Today I am thankful for our apartment.
It's right in town so we can pretty much walk to everything (post office, bank, grocery store...). Although now that it's getting cold we don't walk so much, but it's still a very short drive :-)
It's a half block one way to the restaurant I work in and a half block the other way to the store Chris works in. No matter how cold it is, we walk that distance. We really couldn't even park much closer if we tried.
We are above one of the businesses on main street so we soak up a lot of their heat which means we don't have to have ours on very much (so far), so we are saving on electric bills.
We don't have to pay for internet because we pick up wireless from the realty company that owns the building and just happens to be next door!
It's bigger than our first apartment and even bigger than our condo was and much cheaper. Plus it has a huge deck and it's own laundry room with washer and dryer. Did you catch that? We have our own washer and dryer! This is the first place I have ever lived where I have my OWN washer and dryer! Do you understand how amazing this is??? Especially considering the amount of laundry that my children go through...
God definitely had a hand in bringing us to this apartment (and my sister who basically arranged the whole thing), it is just what we need for this stage of life. I wonder where we will go next!
I think you should wait until Darren and I build a house, and then buy the land next door and build a house there.
