We are on the move!!!

As of December 15th we will be official residents of Venice, California. We are super excited to be graduating to a bigger place.

Here is what living in a 450 square foot place for so long makes us appreciate about our new place:

*you can do a complete 360 turn with your arms out in the living room without hitting anyone or anything

*There is a door on the bathroom

*There is more than one opening to the outside world.

*There are windows

*We won't be living in the back of a garage

*It has a real life adult size oven! (as opposed to our toaster oven) I don't bake often, but is nice to know I could if I wanted!

*Jess can keep his clothes inside the apartment...as opposed to outside in the garage.

*We can have guests over to watch football without having to turn the tv around to the outside.

*more than 3 people can fit inside the apartment

*our guests will be much more comfortable with a state of the art air mattress and their OWN room with a door on it!!



Here are some more cool pros about our new place:

*It is in the heart of Venice...cool, young crowd.

*7 blocks to the beach

*Still west of Lincoln (so I can still wear my AWOL t-shirt...Always West Of Lincoln)

*3 blocks to famous Abbot Kinney...cool shops, restaurants, bars and where I get my haircut

*TWO bedrooms! We are going to make the smaller bedroom a record playing hang out room/guest room w/ air mattress when needed

*wood floors throughout/black and white tile in bathroom and kitchen

*Still close to my work. about a 20 minute drive instead of a 5/10 minute drive.

*Closer to our friends. Ryan lives 2 blocks away!

*Small outdoor area. Big enough for our grill and some chairs.

WE ARE SUPER PUMPED AND WOULD LOVE SOME VISITORS!!!
