Well, I just wanted to give everyone an update on our status. We have made it to Florida! We are in the area that we will be living in for the next three years, but we are staying at Robert's grandparent's home until all of our stuff arrives on Monday! After that we will unpack for days I am sure. :) This past weekend we have been super busy trying to get ready. We are cleaning the apartment and taking a good look at what we will need furniture wise, etc. Today we went shopping with Robert's parents. We were looking for a new laptop for Robert to start school with and a new TV. Of course, we came back with some nice new toys. We are definitely ready to be settled in somewhere again, but we are not excited for the work and MONEY it is going to take to fill another apartment. However, I do like the idea of redecorating and shopping for the fun things!
The apartment is really nice. Definitely a step up from our last apartment, but there are always things you still miss. For instance, we found out today that there are no ceiling lights in the living room or bedrooms...oops! :) So, now we need to get busy finding some good lamps, so we are not sitting in the dark our first night. However, on the positive side we doubled the size of our living space, we now have a dishwasher, lots of storage spaces, and many fun amenities to utilize. I think with some fine touches the apartment will really come together! We have the most beautiful view ever, so what more can you ask for!

totally an apartment life with no lights- in fact, we're getting ready to sell our apartment lights from 8 years ago- the big tall white ones- you should have taken them with you while you were here!
