Movin' on up...

Well, we haven't moved to the East side. And we have moved to an apartment, but it's ground level; it's not in the sky. But that makes such a clever little title, doesn't it?

Josh and I are in love with our new apartment. We just moved this weekend. You can be jealous of our commute: it only takes us 20 minutes to get to work! Yes! So instead of leaving the house at 7 am, I'm waking up at 7 am.
My other favorite part is the kitchen. It's newly remodeled with brand new, shiny black appliances. Josh said I can have the kitchen all to myself. I don't think that's a huge sacrifice on his part, but it's still all mine. :-)
Also, it has a really big laundry room, but until we find a permanent home for all of our boxes of books, the laundry room is functioning as interim bookshelf.

In the process of unpacking I discovered that the baby bassinet we were given (it is very cute) makes an excellent holder for all of my stuffed animals. I'm not sure where we'll put the baby though...maybe a drawer? Josh could give up one of his probably.

We also have our Christmas tree put up. We had an interesting time decorating it. Last year we had a nice 6' tree, but this year they were all out of the 6' trees. So, we got a great price on a 7' tree, but we really only have enough ornaments for a 6' tree. We can just enjoy lots of lovely tree branches in all their evergreen glory I guess.

Oh, and in baby news, Josh and I heard it's little heartbeat last week. That was very exciting, and it was also a nice little reminder that, yes, there is a little person in there. If I think about that for too long I start to feel like somebody out of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I mean, of course it's the beautiful miracle of life and all of that, but let's face it, the whole concept is a little bizarre.
We will find out the sex of the baby on January 8.

I will post apartment pictures as soon as our internet is connected, which will be Saturday.
