Gooodbye Phoenix...

Hello again Gilbert. After way too many back tiring back and forth trips up and down the stairs ( moving is a bitch) we said goodbye to our cute little apartment.... because of its awesome location and simple fact that it was OUR first place made us grow attached to it.  Goodbyes are so bittersweet, closed one chapter and about to open another. We moved into my sisters house for this week as our closing is suppose to be this Friday, I say "suppose to be" because this process has been insane and I'm prepared for anything to go wrong at any point....but FINGERS CROSSED that Friday is the day.

The temporary move to my sisters has its ups and downs, I'm grateful that shes letting us crash for this week and I love having Sofia around all the time but I sure hate having our stuff in the garage...the room we are sleeping in is Sofia's playroom with her toys all over the place, there is no room to put our clothes anywhere. So every morning for this whole week we have to go into the garage to get dressed, fun stuff, right? I pray this stay wont go past this weekend.

The ridiculous chaos of buying a home has be wanting to rip my hair out, that's to say the least. There is always something that the underwriters need, I wish I could tell them to shove it. They even ask for a written explanation of certain deposits in our accounts...umm we have jobs, we make deposits, what else do you need explained? I cant wait for this process to finally be over...any longer and I might go insane.

I have a very dreadful doctors apt tomorrow,  I think Id cry if I didn't have Danny to go with me. Wish me luck!

Here are some pictures from Sundays move....

Queen of procrastination

Last night in our apartment!
We're scheduled a U-Haul truck for 9AM tomorrow, and I have yet to pack up this whole place up.
Its gonna be an an all nighter, Im kinda sad to put everything in cardboard boxes.
Taking down our picture frames especially ( Im a big baby, I know)

On a brighter note, we had a very successful furniture shopping day! we got a whole bedroom set, 2 couches for the living room and a loveseat for the master. Im so excited! I'm so tired of Ikea stuff that we always ended up with to save money. Now we'll finally have solid  "grown up" furniture.

I also bought our FIRST decoration today
(this is why I'm still not packed) I'm Internet browsing & shopping instead.


I absolutely love this quote, Its going to go on our staircase wall, surrounded by a collage of framed photos of our family & friends. I came across the idea on one of the many 'decor ideas & tips' sites.
Alrighty time to tackle this chore, gonna have me some tea with a ton of caffeine first.

WISH ME LUCK!

buh-bye apartment life!

Our apartment is looking more and more sad everyday, as everything  is slowly put into into boxes in preparation for our move!!

Things I will miss about it:
View of Camelback mountain on one side & the city on the other
hot tub & gym
city vibe of the area
wood floor in the bathroom

Things I will surely not miss:
My homosexual next door neighbor going at it with his boyfriend
(nothing against gays, but hearing that can be disturbing)
neighbors who party it up at 4AM
going down 4 stories to walk Charlie


We have to be out by this Sunday, its gonna be a busy busy weekend!


 Cheers to the big move!
