Our new townhome

On September 1st, with the help of both sets of parents, Steven and I moved into a townhouse. We loved Peachtree and were sad to move, but we were beginning to out grow our one bedroom, one bathroom apartment. We searched for a long time, and had a hard time finding something because Steven really wanted a dog, and there are few places that allow dogs (especially big ones) and aren't huge apartment buildings. When we had just about given up, we found this townhouse in a community where we had searched before. It was right within our price range, and after a few days of praying, decided to sign the lease for a year.
It is a 3 bedroom 4 bathroom 3 level townhouse (quite a jump from our one bedroom!). It has a basement, although honestly, we only use it for a storage area and for the laundry room, we mostly live on the top 2 floors. We had originally set up the 3 bedrooms upstairs as a master bedroom, guest bedroom and study/studio, but after we found out I was pregnant, that third bedroom is now going to be the nursery. Thanks to our saving grace, my mom, we were able to clear the studio of all the junk so that I could gradually fill it with baby stuff. Crazy!!
We have really loved the new place, although we know that we can only afford to stay here for one year. We are going to try to enjoy it as much as we can for this year. And, our search for a new place shouldn't be as hard because, much to Steven's chagrin, we will not be getting a dog. The litter that we were going to get one from one had 2 males, and with a new baby on the way, I really wanted a female. Oh well, I guess we will have to look into that after the baby comes.
I will post some pictures of the house soon!!
