Our dining room! Our dining room in our old place wasn't much and we didn't tend to eat there very often unless we had guests over. Josh and I have eaten at this table 2 of the 3 nights we have been in this place (the first night it was too surrounded/stacked with boxes to use.
- LAUNDRY MACHINES!!!! In our condo!!! I don't have to walk up or down steps and doing laundry doesn't require quarters! The first full day we were here I think I did 6 loads of laundry, mostly because I could :-)
- I cleaned our building (The Commodore Apartments, in Magnolia) for the last time today. One of our tenants told me that she thinks I deserve to be able to hire someone to clean my house now. I think she is right. I couldn't stop dreaming all day about when Josh and I will be able to do that, it may come sooner than later it I find a full-time job and we have 2 full incomes coming in. That would be wonderful.
- explore the area more. I still have yet to find a good place to run. This is very important to me. I hope to have time to look later this week.
- get all the boxes unpacked and out of here so our home looks even more lovely and so that I can take some pictures to share with family and friends!
- Try Ascension Presbyterian. Josh and I decided this is where we want to try attending. Maybe this Sunday or next?
- find a full-time job. Days are so much longer when your hubby works 8-6 and you don't. I work these hours 2 days a week right now, but would really like to do something in my field full time now that I am done apt managing (officially done at the end of the week, this means I'm still taking care of needs/ phone calls/etc. but not anything extra) Please pray that I will get the job I interviewed for a week ago or that more interviews will come along and that I can start working full time again!
- Have friends over (after everything is in place of course). Hope to get a Housewarming party on the calender soon!
- Try out our Bungalow! This is in our condo association and has an exercise room, movie theater, and large party room. I will probably try out the exercise equipment first. This will come in handy this winter.
