We're moving

In a couple of weeks, we are moving.

I'm not going to tell you the name of the city we're moving to for security purposes, but it's several miles south of where we live now. (If you're curious/want to know more, leave a comment with your email address.)

We can get into our new place on November 1 (it's a Sunday so we probably won't do more that day than drop off a couple of boxes and measure so I can decide how to arrange the furniture) and we don't have to be completely moved out of our current place until November 14, so we'll have a couple of weeks to move everything, clean here, and unpack at the new place. That will be nice, especially since it's a mid-semester move.

And, luckily, it's right off the freeway, so driving times aren't that different for Husband to get to work or school. I'll be driving significantly further to get to my school, but that will only be for a month or so before I graduate, so no big deal.

We're really excited! It's a big step up from where we live now. It's a 3-bedroom duplex.

Things that make me really happy:
1. Dishwasher (hurrah!)
2. Washer/dryer hookups (so we're saving up for those)
3. An actual dining room
4. More counter space and cupboards (unfortunately no pantry, so we'll have to adjust there)
5. Not on the 3rd floor
6. Trashcan and mailbox outside the door (no more hauling the trash to a far-away dumpster or walking far away to get the mail)
7. Two parking spaces that are ours
8. One bedroom for us, one for Jeric, and the other will be the office/guest room (currently, it's one for us and Jeric, one for the office/guest room/most baby stuff)
9. The landlords are awesome, then they have a little baby boy too! He's 3 or 4 weeks younger than Jeric. We are very fortunate.

There's probably more, but that's a good list for now :)
