We're moving!!! Just to Darien (a skip and a hop away) but definitely an upgrade.
Bye, bye Stamford, you truly were good to us. Bye, bye little top apartment house. I will miss you because you were the first place we called "home" together. First of every holiday. First dinner together as husband and wife. First big project. It was the perfect backdrop for the first 14 months of marriage. But I am really ready to say goodbye-
Goodbye:
Moldy bathroom
Slowest sink (the latest hoopla, we timed it-29 minutes to drain!)
Broken tub faucets
Yucky, dull, stained wood floors
Dust bunnies galore from radiant heat
Cold, drafty winter windows
Bacon smell every Sunday (3pm on the dot), apparently the landlords need their weekly pork fix (!!??!!)
Cat smell, thanks for that one too, landlords
But there are things I'm sad to say goodbye too as well:
Kitchen pantry
Separate his and her closets
Front and back deck
Arched doorway
The charm of a house almost 100 years old
Hello to the new! A DISHWASHER, thank you. A sparkling new bathroom, a sparkling new everything. No landlords on premise. Pretty, dark floors and over sized kitchen sink. Beautiful fresh paint I deliberated on for hhhhooouuurrrsss. I think we're really going to like it here (there).
Wedding in Palm Springs this weekend. Finals next week. Christmas in Utah the following week. Oh, and we're moving somewhere in all of that. Perfect. I am elated.
Oh! The primary reason for this post... Since we are moving we are also SELLING a few things:
LG 24" A/C unit (6 months old) 12,000 BTU
Grill (also 6 months old)
Microwave (1 year old)
and a rug, possibly two.
Be in touch if you are interested in any of the above items, or pass it on!

Yeah for new neighbors!!!! Can't wait to see the wall color you picked out and how the apartment turned out. With your touch it is going to look amazing either way!
Fun! That's exciting!
P.S. know the feeling of leaving a place you've lived together, it has special feelings, memories, & meaning so it is always kinda sad to leave!
Are you going to Palm Springs with Mckay? That will be nice to have warm weather and sunshine for a few days. Your first place will always be kind of a nostalgic thing. You know we regularly drive by our first place and point it out if any of you kids are in the car. Its fun for us.
Congrats dear! Moving is always exciting to me. even though i hate packing it up and unpacking it all. but it will be fun! xoxo
How exciting! We are looking in Darien as well. Happy Holidays and happy moving! :)
