Yes that is a question mark in the title. Yesterday we got a call from our new apartment complex to inform us that they were mistaken, and our future apartment does NOT have a balcony. Wop,wop,wop....
So sad. On the flip side we did get to go to the apartment and look around. I still think it is nice, but the husband is not so convinced. We'll have to consider what our next steps are.
In the meantime, one thing we know for sure is we are not staying in our current place. Yay!!! Time to start packing. We are very excited to realize that we will be moving out with less belongings then we moved in with.
This weekend, we will be taking our guest bed and my old desk over to my mom's for her spare room. We will also be taking our China cabinet to a consignment store so our spare room will pretty much be empty. My only regret at seeing the China cabinet go is that our cat Fiona loves to sleep on top of it. We are planning on putting up some high shelves so she should have some perches to make up for it.
We will also be getting rid of our wooden kitchen cart - which leans about 30 degrees forward and doesn't shut all the way. It was a hand me down so no tears there.
Ryan is most excited about getting rid of our current couch. We actually took a window out of our current apartment to get the couch in, and he swore we would not be taking it with us when we moved. I agreed, plus taking the couch up the fire escape, across the roof, into a window, around a corner and into our living room pretty much ruined any support the couch previously had. So I can't wait to get rid of it either.
Basically all we are taking is: our bed, a chaise lounge, a two book shelves, a small kitchen table and two dressers. Plus various boxes of clothes, and kitchen stuff.
We are hoping to be able to make it with just a van, since there are just blocks between the two apartments.
I am excited to see what we will be able to purge as we pack up! Just a little over three weeks until the big move!
