Moving....I think?

Tonight hubby and I dropped off our applications for the first step to getting a condo we looked at yesterday. We are renting, not buying, since we're not quite ready for a house and want to move beyond an apartment. Our current 600 square footage 1 bedroom apartment is quickly becoming smaller as RaeRae is closely approaching 5 months!

We love the environment where we live but with no washer/dryer in our unit and doing cloth-diapers full-time on our own, it's time to move on. We had been emailing back and forth with the owners of the condo with questions and them sharing about the place since the current tenants hadn't moved out (lived there for 5 years and moving back to the east). We saw a nearby condo there before but didn't take it because hubby wasn't confident about it. This condo we're looking at has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, larger kitchen, a built-in hutch, large living room area, patio with sun space (great for sunning diapers, and maybe hubby will install a better clothesline than the rack we have now--since the rack is breaking apart), and across street from a cute family park. There's a small farmer's market within walking distance. It's also about 2 minutes from the freeway entrance (great for hubby's commute to work) yet still somewhat secluded within housing.

So after months of searching, we think we have found our next home. New washer/dryer are being installed tomorrow and within the next few weeks, the carpets will be redone as well as the bathroom vanities and mirrors. If all goes well and our applications go through, we will move in July 23!


So these next few weeks will be a bit more crazy with packing and also on top of that, we are traveling a lot for family events and weddings. July will be one crazy month for sure--for us. And then August should be quieter.
