and the apartment hunt is done.... :)

Ok, So once upon a time, I decided I REALLY wanted to move out! At first, the plan was I was just going to move out for the summer, but then I started talking to these two girls in my ward, and we decided we'd all move out together. It was going to be GREAT! Well, we started looking and things were so expensive, so I decided to invite our other friend too! Now, these three girls are all fantastic, so we were going to party like none other!!
BUT..... no luck! I found a few places that sounded good, but nothing was working in our favor. There was even one that we went and looked at and were sooo in love with, but then the lady told me when I went to return the key, that we couldn't have 4 girls, it was in the wrong zone for that. soo, we kept looking.... and looking... for 3 months!!! and I was going insane! and so sick of looking! we looked a few other places, but nothing that really felt right.....
So we were deciding what to do when one day, one of the girls told us she couldn't move out. She had just got a calling in our Relief Society Presidency. Awesome..... then one of the other girls and I talked and she really liked this place, that I wasn't a huge fan of. so we decided we'd go our separate ways. Which I felt kinda bad about because she REALLY has to move out! she will have no where to live soon. :(
but as bad as i felt about that, once that decision was made and it was just down to me and another girl, the heavens opened and I found this apartment, that is wonderful!
It's in the basement of this grandma's house down on the island. It's just a little 2 bedroom, BUT it's so cute! The back part(the bedrooms and bathroom) have been recently re-done, and the bathroom is pretty large! The kitchen doesn't have loads of storage space, but it has the most fantastic turquoise oven and sink in the entire world! and the front area is kinda small, but it works pretty well for our TV and couch and such. It is kinda chilly, but in the summer I think that will be fantastic, and in the winter-- well we'll see what happens. there's always blankets and jackets and slippers and fuzzy socks! :)

The outside of the house is beautiful, and it's pretty close to campus which will be great! There's a cute little creek that runs along the back of the huge yard, and a little walkway right by the house that can go along the creek in the back. It's so nice to know it's my place! and in August, MARIANA will be moving in with me too(my dear roommate, but she can't move out until then so the apartment is all mine for the summer!) I've got my work cut out for me in un-packing and organizing, but it will be a great adventure, and a fantastic place to live for the year!!
