Apartment Chosen!

We officially have an apartment! We weren't so sure that would happen since a mere 30 minutes before our cousin toured the "Mystery" apartment a lease was signed.

The apartment management company called and said he didn't need to come for a walk-through since it was already taken, and my heart sank. So Joe and I sat down, did some analyzing and number crunching, and came to a decision:

We are going with "Ka-Ching"!!!!

Yes, the rent is more expensive than what we were aiming for, but we wouldn't need to buy bus passes (a $160 savings per month) and they pay for heat (which, in the winter, can get really pricey). We also decided that we would forgo cable for Netflix and Hulu Plus.

Since I am already not going to be seeing Joe a lot, a 5 minute walk is much better than a 20+ minute walk to school each way. I can have lunch with him and bring him dinner if he is studying late.

We planned on moving to the burbs anyway second year, so this is one year of a bit more extravagant living than we expected.

And now for some pictures (please keep in mind I am a kick ass decorator. Our apartment will be super cutely decorated):
