... we're moving! woot woot! we've been chatting about it casually for a while - about how we don't feel we get enough for our buck in our current housing on stanford's campus and how it would be grand to have a wee bit more space - so, this past saturday i took it upon myself to dive into the depths of craigslist in search for some new digs... and voila! it landed in our laps in a mere few hours later.
the new apartment is right across the street (literally) from where we live right now, so paul's "commute" to his office won't have to change a bit and we're in a really cute little neighborhood. the building is a 4-unit building with 1 carport included for each unit (yay for "snowball")! and then there's free parking on the neighborhood streets (where "old blue" will reside) AND there's a backyard!
the apartment has hardwood floors in all rooms but the bedroom (sweet) and the kitchen is wider than ours now and the stove top has 4 burners! the living room is huge and the entire apartment has a lot of great character (paul laughs at me when i say that, but it's so true... love it).
we have so many stories from this experience so far and can't wait for many more to come! maybe this will be an incentive for y'all to come visit sometime soon! (our first official out-of-state visitor will be the fabulous almost-dr. mark allen clapp in about 2 weeks... yay!)
the only tough thing about moving is that we'll be a little further away from our good friends michael & taylor zabala (they live right upstairs from us), but we timed the walk from one building to the next and it's definitely a do-able stride. and we'll have more room to entertain their sweet selves now!
here's a few pics to leave you wanting more :-)... oh, did i mention? we move in next weekend!!! so incredibly pumped. (also, if you want/need/are dying to have our new address as of march 10th, just email me at mbclarke@alumni.unc.edu)
