Wyatt and I are moving! We went today and signed the lease for our new apartment!
It's been an interesting process looking for and deciding on an apartment for the two of us. I had been on my own for 5 years when I moved back in with my dad. I had kind of a standard for the kind and quality of apartment I looked for. But now that I have Wy, it's like starting from the beginning all over again. In fact our new place is very similar to my first place while I was in college. It's a little small, Wy's room is very small, mine is a pretty decent size, the bathroom isn't huge and only has a small little linen closet (which is the only linen closet in the place)...I could go on. But my dad reminded once, that I have to look at it as that we are just starting out. We have to go back to that place where it's our first place and we will live where we can afford. As long as it's safe it will be ok.
So I am happy with our little 2bdrm in Hoffman Estates, 5 min from daycare, 30 min from work, across from a middle school, near lots of shopping. Wyatt will still have his own room with plenty of closet space for all those toys he is going to be playing with soon. I will have room for people to come hang out or stay the weekend. The bathroom might have 1970's yellow tile in the tub area and behind the sink, but my towels are purple so it will at least kind of match. More than anything, we will have a place of our own!

Can't wait to see the new place!
Really hoping to visit soon! I miss you guys!! You will never forget your first place with Wy. One of the keys to success tho will be to only have as little as possible with you. If you don't have room...let it stay in storage. Someday you will have a place big enough for everything. For now, the coziness of your new apartment will be perfect for you and your son. Congratulations mommie...you're doing it! See you soon.
