Success!!!!!
I got a camera for Christmas and since then have taken a smattering of pseudo-artistic pictures of nature around me. Generally I am highly attracted to the juxtaposition of nature and structure, like so:
Anyway, the moral of the story is that I one took the following picture:
This may look a little familiar.... perhaps because it is a picture of the same beautiful birch tree that I sat under while waiting to see our new apartment!
Caitlin and I are moving one block west, to this place:
It is really exciting. The place is great: it's got character, an extra room, built-in bookshelves, a claw foot tub, a dining room, and... a DECK. Not one of those climb out a bedroom window onto the neighbor's roof and watch out for broken glass, no: a real deck.
Deck parties to come.
And it could end up being cheaper than our current place by a lot, depending. Buuut we'll see. Right now, I am really excited. I cannot WAIT to move over there... which we will be doing on the 15th! Or at least sometime in between the 15th and the 30th. It is going to be so nice to be able to come home and not have to turn the light so I can see, regardless of what time of day it is. And we can go read on our deck!! Woo!
