Moving!

Jan 19, 2012 15:58

As much as we love the place we live in now, we unfortunately can't afford the price of rent and bills here. We made plans last year to move into a bigger place with a friend or two, and this week we found the place. After living in south Minneapolis for about a decade, we'll be on the north side this town, around a mile closer to downtown than we currently are.

I'm really excited about this move. The new place is the top floor of a duplex, an older building that's recently been renovated. The floors are beautiful hardwood. There are two bedrooms, and the one that Sean and I are taking is larger than the one we have now. The closet is a large walk-in with some shelving, so there will be plenty of room for all of my costume stuff. We'll probably be able to fit all three dressers in there, so that's going to leave room for our bookshelves in the bedroom itself, and probably our couch. There isn't a light built into the room, but our lamps will be more than adequate. I'll still have space to work on choreography and do yoga.

The living room is pretty spacious. So is the kitchen. They're putting in a brand new gas stove, and the fridge looks pretty new. Off one side, there's a nice, big pantry complete with bin for things like potatoes. Off the other side is a bathroom, which isn't huge but it's sufficient, and also a small utility room with a washer and dryer. There's even a small balcony that overlooks the fenced in back yard. There's a back door in the kitchen that also provides access to the basement, where we'll have a pretty big storage locker.

We technically won't be out of our current place until March 1st, but our roommates will be moving in on February 1st. Over the course of the month we'll be gradually moving our things over to the new place. With the back yard, there's possibility of planting a garden. We'll also be doing shoveling in the winter and yard work throughout the rest of the year. It's going to be great!
