lucky number 313

J put down a deposit on our new apartment today – #313! I’ve seen the apartment, I’ve reviewed the floor plans, I’ve known this was coming…but I still can’t believe it! The little girl in me is giddy at the idea of living with a boy. And look at all the space we’re going to have!

This is a rental apartment. We’re not ready to buy anything yet. When the time comes for that, if we’re still living in Omaha, we’ll probably buy a house – or build a new one. Crazy, right? But the cost of living out there is ridiculous. When we toured a different apartment complex, J actually laughed out loud when we were told how much the lease was. I’m paying more for one small bedroom in a tiny two bedroom fourth-floor walk-up in NYC than that entire two bedroom, two bathroom apartment would have cost us!
