New Place, New Town, New Adventure!

Ok, so this is VERY overdue! I began to write about my apartment search 2 weeks ago and it never quite got finished. So, I'm starting over and making it a little bit more brief (maybe!).

So, I found a place!!! It's a FABULOUS place too. My parents and I drove all around Simpsonville, SC (outside of Greenville...in between there and where my job is located). I had a list of different places I wanted to look at. My Daddy (smart man) had the brilliant idea that we should go to each one first and drive around the apartment complex and check out the area before actually touring the places. Well, turns out all but ONE just weren't in good locations or had a "sketchy" feel to them. The one we all just liked immediately was very nice! It had great landscaping, was in a good location, and it neighbors with a BIG fabulous CHURCH! (Which, after some research, we discovered seems to be very similar to my church back home! Yay!) We toured around the apartment, and the set-up is just perfect. The layout of the apartment is fab and it's got a lot of great touches to it that make it not feel so much like an "apartment." Best thing? The apartment that I got is RIGHT in front of the amazing POOL! So, it's got a GREAT view! I really have a prime location! All of the apartments have textured walls (kinda like stucco) that are painted tan. They all also come included with white crown molding and some modern looking light fixtures in the kitchen/bar area. Oh, and I get to choose paint colors for accent walls around my apartment too! So, my bedroom, the guest bedroom, the kitchen, and the dining room will all have a colored accent wall! And yes, it IS a 2 bed/2 bath so that I can have visitors! Now, if only I could afford everything I want for my new place right now! Patience is a virtue....gotta wait for those paychecks!

There's much more to describe, but I think I'll leave the rest to the pictures!

Living room. Mine won't have that extra sunroom in the back though; I'll have a door that leads to my patio!

Dining room area. This color on the wall is the color I'll be using too!

Kitchen...those cute lights are standard! The kitchen color will be the same color as mine.

It has a built-in desk area!

Community courtyard area...yes, that's a fireplace!

Dog walk area directly across from my apartment...Ninja will love it!

Pool/view from my apartment! The building on the left is mine and I'm on the corner!

The grill area...

Accent colors! Green: my bedroom, Teal: guest bedroom, Pumpkin: kitchen, Apricot (not pictured): dining room

Downtown Greenville...gorgeous!

My parents and I

The river in downtown Greenville...can't wait to move here!!

Now onto packing...bleh!
