I've really enjoyed working on projects over the last few years. The sanding, painting, and sawing. I imagine that once we move these kinds of tool-wielding, mess-making projects won't happen as much, which is a bit sad.

One of my last projects has been this desk. It's also been one of my most difficult, but it turned out well in the end (I think).

The before (and during)....






The after...

I'm SOOO happy to report that we found an apartment!

We ultimately decided to go with a place in the East Bay. We'd heard many good things about this area and it's not difficult to see why. It's perfect. Warm, clean, safe, and just gorgeous.

It's also going to allow us to have a free parking space (so we won't be going car-less after all - YAY!), a washer and dryer IN OUR UNIT (so we won't have to deal with laundromats!), easy access to BART, access to a great pool, 24-hour fitness center, and courtyard with grills and a fireplace. There's also beautiful parks, a 25-mile hiking/biking trail that runs right by our place, and great shopping and restaurants. It'll be really nice to live in a city that can hold its own, but is so close (45-ish minutes) to SF.

We seriously can't wait. And we won't have to, because we move in just a few weeks! Ahh!
