Yet Another Move

We moved into a new apartment about 2 weeks ago.  So let me break down our addresses since July.  We started the summer living in Payson.  In July, we moved to my mom's house in Gunnison.  In August we moved into an apartment near the technology center in Denver.  In September we moved to another apartment in Centennial or Englewood.  We can't exactly figure out just what town we are living in at the moment.  We finally got our stuff out of storage, and for the first time since July, we are living with our stuff.  Sleeping in our bed.  Sitting on our couch.  Cooking with my pans.  It's great.  Sort of.

There is still another move in the works, mostly likely to happen in October or November.  We have put an offer on a house in Castle Rock.  It is a short sale, which is fortunately unfortunate.  We are getting the house way under value, but we have to deal with the short sale process and the wait.  As of now, the first bank has accepted our offer, but there is a second lender attached with the deal and we are waiting for them to accept the offer.  I suck at waiting.

So because there is another move in the works, we are still living in a temporary state of mind.  We don't really want to unpack all the boxes cause we will just have to box everything up in the weeks to come.  Plus, to stay in our rent budget, our appartment is not exactly five star living arangements.  There is not room to unpack the boxes.  There is 1 drawer and 3 cupboards in the kitchen.  Well, these pictures explain a lot.
This is Jordyn's room.  She sleeps in the closet.

This is the dining room.  There was no room for a table, not even the card table.
It looks like those hoarders that you see on TV.  We are anxious to get out of here!  But on the same note, we are so grateful to be here.  We are grateful we could find an apartment with a month contract.  We found an apartment in our budget and we are liking the neighborhood, area, and nearby shopping (we live behind a Hobby Lobby :))  I watched 'Pursuit of Happyness' the other night and was suddenly very grateful for this squishy little apartment.  And most of all we are grateful we know it is only temporary!
