We are moving! We signed a lease on an upper duplex in South Mpls. We'll be moving sometime in June, I've just got to pick a date to get all the big stuff moved over, I'm thinking the third week of June. We need to be out of our current place by June 30. If we move the third week, we can use the last week to get this place super clean so we can get most, if not all, of our deposit back.
The best part is our downstairs' neighbors are friends of ours! We have grand plans to garden in the back yard. I'm so excited!
Other bonuses about the place: central air, washer/dryer in unit and a dishwasher!
There is, so far, only one drawback to the place: no storage! there are only two closets, one in each bedroom, not nearly enough for pack rats like G and myself! I guess it's PURGE time. My mom is going to store all the baby gear since it'd be stupid to sell or donate that stuff just to have to buy new stuff if/when I get pregnant in the hopefully near future. I'll be investing in some space bags so we can utilize the space under our giant bed and in LS' closet. And we'll have a lot of clothes to donate or give away. And I'm sure quite a bit of trash to toss/recycle.
I'll also have to buy a dresser/storage unit at some point for linens. And something to hang our coats on by the door. but at least it's summer now so no coats for a few months.
Now I just have to start the packing. First off, like I always do with every move, is to pack up the books! Then the knickknack-y crap (which will be seriously thinned out) and on to sorting and packing away the clothes. Here we go!
