Ok, so at the moment Steve and I have two places of residency - one in Socorro and one in Albuquerque. We are definitely not moving from our residence in Socorro. Steve bought the house two years ago, and we plan on keeping it until I graduate from Tech in May of 2007. I stay in that house during the school week. We are moving from our residence in Albuquerque, which is an apartment.
This is pretty much a spare of the moment decision. Steve has a brother, Ed, who owns a trailer here in Albuquerque. Currently, Ed is in the Utah National Guard and is gone a lot for training. He had two friends live in his trailer, and when he is not training, he stays in the guest room of his trailer. Well, the last time Ed was down in Albuquerque (which was just after Christmas) he mentioned to Steve that his friends were thinking about moving out and he needed to find someone to rent the trailer.
This turned out to be a perfect situation. First, Ed's friends weren't moving out until this month (Actually, they moved out this past weekend) and our lease at the apartment expires at the end of his month. So it was an opportune time to move out of our apartment. Also, with Steve and I living in the trailer, Ed will have a place to stay when he is not training for the Guard. It will also be cheaper to rent the trailer than it is to rent the apartment we are currently in. So it turned out to be a great deal.
The trailer is actually very nice. It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bathroom is very nice. It has a HUGE bathroom and then an separate shower. The vanity area is pretty spacious as well. Steve and I might actually be able to get ready at the same time there and not have to kick accouter out of the way for the sink or mirror space. There's a walk-in closet in the master bedroom, and that bedroom is pretty big. The kitchen is spacious and has a small island for extra counter space. Oh yeah, there's a washer and dryer there as well. The trailer is located in a gated community, and is located near UNM. It will be easier for Steve to get to school, and it will cut 10-20 minutes off of my commute.
There are lots of advantages to this move,and Steve and I are excited about living in the trailer. We are not excited about the move though. Moving is so tiring and time consuming. And things end up broken. Thank God for our friends who are going to help out. We will be moving this Saturday, and hopefully will have the trailer in somewhat order before school starts on Tuesday.
Wish us luck on our move, and pray that Steve does not drop anything. :)
