Life

Life this past month has been so busy! In a nutshell, this is what has happened, and later I'll post more about it:

October

We moved! yep, a last min kind of decision to get an awesome deal. Looked at lots of different options and after much calculation, figured that the most economic and practical decision was to stay in the same heavenly complex ,but move to a 2 bdrm (sadly on the third floor again). What did we get? Our own real bedroom (not the open loft), our own bathroom, 200 extra square footage and more storage spaces. Awesome tropical view of palm trees swimming pools and lakes. Very cool, and the best part? A huge porch that will soon become my own personal little studio.
I feel like I hardly have to spend anytime at all cleaning up the place. My motto to live by now is: Minimalism. Love the art movement; love the meaning of simplicity it brings to my life. Seriously not buying another thing for a very long time. I loved our old apartment, but after a while, the bathroom as the laundry room, kids, and our bathroom and the bike storage room= me cleaning up the bathroom at least 3 times a day. Not cool. Was getting sick of having one closet for all four of us, that stored items from food storage, toys, clothes, desks, drawers, etc. love the new view! and love the extra space. Seriously not moving for another 2 years. Will show pictures of the place soon. Everything is basically put away, just need to do some finishing touches of hanging things on the walls.

Robs parents Visit & Aunt Cheri.
Robs parents came to visit for a couple of weeks. We enjoyed the two days that they stayed at our house. Benjamin loves his grandparents. We played lots of memory (Benjamin likes to play this game) and basically had a very low key visit with them. We got to see them off and on at different family functions.
