Today, I decided to take a look at the ole blog. Dust her off. Let it breathe a little.
So two months ago, I wrote a little entry. Why the lack of posts, you ask? For starters, we went without internet for about a month.
And why would I take the very drug from my vein cold turkey like that? Easy.
We moved - to a deluxe apartment.. no - HOUSE in the sky!
Only 3.3 miles from our former location at the Amiron Condos in Orem, a house sat there. Longing. Waiting. Begging for a little love and affection. Of course, we didn't know that at the time... but our property management did.
This property has been on our property manager's 'to do' list for over a year. Basically, the home was a vacation spot for a doctor from Minnesota who comes to hike and ski each year.
Three weeks a year.
Wouldn't YOU like to own a house that stays vacant the other 49 weeks?
So, the owners live in London, and cannot travel for 2-3 years due to some medical issues, and they've decided to rent their home for a low price to a family willing to do the upkeep.
The Condos at Amiron weren't too shabby. We had a three bedroom, 1250 square foot condo which we were able to paint to fit our modernesque style from its former flower power wallpaper scheme.
A year and a half we laid our head, and enjoyed most of it. But the space we had just seemed to get smaller and smaller.
Then - February came.
We sent an email to our property manager asking if she knew of other locations which we could hang our hat with a little more wiggle room...
And boy did she come through.
Our new home in the Pleasant Grove portion of Utah's Happy Valley is located just two houses from the mountainside.
We went from 1250 square feet to almost 3,100 square feet, and for less than $100 difference a month.
Technically, we have a living room, a family room, and an entertainment room.
You know what that means?
Constant. Social. Gatherings.
Once we're unpacked, I'll add photos, and we'll have a housewarming.
Along with movie nights and game nights, I've got a few ideas in store:
Dude Night/Chick Night is one of many ideas I'm bouncing in my head.
I'll keep you all posted.
