its going to be a busy month

Well hubby just told me to go ahead and upgrade to OD Lifetime. So here I am, a Lifetime member of OD. And in the long run it saves me so much money. I mean, I pay $24 a year and I have been on here for 6 years or sometime like that and I plan on being on here for as long as this site is running so the $100 was a good investment.

There is a chance that we are moving. Yay… more packing of boxes lol. But with the baby on the way we need the space. I have been thinking about moving for a while. I have been trying to weigh the pros and cons for a while now… lets see….

Pros 

  • The bedrooms are bigger
  • There is a pantry in the kitchen
  • There is storage space outside
  • There is a garbage disposal
  • There is a seperate space for the dining room
  • There is a deck and patio
  • There is a outdoor nature walk around a lake
  • There is a clubhouse
  • We would have a lot more space for decorating and wouldn’t be as cramped as we are now
  • I would know someone who lives at our complex
  • I would be closer to Target (always a plus)
  • We would be closer to Besy Buy and Game Stop
  • One of the places has tennis courts and a jacuzzi
  • There is a chance we would be able to get a 3rd floor
  • It is a lot more likely that we will get sunshine into our place
  •  
  • Most importantly: more room for our little one on the way

Cons

  • Its going to be expensive
  • Its going to be busy, trying to move close to the due date
  • We are going to have to hire movers
  • Organizing a new house is going to take time
  • We have to go through the whole lease process again
  • We have to organize getting out of this place and moving into the new place
  • We would be farther away from post
  • more utilities to pay for

Thats all I have in the way of cons. And I think it would be nice to pick a new place. Chris lived here with his ex wife back when they were still together and he had a stepson. I see this move as a good thing, a new start and what better time to start a new chapter in our life then with our first baby on the way. I’m just hoping that it all works out! I would love to get out of this place, it was a great starting apartment, but with our family on the way and us needing more space and not having any baby stuff yet, I think it would be easier to do the move now then later. We are putting the application in tomorrow and hopefully we get approved. *fingers crossed*

Here is our current floorplan minus the utility room since ours is a handicap access apartment and minus the pantry… I guess handicaped people can’t use pantries? Hmmm

This is the one that I really want

And this is our second choice

As you can see they all have more space then where we are now and have a better layout… more homelike then apartment like.

U live in the same place he lived with his ex wife!!?? Wow u are a better person than me. I would be pissed off 247!! Lol

I’m totally with bubbles! i don’t think I could live there knowing he shared it with his ex! but moving close to your due date sounds like a lot of work!

I think in the end you’ll be happier overall if you move soone rather then later! Good luck!

Moving asap sounds best because I am sure you wont want to do much close to the baby coming. Goodluck on the apartment. Are you sure you want to live on a 3rd floor? Its a pain to get a baby with stuff in and out of a first floor I couldnt imagine doing it from a 3rd floor.
