So, we think we have our apartment. After A LOT of debate and stress and trying to figure out what the best thing or us would be, we have decided to go with a basement studio apartment in an old Victorian home. The rent is so great, the location can't be beat, and the landlords are super nice. But, let's be honest, it's a STUDIO for TWO OF US!!! Dustin and I are determined to make it work b/c we have the long term goal in mind of owning a home next year. Soooooo.....out of town guests will be either extemely snug or out some cash when visiting. We apologize for any inconvenience this may be to our family or friends, but unless you want to buy us a home you'll just have to deal with it for now. =)

Having made the decision, we are very excited to just know where we'll be living and can start to plan accordingly. Our minds may or may not change by tomorrow morning, i'll keep you posted.

   i'm really excited for the both of you. you should have seen kellie and i's first apartment in beverly. the bedroom was barely large enough for our queen size bed, the living room floor was on a thirty degree angle, the kitchen boasted a hasty bake oven that you had to light by hand and the bathroom ceiling was rotting through due to water damage. in sum, it was a complete rat trap, but it was also $750 a month and we were lucky to have it.
   
   i'm not sure you'll love living the studio life, but you'll probably look back on the year fondly.
