Downsizing

So. A little over a year ago, I moved to my husband's town where he's getting his PHD.
We chose an adorable loft in a not adorable part of a town. I moved in.
And then....
The mice invaded (we've killed at LEAST 14)
I left a soul sucking job
We got married and he moved in (read: awesome fun, but more expensive then you'd like)
Our utility bills were getting way out of control.

So. When our lease was coming up, we decided we needed to move. And decided that a rent we could afford on one salary in a part of town we actually liked was more important then a pretty apartment that we could just barely afford.
So on Monday, we sign a lease for a studio.
Granted, it's bigger then Sussanah's (yay) but it's still quite a bit smaller then our current 1.5 bathroom loft.
So while Susu is settling into a newlywed tiny studio life.....
I'm figuring out how to parse down our belonging's to a studio and how we're going to store away all of our stuff once we get there.
An adventure...it is a brewing folks.
:)

reality sets in

You're married! Congratulations! You're embarking on a new adventure with someone you love.

And then...

Reality.

Questions you may be asking yourself:
Where the heck is all our stuff going to go in this teeny tiny apartment?!
Where did all this stuff come from?!
How many pairs of shoes does my wife really need?
Does my husband really need all those dress shirts?

I understand.

You see, my husband and I were just married a couple of weeks ago (yay!) and he moved into my teeny-tiny-itty-bitty apartment.  I mean, we're talking maybe 300 square feet.  It's about the size of a large dorm room. Oy.

The purpose of this blog is to explore the life adventures that come along with being newlyweds living together in a living space that forces you to be up close and personal with each other.  And along the way, hopefully we'll learn some things about marriage and friendship and this new phase of life.

More posts, info on who we are, and many adventures to come!
