Please Don't Think We're Crazy

SO I have hesitated posting this in the last couple days because it is kind of embarrassing. But here it goes.

A few months ago, we moved into this BEAUTIFUL, BIG, NICE, FANCY apartment. We thought it would be fun to live here because we only had one year left in Rexburg, we had some "vacation money" to splurge a little with, and Bryce needed a room or two for his office. Well, ever since Bryce's company moved out of our apartment last week, our apartment has just felt too big and too excessive.

So we called our managers and asked if we could possibly down size (saving us money and helping us live a little simpler.. we just don't need a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment). Initially they said that if we wanted to do that, we would have had to live here for 6 months, which would mean that we wouldn't move until February. Since that will be pretty close to baby time, we decided that was out of the question. An hour or so later, we got another phone call from our managers saying that there is a family that really wants to move into a 3-bedroom apartment, but that they didn't have any 3 bedroom apartments left. So they told us that they would make an exception for us, and that we could move into a new 2 bedroom apartment in a couple weeks.

We thought about it for a bit. We realized it would save us a bunch of money to downsize. We also found out that the apartment we would move in to was on sale. And it was brand new - no one has lived in it yet. And we would only have to climb one set of stairs instead of two - (which I love, especially as I am getting bigger and bigger and I seriously hate making multiple trips up all those stairs with groceries.) But here was the main selling point for Bryce - our new apartment has a fireplace. He REALLY wanted the fireplace.

Anyway. So I am a little embarrassed that we are moving again. After only 3 months. Especially when we had so many people help us move in the first time. Luckily, we have significantly fewer things to move now that Bryce has moved his office out. We literally have 2 empty bedrooms at the moment. And luckily, we are only moving a stairwell over. And we can move over one room at a time and get everything nice and unpacked.

Anyway. Don't think we are crazy. I just hope we can get everything moved over and ready so that we can still come home for Thanksgiving!
